Two fuel computer resets at each fill?

It seems kind of a nuisance to have to reset the fuel computer on each of my two Skyview screens every time I add fuel.

Is it designed that way, or have I made a configuration error?  My screens are connected with both ethernet and SV-NET cables. They do however, power up at different times; one with the Master and the other with the Avionics.

I agree, as it is a problem with the 3rd screen being in the back cockpit. Is there a way to make it so the "primary screen" the only one the "fuel change" comes up on?

Hmmm, is the fuel check on start up (just thought of this) on the system or per screen? Going to check this later this week.

I have the same boot up as Russ and I only set the fuel quantity and accept on the one screen (Master) the other screen never asks me for the fuel information after booting up and a fill-up.
I think I had this issue once when I did not "accept" the added fuel on one screen.

SETUP-> SYSTEM SETUP-> AIRCRAFT INFO -> FUEL ADDED DETECT

This should only be set to "YES" on the screen you want to bug you when you add fuel. When you set the fuel on that screen, it will push to all other screens.

We hope to make this a bit better in a future software release, but for now, doing the above will get you what you want.

Thanks Dynon Support, that'll work.  I've been trying to keep both configured the same for simplicity and also not knowing what settings might conflict and cause problems if they aren't.  I'll just make a note on the cover of my installation and user guides for now.
