Dynon Avionics SkyView System Installation Guide - Manual (Page 54)

Basic SkyView Display Operation
3-10 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision S
Note that this menu occupies the entire screen. The menus above have menus of their own. The
information in this section contains information on the purposes of each of the above menus as
well as a list of each menu's respective menus and their functions.
Pages and wizards that require users to do something have explicit onscreen
instructions. Most actions are simple enough and onscreen instructions are more
than adequate. In these cases, explicit instructions are not contained in this guide.
In cases where onscreen instructions are not present, instructions are included in
this guide.
System Software Menu
You must have a USB flash drive that is recognizable by the display in one of the
USB slots to open this menu. All of the functions under this menu either write to or
read from the flash drive.
Detailed instructions for all of the menus listed below are included in the Firmware
Updates and File Operations Section of this guide.
The Software System Menu contains links to the following wizards:

UPGRADE SYSTEM SOFTWARE... – Use this wizard to update software on your SkyView
system.

LOAD FILES... – Use this wizard to load files such as settings or configuration files or delete
files from the USB flash drive.

EXPORT SETTINGS... – Use this wizard to export the settings on your SkyView system to a
USB flash drive. Note that (as of V6.0) calibration settings are not exported, including servo
calibrations, fuel tank calibrations, and compass calibrations.

EXPORT USER DATA LOGS… – Use this wizard to export user data logs in human-readable
CSV format. See Appendix F: User Data Logs for further information about user data logs.

EXPORT USER WAYPOINTS… – Use this wizard to export all of the User Waypoints that are
currently stored in your SkyView system.

EXPORT DYNON DIAGNOSTIC FILE... – This specialized data log can only be interpreted by
Dynon Avionics Engineers; there is no data in it that can be interpreted by customers.
Dynon Avionics Technical Support may request this log in the course of troubleshooting,
especially for issues related to AP performance. Note that this log is very big – over 500 MB
– and takes minutes to save to a USB flash drive. Unless directed to export this log by Dynon
Avionics, there is no reason to do so. Dynon Avionics Technical Support will provide a link to
directly upload this file to Dynon Avionics (it’s too big to be emailed).
If you have more than one SkyView display in your system, you may be requested to save
the Dynon Diagnostic File from each of your SkyView displays as each display can
sometimes contain different diagnostic data. If you save the Dynon Diagnostic File from
multiple displays onto the same USB flash drive, use the 33-character name field to
distinguish the two files, such as naming one “LEFT” and the other one “RIGHT”.
