Dynon SkyView HDX - Aircraft Information

SkyView HDX Display Installation and Configuration
4-30 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E
• BRIGHTNESS TARGET – This is a percentage ranging from 0% to 100% that
represents the calculated target backlight level based on the sensed ambient
light level and the percent brightness sensor value map. The actual brightness
never drops below 20% when the Brightness Setup Page is displayed, even
though the target value may be below 20%.
• XX% Brightness Sensor Value – There are four (4) brightness sensor values:
25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. These values are correlated to a user-specified
brightness sensor value, which are to the right of the percent value. These
percentages along with the minimum brightness sensor value (explained
below) form the calibration points for the backlight management profile. When
the current brightness sensor value matches one (1) of these points, the target
backlight level is adjusted to its matching percentage. When the current
brightness sensor value is in between these points, the display interpolates
between the points and calculates an appropriate target backlight level. These
values must be set by the user.
• MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS SENSOR VALUE – This is an integer value ranging
from 0 to 999 that represents the smallest amount of light that is expected to
be sensed by the integrated light sensor. This must be set by the user.
• RESET TO DYNON AVIONICS DEFAULTS – (If needed) Use this option to
start over.

4.4.3.2 External Brightness Management
The brightness level of SkyView and Dynon Avionics panel units can be increased or
decreased by applying 0 to 36 volts DC to a SkyView display’s DIM INPUT (Pin 25).
Dynon Avionics offers the SV-KNOB-DIMMER (P/N 102801-000) as a convenient way to
use this feature.
4.4.4 Top Bar Setup
The top bar is the strip across the top of the screen. It displays textual information such
as the clock, autopilot status, transponder, and COM radio status.
Enter the Top Bar Setup Page to configure the top bar (SETUP MENU > LOCAL
DISPLAY SETUP > TOP BAR SETUP).
4.4.5 Aircraft Information
Use the Aircraft Information Page (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > AIRCRAFT
INFORMATION) to record important information about your aircraft.
The tail number must be present for SkyView network configuration and
operation.
If you have more than one display in your SkyView system, the tail number
only needs to be set on the display that you initially perform the Network
Configuration on. At network configuration time, all other displays that are set
