SV-D700 / SV-D1000 / SV-D1000T Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide – Revision S 4-11
If you see a screen similar to the one in Figure 23, simply press the button labeled UPDATE to
update the firmware running on the equipment in the SkyView network.
To check on SkyView network status, enter the NETWORK STATUS… Menu in the Network
Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > NETWORK STATUS…).
The Network Status Page shows all displays, modules, servos, and other Dynon Avionics
products installed on the SkyView network via the D9 SkyView Network connectors. This
includes the following devices: SV-D700 / SV-D1000 / SV-D1000T displays, SV-ADAHRS-200/201
modules, SV-EMS-220/221 modules, SV-ARINC-429 modules, SV-COM-PANEL for SV-COM-C25
and SV-COM-X83 COM radios, SV-AP-PANEL / SV-KNOB-PANEL control panels, and Dynon
Autopilot Servos. It does NOT include any non-Dynon devices or any of the following Dynon
devices that connect via a method other than SkyView Network: SV-XPNDR-261/262
transponders, SV-ADSB-470 ADS-B receiver, SV-GPS-250 GPS receiver, OAT(s), or individual
engine sensors.
SkyView Network has redundancy and error detection features which allow it to detect and
annunciate module and SkyView Network wiring faults. In the event that SkyView reports a
problem with an ADAHRS, EMS module, autopilot servo, or a problem with the “standby
network”, this NETWORK STATUS page will provide more information about the nature of the
problem.
Ethernet Connection
SkyView systems containing more than one display should ideally have their Ethernet ports
connected together for best operation. See the SkyView System Construction section in this
manual for further information about Ethernet.
Internal Time Keeping
Zulu/GMT time is initially obtained from a GPS source. Time is displayed as “--:--:--“until a GPS
fix containing time is found. When a display is turned off, a connected SV-BAT-320 enables the
display to keep track of time. Displays that are not connected to a battery must obtain current
time from a GPS source whenever they are turned on.
Serial Devices
Serial communication to non-Dynon devices and interfacing of other devices in general can be
involved and detailed. This installation guide is intended to provide general installation advice
for the most common devices and situations. Dynon’s Documentation Wiki provides additional
technical information at http://wiki.dynonavionics.com.
There are five general purpose RS-232 serial ports available for use with compatible equipment
on a SkyView display. Serial port transmit (TX) and receive (RX) wire sets are twisted together.
Connected serial devices must share a common power ground with the SkyView display(s).
Dynon Avionics devices that use RS-232 serial ports for communication include the SV-GPS-250,
SV-XPNDR-261 and-262, and SV-ADSB-470. Devices from other manufacturers that are
commonly used with SkyView include transponders (with serial port inputs), NAV radios such as
