Hobbs and related timers stopped during flight

I love my new Skyview system. I have about 8 hours using the system in my just completed RV-7 without a hitch from either the plane or SV. However, this morning about 1/2 hour into the flight (during cruise) my hobbs /tach/trip run/flt trip timers stopped running, and the hobbs and tach timers reset to the value from the previous flight (i.e. same as before engine start for this flight). After about 10 minutes they started running again, but obviously with the hobbs and tach starting from the reset value. Didn't see any fluctuations in oil pressure or other engine parameters. Any ideas?

Not really, honestly. If you didn't have RPM, tach would stop, and if you didn't have oil pressure, hobbs and other timers would stop.

SkyView saves information every few minutes, and it's possible that somehow one of those saves didn't happen correctly. I'd keep an eye on it and see if it happens again.

Thanks for the reply. I will continue to monitor.
