    High pressure sensor for M14P

    So yeah the question was: "Any idea when Skyview HDX will support more than a single EMS module?" The current manual specifies that only Skyview Classic does this (Installation Guide pg 7-3) but it seems that limitation has been placed on the HDX despite being the new premium product.

    High pressure sensor for M14P

    Support for more than one EMS due to number of cylinders on larger engines (eg radials, etc). The manual, last I read at least, specifically mentioned this is only supported on the SV classic, not the HDX.

    Now is it rude to ask when "big engine" support is coming for the HDX? :)

    Savyanalysis and Dynon

    A "series" is not well explained on the website. I typed in the exact matching abbreviations for the data recorded on my unit and it magically came up with a "popup" list matching all the various "series". Eg "rpm" "oil press" "ff" "fp" "amps" "volts" (without the inverted commas)

    Savyanalysis and Dynon

    "Flight Data" > "My Aircraft" > "Actions" (on right side of the View Aircraft screen) > Unit conversions From that you can select a "series" (ie, the measured parameter you want to convert) and apply the unit conversions to it. Although my experience is that the file uploads in SavvyAnalysis...

    7" HDX Status

    Skyview System Installation Guide Rev Z page 4-11, figure 29. The HDX800 is shown as 7.07 inches tall. Same as the HDX1100 a few pages later! :)

    7" HDX Status

    Why is there quite a significant discrepancy in the 7 in screen between the total vertical dimension of the CAD model and pdf files, and in the HDX manual? There's a small discrepancy in the horizontal dimension too but the vertical one is quite large. I think it might be a misprint from the 10...

    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    Some are happy with it and that's fine. However the rotational asymmetry of an ellipse is not what I expect to see while doing a course intercept or picturing relative bearings in my head particularly when the bit you're looking at is not directly in front. It just deviates slightly from...

    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    So ultimately it does seem to originate from a real estate issue. If you want an interesting read, or want to have a hangar debate about strip versus dial presentation, instrument layout, how a partial compass rose ended up on the bottom of a PFD (blame Boeing), etc, have a look at ("Human...

    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    I think a PFD choice between a full or half compass rose, or a full rose versus a strip, would be a great idea to pencil in for a future software upgrade. There might be practical (or resourcing) reasons why Dynon wouldn't do it but the suggestion can't hurt. But yeah I think the weight of...

    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    I know what you're saying, but in the non experimental world, quite literally millions of instrument hours are flown in glass cockpits without ever looking at a 360 degree HSI on a PFD. It's only a personal opinion - reflected on thousands of glass cockpit displays around the world. Not saying...

    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    I've always felt Dynon would be better off going to a semi-circular compass rose when they're combining it on a PFD screen, which would save PFD real estate and still give more than enough navigation orientation information. However regarding the odd shaped compass, entire human factors...

    SkyView HDX 10" Displays Now Shipping

    http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1478009548/2#2 Yes it is true. See the other topic on this forum. This doesn't surprise me. Dynon say they've made quite a few changes to improve the interface on the screen. Sometimes backwards compatibility has to take a hit if you want progress!

    High pressure sensor for M14P

    I was just thinking about the 1000 psi version of this same sensor: given that the required maximum pressure is < 1000 psi do you see any benefit or otherwise of getting the 1000 psi version versus the 2000 psi version? I think they're both a similar price and aside from the pressure range the...
