    (most of the time) as an encompassing term for “Software”, “OS”, and “app” functions. SkyView Classic, SkyView Touch, SkyView SE, and SkyView HDX SkyView SE is a streamlined, simplified edition of SkyView. Although the two editions are within the same family of products, the two editions cannot interoperate. For example, you cannot install a SkyView SE display (SV-D600 or SV-D900) into an existing SkyView (non-SE) system and vice versa.

    System Planning 9-pin D9F and D9M Connectors are SkyView Network (not RS-232 Serial) SkyView displays and SkyView modules use D9M connectors for “SkyView Network” connections between SkyView displays and SkyView modules . This initially causes some confusion because the same type of connector is used for “RS-232 serial”...

SkyView Network SkyView displays, SkyView modules, and the SV-NET-HUB use Male DSUB 9-pin (henceforth referred to as “D9M”) connectors. SkyView Network cables use Female DSUB 9-pin (henceforth referred to as “D9F”) connectors.
  • Page 33 System Planning SkyView Network Hub (SV-NET-HUB) The SV-NET-HUB SkyView Network hub contains 5 SkyView Network ports. All 5 ports are identical, thus any of the 5 ports can be used to connect to your displays, modules, and/or autopilot servos. Servo power should be broken out, as is normally done.
  • Page 34 System Planning Test SkyView Network Cable SkyView displays are supplied with a test SkyView network cable that is intended for bench top testing only. The test network cable is not built with aircraft-grade Tefzel® wiring and should not be permanently installed in an aircraft. Ethernet Connection SkyView systems that have more than one display should have their Ethernet ports permanently connected together.

    Figure 55 – SV-EMS-220 (SV-EMS-221 is externally identical) SkyView SE supports only one SV-EMS-220 or SV-EMS-221. If your aircraft has dual engines, or more than 7 cylinders (monitoring CHT and EGT for each), SkyView SE is not recommended. Thus, instructions for installation and configuration of a second SV-EMS-220 or SV-EMS-221 in this section is not applicable to a SkyView SE system.

    SV-MAG-236 Installation and Configuration Tail wheel equipped aircraft can be calibrated in their normal nose up ground attitude as long as the SkyView attitude display shows the correct corresponding nose up attitude. A working GPS receiver with a view of the sky to acquire GPS data must be connected to the SkyView system in order to perform a compass calibration.

While the in-flight compass calibration is optional, it will likely improve the dynamic performance of the heading indications in many aircraft.

Flying additional maneuvers incorporating pitch and roll changes will likely improve the in-flight compass calibration. 8. When the quality is as high as you can obtain (above 70, the minimum), push the FINISH button to complete the in-flight compass calibration.
