AHRS installation/alignment suggestion

I wonder if it would be helpful when the ADAHRS is being installed if the alignment of the ADAHRS could be shown on the Skyview display such as:

tilt left or right in tenth of degrees
compass heading in tenth of degrees,
tilt up or down in tenth of degrees.

Then we would not have to put a smart level on the ADAHRS while aligning the tray to be within one degree of the airplane attitudes.  We could just use the smart level on our airplane and match the AHRS readings to that while shimming/moving the AHRS/mount.  Seems like it could make it easier to do the initial physical mounting/alignment.

It could also be used to double check the physical alignment in the future, like during annuals.

Thank you for the suggestion. The compass heading wouldn't be reliable because it requires a calibration as discussed in the SkyView System Installation Guide, but the display of the tilt angles might be possible. As usual, we can't offer any promises about if / when it might be implemented.
