Forgive me if these questions have been asked but I haven't been able to find the answers here...
Two quick questions--
--I would like to install the seven inch skyview system in my panel but I'm concerned about the readibility of the characters (particularly airspeed and altitude) if the air is not completely smooth. Is there any way to configure (increase)the font size?

--Are the prebuilt system cables terminated on both ends? The sub d connectors will not fit through the normal 5/8" grommets frequently used to pass cabling through bulkheads, ribs, etc.

The 7" display altitude and airspeed numbers are easy to read. Some smaller items like rate of climb are tough for my old eyes on a bumpy day. The font size is not adjustable.
Look at the pictures of Skyview Network Cables and you will see most cables have both ends assembled. The 10, 15, and 20' cables have one end only. I think they have the pins already on the wire ends waiting to be threaded through holes the assembled into the D sub connector. The Servo cable has neither end assembled.
