Vertical Power "offline"

[RV7Ron]

I have a VP-X coupled with a 10” SkyView. I successfully ‘found’ the Vertical power unit on the serial port (showing incoming and outgoing packets) and the vertical power setup page comes up on the SkyView.

However, when I go to the “engine” page on the SkyView and push the Vertical Power button to display the information on the screen it says “VP-X offline”. Any thoughts quickly come to mind? Or should I start tracing wires?

Have you installed the license?

Off the top of my head, I don't think you'll even see the VP-X button if you don't have the license installed. So I don't think that's it.

In addition to the packets, is the good sentences counter ticking up?

Thanks for the responses gentlemen. Chalk this one up to another one of my boneheaded wiring mistakes. It turns out, I really wasn't receiving packets like I thought I was. A quick check of my wiring revealed that I had wired Rx-Rx and Tx-Tx, instead of the correct configuration of Rx-Tx. Flipped those around and all is working perfectly. Ask me how many times I've made that rookie mistake?  :-[
