1 Introduction
This document provides guidance to correctly configure the SkyView HDX system when installed
in a Cessna 172F-S model aircraft.
This document assumes that SkyView and its components have been wired in accordance with
document 103488-000 Wiring Diagram, Typical HDX Dual Display.
Dynon provides an associated configuration file which should be loaded before beginning the
configuration process. These files are available for download. Choose the one best for your
aircraft:
103527-000 - SkyView HDX System Configuration - Cessna 172F-Q.dfg
103527-000 - SkyView HDX System Configuration - Cessna 172R-S.dfg
These files, when loaded in an airplane equipped with the Dynon SkyView HDX system, will:
•Configure all sensors to the factory delivered values appropriate for the Cessna 172. Edits
may be required for airplanes modified with other engines. This would be accomplished
manually using the Screen Layout Editor menu.
•Locate all widgets in the EMS Bottom Band and 50% display to match the FAA Human
Factors assessed layout. This would be otherwise accomplished manually using the
Screen Layout Editor menu.
•Configure the optional autopilot servos with the FAA approved values. This would
manually be accomplished using the Autopilot Setup menu. Do not be concerned about
loading this file if you do not have an autopilot installed, loading these values will not
cause any harm.
Load the configuration file before you begin the configuration described in this manual. This will
reduce the effort required.
The configuration manual and data file assume that the airplane is as delivered by the
manufacturer and has not been modified in any way. Any system or performance differences will
need to be manually configured after the configuration file has been loaded.
The configuration file can be downloaded to a USB drive and then loaded into SkyView following
the guidance provided in Section Error! Reference source not found..
Where specific configuration selections or entries are required for certification, complete
instructions will be provided. The remaining configuration opportunities are considered
owner/operator-controlled options. Installers may need to consult with the owner/operator in
order to make the correct configuration selections.

2 System Software
The System Software menu does not have any settings requiring configuration, but Dynon does
provide configurations files that can be loaded into SkyView using the System Software menu.
These files will accomplish much of the systems configuration settings covered by this manual.
These files can be downloaded to a USB drive and then loaded onto SkyView using the LOAD
FILES wizard.
The Systems Software menu will not be active unless a USB Drive is mounted to the display
USB port.
The SYSTEM SOFTWARE 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 assettings 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.
•EXPORT USER DATA LOGS –Use this wizard to export user data logs in human-
readable CSV format.
•EXPORT USER WAYPOINTS –Use this wizard to export 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 personnel; there is no data in it that can be interpreted by SkyView
pilots. Dynon Avionics Technical Support may request this log during 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

3 Configuring SkyView HDX using the Setup Menu System
The following is an overview of each of the system configuration menus, their sub-menus, and
the information that must be selected or inputted to match the certificated configuration.
3.1 SETUP Menu Entry
The SkyView HDX Display features a row of eight buttons across the bottom below the screen.
These buttons are numbered 1-8 from left to right. Knobs are provided to allowscrolling vertically
or horizontally as appropriate for the menu. In addition, the knobs can be pushed to make
selections. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Display Controls and Control Labels
Simultaneously pressing and holding buttons 7 and 8 will open one of the setup menus. There
are two setup menus: The Setup Menu and the In-Flight Setup Menu. If the airspeed is zero,
the Setup Menu will open. If the airspeed is greater than zero, the In-Flight Setup Menu will
open.
You may also access the Setup Menu from the In-Flight Setup Menu by using the ENTER FULL
SCREEN SETUP MENU option.
3.2 SETUP Menu
The setup menu provides access to the following system configuration menus:
•SYSTEM SOFTWARE
•SYSTEM SETUP •LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP •PFD SETUP

•EMS SETUP
•MAP SETUP
•AUTOPILOT SETUP
•TRANSPONDER SETUP
•TRAFFIC SETUP
•ADS-B STATUS
•COM RADIO SETUP
•HARDWARE CALIBRATION
When a setting within one of the setup menus or sub-menus are changed in a SkyView display,
the change is synchronized to other SkyView displays, when installed. It is not necessary to
make the change in every display.
3.2.1 System Setup Menu Configuration
The System Setup menu contains menus and pages related to the entire SkyView system. The
following list of menus can be found in System Setup:
•SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP
•WI-FI SETUP
•SERIAL PORT SETUP
•AUDIO SETUP
•AIRCRAFT INFORMATION
•MEASUREMENT UNITS
•TIME
•ARINC-429
•SCREEN LAYOUT SETUP
•PRIMARY COM
•DISPLAY COM IN TOP BAR
•DATA LOG SETUP
The very first thing that requires configuration is the insertion of the aircraft’s registration number.
This is accomplished using the Aircraft Information menu. Refer to Section 3.2.6
Some of these menus have specific configuration requirements, while others have optional
configurations that can be set to an individual preference, and other menus simply display
information. The sections thatfollow will provide an overview of the information and configuration
options contained within the menus, unless the menu has specific requirements. If specific
configurations are required, instructions on how to configure the menu will be included.
3.2.2 SkyView Network Setup Menu
Enter this menu to configure your SkyView network or to check on network status (i.e., display
important SkyView module information).
Any time a SkyView Network Module is added, replaced with another of the same type, or
removed from the SkyView network, the network must be configured. This menu allows you to
access the following pages:
•Networks Status –This page provides a list of all the connected SkyView modules by
model name. it also provides the serial number for each module, as well as the status of
each module.
