Data update question

[S20Raven]

The last plane I built had two Skyview 10" touch screens. The plane I have now has two of the SV-D1000 screens.
When I updated the touch screens I always plugged the jumpdrive in the left hand screen and it would automatically update the right hand screen.

I found that with the DV-D1000 screens, I have to update them individually.
They seem to talk to each other fine in all other respects (swapping screens, etc).

The only caveat that I can add to this, is that after downloading the U.S. Only Quick Update Package, I have to also reload an Engine Sensor Configuration file (.SFG) that gets wiped out by the Update Package. No biggy because I keep that file on the jumpdrive I use.

Any ideas on this, or is that just the way the SV-D1000's work?

Thanks,

ECG

They work the same. The database synchronization is enabled by connecting the ethernet ports between the displays, so check into whether or not they're connected. Also note that that only enables syncing of the databases. Software updates are always done via their own USB port.

Thanks for the reply. I had a chance to look today and there is no Ethernet cable between the two Skyview’s.
Can I just use one from my junk computer cable drawer or does it need to come from Dynon?

Depends on whether you are concerned about aircraft standards for wires in high temp situations, like electrical fire. Electronically, your Skyview screens will function with any decent quality Ethernet cable. If it is a type certificated aircraft then you have to have aircraft quality cable.

Great, thanks.
I'm experimental, but I like to leave odds in my favor when I can. I'll buy from Dynon.
Thanks again.
