Serial Port Setup

Before the TRANSPONDER SETUP menu can be accessed, the SV-XPNDR-261/262 needs to be
set up as a serial device on each SkyView display on the system. To accomplish this:

Go to SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP.

Navigate to the serial port that you physically connected the transponder module to in

the previous steps.

Select either “Dynon 261 Transponder” or “Dynon 262 Transponder” as appropriate for

the module you own. Note that other fields are automatically configured and cannot be
changed. Press ACCEPT.

Exit SETUP. Repeat on any other displays on your SkyView system.

The data transmitted between the SkyView display and the SV-XPNDR-261/262 nominally
includes encoded altitude data from SkyView’s ADAHRS. Therefore, no other altitude encoder
hardware or SkyView serial port setup is required. However, some locales may require the use
of a certified altitude encoder with the Dynon SV-XPNDR-261/262 Transponder. SkyView
supports external serial altitude encoders that use Icarus/Garmin format. When one is
connected, the SV-XPNDR-261/262 uses the external altitude encoder data source instead of
