Dynon (Networked) setup

[WABez]

:-[  Assume I have a Dynon D100 as my PFD EFIS, and using a Dynon D10A as my backup EFIS, linked via the DSAB bus. If I now set the barometric setting in either one (typically in the D100 as it is the PFD), would that value then be updated in the other EFIS (i.e. the D10A via the DSAB bus) OR must I manually update both devices to have the same barometric reading?

As far as I know, no. The two will not share baro settings.

I originally had a D100/D120 combo but added a D10A when my TruTrak ADI kept failing. Unless I missed something in the setup, and despite them being tied to the DSAB, the baro settings remain independent.

Today you must manually update both. In a few months a software update will network them and then you will only need to update it on one unit.

The next software update (in about a month) will automatically set the Baro to the last known elevation on shutdown, so hopefully baro adjustments don't need to be large.
