functionality until full troubleshooting can be performed on the ground. These alerts are
presented in SkyView’s alerting system, which is described in a later chapter of this guide.
Serial I/O
SkyView displays have five RS-232 serial ports for connection to compatible equipment. All
serial ports are wired into the SkyView Display Harness (SV-HARNESS-D37). All serial ports have
configurable baud rates and data formats for use as general purpose inputs and outputs.
USB
SkyView displays have three USB ports. Two are built into the back of the display and one is
wired into the SkyView Display Harness for convenience. USB ports are used for firmware
updates and backups, database updates, and configuration file uploads and downloads. Each
SkyView display ships with a USB flash drive for use in these instances. The USB ports are also
used for Procedure Chart, Airport Diagram and en-route chart database storage. This requires a
larger USB flash drive than SkyView’s included flash drive which must remain plugged into the
unit during use. The SkyView Video Input Adapter also plugs into the USB port, and must be
plugged into the display before power on and remain plugged in for the full flight to view video
on the connected display. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on
how to use the USB ports for the operations mentioned above.
Display
The SV-D700 display is a 7-inch, 800 by 480 pixel, 1200+ nit TFT active matrix LCD screen. The
SV-D1000 display is a 10.2-inch, 1024 by 600 pixel, 1350+ nit TFT active matrix LCD screen. The
SV-D1000T display is a 10.2-inch, 1024 by 600 pixel, 1350+ nit TFT active matrix capacitive
multi-touch LCD screen. SkyView displays utilize LED backlighting technology for increased
lifespan, more uniform brightness, superior dimmability, and reduced power consumption.
Displays are capable of automatic screen backlight level management. Reference the SkyView
System Installation Guide for instructions on how to enable this feature.
Joysticks and Buttons
User interaction takes place via the two joysticks and eight buttons along the bottom of the
display’s bezel.
Data Logging
SkyView displays with Software version 5.1 or higher have the ability to record and store flight
information in two logs for export by the user. The User Data Log recording rate can be
configured by the user in the SkyView Setup Menu. For more information on configuration,
retrieval, and analysis see the SkyView System Installation Guide.
