SkyView System Installation Guide - Dynon Avionics

21. Appendix E: Serial Data OutputAny of SkyView’s five RS232 serial ports can be configured to output various types of serial datavia SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP. Technical information on theinstallation and connection to the serial ports can be found in the Serial Devices section of theSkyView Installation Guide. To output serial data, you must select either DYNON EMS, DYNONADAHRS, DYNON SYSTEM, DYNON ADAHRS + SYSTEM, DYNON ADAHRS + EMS, or DYNONADAHRS + SYS + EMS, NMEA OUT (BASIC), or NMEA OUT (FULL) as a Serial Out device, select abaud rate, and connect the serial port to an external serial device such as a PC. The serial datacan be logged using any standard serial terminal program, a data logger program, or dedicateddata logger device. All numbers are output in decimal except where noted and are standardASCII. To view the data using a terminal program, that program should be configured to receivedata in the following format: Baud rate: Set baud rate to match the baud rate selected on SkyView’s serial port Data: 8 bit Parity: none Stop: 1 bit Flow control: noneMultiple SkyView display systems: SkyView’s serial ports are designed in a waythat allows serial transmission to continue, uninterrupted, as long as at least oneSkyView display is operational. SkyView accomplishes this by only transmittingfrom exactly one display’s serial ports in a multi-display system. SkyView manageswhich display is the “actual transmitter” automatically to avoid serial portconflicts. However, the display that transmits is not user-selectable. Therefore, forreliable serial reception in multi-display systems, a SkyView serial data output wireshould be wired from each display, in parallel, to the external serial device that isbeing used to capture SkyView’s serial data. Then, the serial port employed in alldisplays (it is useful to use the same serial port on each display for ease of setup)should be set to output the format desired. If the serial outputs are not configuredin this fashion, serial data will not be seen by your external serial device at alltimes.SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision O 21-1
