SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision S 3-1
3. Basic SkyView Display Operation
After reading this chapter, you should be familiar with basic SkyView display operation
including how to use joysticks and buttons, how to turn displays on and off, how to access and
navigate menus, how to configure SkyView networks, and how to perform firmware updates
and other file operations.
The SkyView SV-D700 and SV-D1000 displays are identical in functionality and
presentation. The only difference is in the size and resolution of the screen.
Screen Synchronization
SkyView is designed to operate as an integrated system. SkyView configurations with more than
one networked display automatically share and synchronize settings on all displays. In-flight
settings such as baro and bugs are synchronized in real time as they are adjusted. Setup menu
items are synchronized when the user exits the setup menu and also at boot up. Aviation and
obstacle databases are synchronized when they are loaded on any screen if Ethernet is
connected.
It is not possible to have displays on the same network that do not share configurations,
settings, and real time items. Even if a unit is off when settings are adjusted, they will be
synchronized at boot.
For displays to properly synchronize settings their tail numbers must be the same
and SkyView Network must be configured correctly. See the Network Setup and
Status Section of this manual for information about these required setup steps.
Only one setup menu in the network may be open at once. If you try to open a setup menu on a
display while it is open on another display, you will see OTHER SCREEN IN SETUP on the screen
and not be allowed to open the setup menu. There is no "master" in the system; changes made
on any screen in the system will be automatically reflected on all other screens.
Some things are purposefully not synchronized on displays: firmware, sensor configuration files
(.sfg), and local display settings. You must ensure that each display is running the appropriate
firmware, up-to-date databases, and sensor configuration file. All of these files are available for
download at

settings are appropriately configured.
