13. Vertical Power VP-X Integration and Configuration

Dynon SkyView can interface with the Vertical Power VP-X System to provide robust monitoring

and control of your electrical system via your SkyView system. In order to use this feature, a

Vertical Power VP-X system is required, along with a software license for the VP-X features

within SkyView.

For full VP-X functionality, VP-X requires information from the EMS. VP-X

information is displayed in the EMS window of SkyView. Thus, if an SV-EMS-220 or

SV-EMS-221 is not installed in your SkyView system, VP-X information cannot be

displayed.

License Information

The VP-X software features are enabled on Dynon SkyView by purchasing a VP-X license code

from Dynon Avionics and entering it into your SkyView system. Only one VP-X license is needed

in a SkyView system, no matter how many displays are attached. That license is applied to only

one display, but that display stores the license information for the entire system. In normal use,

license information is shared with all displays connected via SkyView Network to allow the VP-X

features to be operated on any display in the system.

Checking License Status

To check whether a SkyView system is licensed to use the VP-X software features, go to SETUP

MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE, and look at the status of the Vertical Power line.

Possible license statuses include:

 LICENSED (THIS DISPLAY): The SkyView system is licensed to enable the use of the Vertical

Power software features. This display stores the license information and also allows other

displays in the aircraft to access the Vertical Power features.

 LICENSED - CONNECTED DISPLAY ONLINE: The SkyView system is licensed to use the Vertical

Power software features. This display is currently connected to a licensed display.

 LICENSED DISPLAY OFFLINE - XX HOURS REMAIN The SkyView system is licensed to use the

Vertical Power software features. However, the display that actually stores the license

information is not currently connected. When this happens, the Vertical Power software

features will continue to be accessible for 30 flight hours beyond when it last saw the

licensed display in the aircraft. Once the licensed display is seen again, this timer is cleared.

 NO LICENSE: No display in the SkyView system is licensed to use the Vertical Power

features.
