27 Appendix E: Serial Data Output
Any of SkyView’s five (5) RS232 serial ports can be configured to output various types of
serial data via SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP. Technical
information on the installation and connection to the serial ports can be found in the Serial
Devices section of the SkyView Installation Manual. To output serial data, you must select
either DYNON EMS, ADAHRS, DYNON SYSTEM, DYNON ADAHRS + SYSTEM,
DYNON ADAHRS + EMS, or DYNON ADAHRS + SYS + EMS, NMEA OUT (BASIC), or
NMEA OUT (FULL) as a Serial Out device, select a baud rate, and connect the serial port
to an external serial device such as a PC. The serial data can be logged using any
standard serial terminal program, a data logger program, or dedicated data logger device.
All numbers are output in decimal except where noted and are standard ASCII. To view
the data using a terminal program, that program should be configured to receive data in
the following format:
• Baud rate: Set baud rate to match the baud rate selected on SkyView’s
serial port.
• Data: 8 bit.
• Parity: none.
• Stop: 1 bit.
• Flow control: none.
Multiple SkyView display systems: SkyView’s serial ports are designed in a
way that allows serial transmission to continue, uninterrupted, as long as at
least one (1) SkyView display is operational. SkyView accomplishes this by
transmitting from only one (1) display’s serial ports in a multi-display system.
SkyView manages which display is the “actual transmitter” automatically to
avoid serial port conflicts. However, the display that transmits is not user-
selectable. Therefore, for reliable serial reception in multi-display systems, a
SkyView serial data output wire must be wired from each display, in parallel,
to the external serial device that is being used to capture SkyView’s serial
data.
