4. Set serial 1 baud rate to 9600 (SERIAL 1 IN/OUT BAUD RATE: 9600)
5. Set serial 1 output device to ICARUS (100ft) or ICARUS (10ft) (SERIAL 1 OUT DEVICE: ICARUS
(100ft) or ICARUS (10ft).
6. Press BACK or EXIT to save the settings.
Brightness Setup
Enter the Brightness Setup Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > BRIGHTNESS SETUP)
to characterize the display’s backlight behavior. The backlight level can be adjusted manually by
the user, automatically by the display based on ambient light conditions, or by an external
control signal while on the Brightness Setup Page and in normal flight. Regardless of the
specified control method, users always have the option of manually adjusting the backlight level
in the Dim Menu.
Automatic Brightness Management
To set the backlight level so that it automatically adjusts, set BRIGHTNESS SOURCE to INTERNAL
(ZERO OFFSET) or INTERNAL (LAST) depending on whether you want the brightness setting to
reset when SkyView is started, or you want the bright setting from SkyView’s last use to be
used when SkyView is started. When this option is selected, dimming is normally controlled
automatically via ambient light detection, but it can also be controlled manually by using the
DIM Menu. Dynon has created a default dimming profile that should work well in most aircraft.
If you find that this profile does not work well in your installation, it can be customized to suit
your preferences using the tools on the BRIGHTNESS SETUP Menu. This menu displays several
parameters, which are listed and briefly explained below.

LOCAL BRIGHTNESS SENSOR – This is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999 that represents
the amount of light sensed by the display’s integrated light sensor. Use this value to
characterize the ambient light levels in your installation during characterization.

BRIGHTNESS TARGET – This is a percentage ranging from 0% to 100% that represents the
calculated target backlight level based on the sensed ambient light level and the percent
brightness sensor value map. The actual brightness never drops below 20% when the
Brightness Setup Page is displayed, even though the target value may be below 20%.

xx% Brightness Sensor Value – There are four percent brightness sensor values: 25%, 50%,
75% and 100%. These values are correlated to a user-specified brightness sensor value,
which are to the right of the percent value. These percentages along with the minimum
brightness sensor value (explained below) form the calibration points for the backlight
management profile. When the current brightness sensor value matches one of these
points, the target backlight level is adjusted to its matching percentage. When the current
brightness sensor value is in between these points, the display interpolates between the
points and calculates an appropriate target backlight level. These values must be set by the
user.

MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS SENSOR VALUE – This is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999 that
represents the smallest amount of light that is expected to be sensed by the integrated light
sensor. This must be set by the user.

RESET TO DYNON DEFAULTS – (If needed) Use this option to start over.
