SkyView HDX Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E 4-29
4.4.2.5 Output Device
Set output device to the data format the serial device should expect from the SkyView
display (e.g., ICARUS (10ft)).
4.4.2.6 Example SkyView Serial Port Configuration for Icarus-Compatible
Transponder
This example assumes that an Icarus format compatible transponder has been installed
on serial port 1.
1. Enter the Serial Port 1 Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL
PORT SETUP > SERIAL PORT 1 SETUP).
2. Set serial 1 input device to NONE (SERIAL 1 IN DEVICE: NONE).
3. Set serial 1 in function to NONE (SERIAL 1 IN FUNCTION: NONE).
4. Set serial 1 baud rate to 9600 (SERIAL 1 IN/OUT BAUD RATE: 9600)
5. Set serial 1 output device to ICARUS (100ft) or ICARUS (10ft) (SERIAL 1 OUT
DEVICE: ICARUS (100ft) or ICARUS (10ft).
6. Press BACK or EXIT to save the settings.
4.4.3 Brightness Setup
Enter the Brightness Setup Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP >
BRIGHTNESS SETUP) to characterize the display’s backlight behavior. The backlight
level can be adjusted manually by the user automatically by the display based on ambient
light conditions, or by an external control signal while on the Brightness Setup Page and
in normal flight. Regardless of the specified control method, users always have the option
to manually adjust the backlight level in the Dim Menu.
4.4.3.1 Automatic Brightness Management
To set the backlight level so that it automatically adjusts, set BRIGHTNESS SOURCE to
INTERNAL (ZERO OFFSET) or INTERNAL (LAST) depending on whether you want the
brightness setting to reset when SkyView is started, or you want the brightness setting
from SkyView’s last use to be used when SkyView is started. When this option is selected,
dimming is normally controlled automatically via ambient light detection, but it can also
be controlled manually by using the DIM Menu. Dynon Avionics has created a default
dimming profile that should work well in most aircraft. If you find that this profile does not
work well in your installation, it can be customized to suit your preferences using the tools
on the BRIGHTNESS SETUP Menu. This menu displays several parameters; which are
listed and briefly explained below:
• LOCAL BRIGHTNESS SENSOR – This is an integer value ranging from 0 to
999 that represents the amount of light sensed by the display’s integrated light
sensor. Use this value to characterize the ambient light levels in your
installation during characterization.
