Go to the ARINC-429 SETUP under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > ARINC-429.
SkyView supports up to two SV-ARINC-429 modules, but since most aircraft will only have one
installed, the “MODULE 2” section is normally disabled. If your aircraft does actually have two
SV-ARINC-429 modules, note that the serial numbers of each module are provided so you can
determine which module is which.
For each module, Set INPUT1 to the type of device connected to the SV-ARINC-429’s ARINC-429
RX 1 A and B inputs, any of GPS 1, 2, 3, 4 or NAV 1, 2, 3, 4. Optionally, you can specify a
“friendly” name for each navigation source using the NAVIGATION SOURCE DISP NAME and
specifying up to 7 characters. Examples include “430NAV”, and “430GPS”. If a NAVIGATION
SOURCE DISP NAME is specified, that will be displayed on the HSI. If NAVIGATION SOURCE DISP
NAME is not specified, GPS 1,2,3,4 / NAV 1, 2, 3, 4 will be displayed in the info item next to the
HSI. For IFR GPS navigators, particularly the Garmin GNS and GTN series, it is also used to
describe the device at the top of the Flight Plan window. Note that any GPS/NAV slots that are
highlighted in red are already being used for other devices. Also note that though POS X is a
possible setting, it should generally not be used for ARINC devices.
Next set the INPUT SPEED parameter (HIGH or LOW), based on the output speed of your two
ARINC devices.
The SV-ARINC-429 has one ARINC output channel with 2 sets of pins on the connector for wiring
convenience. If one or both of your ARINC devices can accept commands, configure OUTPUT
SPEED appropriately.
If you have connected a device to ARINC-429 RX 2 A and B, repeat the above configuration for
the INPUT2 parameter; otherwise, leave it set to NONE.
ALLOW AUTO SWITCH: YES (LABEL 100P) / NO: If set to YES (LABEL 100P), SkyView will
automatically change whether data from INPUT1 or INPUT2 will be displayed.
If the source transmits the “100P” label (such as Garmin 430/530/GTN series), SkyView
will automatically switch inputs per the label. This allows the inputs to be remotely
switched by data from the source, either when the CDI is changed, or automatic
transition on approach.
If data is being transmitted to INPUT1, but no data is being transmitted to INPUT2,
INPUT1 will be displayed.
If data is being transmitted to INPUT2, but no data is being transmitted to INPUT1,
INPUT2 will be displayed.
Your ARINC-429 capable GPS and/or NAV will need to be configured appropriately as well.
