setting. The system will not allow you to set these numbers higher or lower than the sensor can
support.
SHOW SENSOR UNITS (YES | NO)
Some custom developed sensors may warrant a graphical widget that is not expressed in any of
the units that SkyView’s EMS supports. In such cases, you can suppress the display of the
widget’s actual unit of measurement (volts, degrees, etc.) by setting SHOW SENSOR UNITS to
NO.
EMS Sensor Ranges
The order that ranges are configured has no effect on the functionality or display of the gauge.
Ranges are defined with the following properties: enable, color, top, and bottom. Enable is
used to tell SkyView if that range is on or off. If it is off, it will not be considered or displayed.
Each gauge can consist of up to five ranges. If fewer ranges are desired (such as a contact), set
the unneeded ranges ENABLE: NO. Each range has an associated color: Black, Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, White, or Cyan. If a range is not defined, it is considered black, so
there is not generally a reason to configure black ranges. If ranges overlap, the following rules
apply:

Red trumps Yellow

Yellow trumps Green

Green trumps Blue / Cyan / Orange / Violet / White / Yellow (these are equal priority)

Blue / Cyan / Orange / Violet / White / Yellow (these are equal priority) trumps Black
For example, you could set up two ranges for the same gauge, each 0-10, one Red, and one
Green, and that range would be Red. To further illustrate this behavior, if another range for
that same gauge was configured from 5-15 and set to Yellow, only 10-15 would be Yellow.
The two edge ranges are considered to go on "forever," so if a gauge is set up as Yellow from 10
to 20 and Red from 20 to 30, and the sensor reads 35, it will still be considered Red since that is
above the highest range. It will be considered Yellow below 10. If you wish for this not to occur,
you must make your edge ranges Black.
Alarms are only triggered when ALARM: SELF-CLEAR or LATCHING and the value enters a Red
range on a gauge. When values enter into a Yellow range, their numerical value is highlighted in
Yellow to annunciate the caution condition.
Fuel Computer Configuration
Setting Pulses/Gallon
To find and configure the pulses/gallon value associated with your fuel flow transducer:
If you have the Floscan 201B (Dynon P/N 100403-001), this number can be found on the tag
that came with the transducer. The pulses/gallon value for transducer is 10 times the number
shown after the dash. So, if your transducer had the tag that is labeled “16-2959”, you would
