SkyView HDX Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E 4-27
4.4 Display Setup
You can access important information about a SkyView display, as well as configure serial
ports, characterize your display backlight behavior, and specify other display-specific
settings.
4.4.1 How to Access Display Hardware Information
Enter the Display Hardware Information Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY
SETUP > DISPLAY HARDWARE INFORMATION) to access important display hardware
information. This menu contains status information only – nothing on it is configurable.
Reference the Operation Section of this manual for more information about this menu.
4.4.2 Serial Port Configuration
Reference serial device documentation for serial communication
specifications.
SkyView serial ports are configured in the Serial Port Setup Menu (SETUP MENU >
SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP). SkyView serial ports have four (4)
parameters that must be defined:
• Input Device.
• Input Function.
• Baud Rate.
• Output Device.
Note that sometimes a parameter will be defined as NONE on the screen. For
example, when a serial port is configured as only an output, the input device
and input function will both be set to NONE.
4.4.2.1 Input Device
Set the input device to the data format the SkyView display should expect from an input
device. The configurable options list contains equipment by brand and model and also
generic data formats such as NMEA and aviation. NMEA is the standard format for most
GPS units the SV-GPS-2020). Aviation is used by some Garmin and Bendix/King panel
mount equipment. If your specific equipment is listed by brand and model, we recommend
you configure SkyView to use this option instead of a generic data format.
If you have any ARINC-429 devices, these are configured separately. See Section 13
SV-ARINC-429 Module Installation and Configuration for more information.
4.4.2.2 Input Function
SkyView has several options for input functions: NONE, GPS, NAV, or POS. Set the
device’s input function to NONE if it does not have an input function.
