Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration
10-16 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision S
Servo Calibration Procedure
Servo calibration cannot be performed without an SV-ADAHRS-200 installed and
configured in the SkyView system.
The servo calibration procedure identifies the orientation and range of motion of each servo
and must be performed before the servo test procedure. SkyView uses this procedure to
automatically differentiate between the pitch and the roll servos.
To calibrate the servos, enter the Servo Calibration Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE
CALIBRATION > SERVO CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION) and follow the onscreen instructions to
calibrate the servo(s). If the servo calibration procedure is successful, SkyView will automatically
instruct you to run the servo test procedure.
During SERVO CALIBRATION, SkyView checks the status of the AP Disengage/CWS Button. If
SkyView detects that the button is pressed (the input is grounded) upon entering SERVO
CALIBRATION, the AP Disengage/CWS Button is assumed to be stuck (or incorrectly installed),
resulting in a message is displayed, and the SERVO CALIBRATION is aborted:
The servo disconnect switch appears to be pressed and may be
installed incorrectly. The servo disconnect switch should be
a type Momentary, Push Button Normal Open (PBNO).
Press cancel below to return to the servo calibration menu.
Servo Test Procedure
The servo test procedure requires a successful servo calibration. The servo test procedure
verifies that each servo is configured properly by moving the control surfaces while the installer
verifies the correct movement. You may run this procedure on its own at any time after a
successful servo calibration. SkyView will not display AP status on the Top Bar until after this
test procedure is successfully completed.
To run this procedure on its own (after a successful servo calibration procedure), enter the
Servo Test Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > SERVO CALIBRATION > TEST)
and follow the onscreen instructions to test the servo(s).
Autopilot Servo Initial Setup
There are several parameters in the Autopilot Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP)
that allow you to tune the behavior of the SkyView autopilot system. This section describes
these adjustable parameters. Note that the Autopilot Setup Menu is only accessible after a
successful servo test procedure.
Autopilot Setup Options
Autopilot Controls
SkyView’s autopilot can be operated using one of two very distinct control schemes:
