System Overview
SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E 2-21
7. Setting the Tail Number is required before you can configure your SkyView
Network (described below): SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION > TAIL
NUMBER. If the Tail Number has not yet been issued for your plane, set the TAIL
NUMBER to something other than DYNON AVIONICS. Note that for US planes,
the leading N is a required part of the TAIL NUMBER. The TAIL NUMBER should
not include dashes (-) or spaces.
Examples:
Correct: N120AB
Incorrect: N-120AB, N12OAB, 120AB, or N 12AB
8. SkyView displays and modules communicate over a common set of wires – the
SkyView Network that terminates at the D9 connectors on the back of your
SkyView display(s). Getting all modules and displays “talking” on SkyView Network
is done by going to SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK
SETUP > CONFIGURE > (right click one (1) more time). If a module is noted as
“requires update”, press the UPDATE button. Otherwise, press the FINISH button.
Note that you will not see any flight instruments or engine instruments before a
network configuration is performed, even if the SV-ADAHRS-200/201 and SV-
EMS-220 have been wired properly and are connected.
9. Devices that do not utilize the SkyView Network are connected via RS-232 serial
port connections. Dynon Avionics devices that use RS-232 serial ports include the
SV-ADSB-472, SV-GPS-2020, SV-XPNDR-261, and various third-party devices.
As RS-232 serial devices are not part of the SkyView Network, they will not be
seen on the list of devices seen as you configure the SkyView Network above.
Instead, configuring SkyView to communicate with SV-GPS-2020 and SV-
XPNDR-261 is done via a more manual process in SETUP MENU > SYSTEM
SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP.
10. If you have installed an SV-GPS-2020, its SERIAL IN FUNCTION must be set to
POS 1.
11. After you have configured the SkyView Network, and have properly configured any
serial devices, exit SETUP MENU. Your SkyView display should now display EMS,
PFD, and. Map will not display without a GPS fix (the airplane symbol on the Map
page will also flash with “?” if it does not have a GPS fix.
12. Your SkyView System may require various updates, such as system Software,
databases, and Sensor Definitions. See http://downloads.dynonavionics.com for
certified products for more details on the updates available for the SkyView HDX
System.
13. Common issues for setting up SkyView engine monitoring:
a. The configuration of sensors installed on SkyView at the factory is generic;
therefore, “Red X’s” on the EMS for various sensors are normal until sensor
configuration for your particular engine sensor configuration is complete.
b. The layout of which sensor “widgets” are shown on the screen: sizes; styles;
etc., is completely configurable: SETUP > EMS SETUP > SCREEN LAYOUT
EDITOR.
