Down Timer Expiring
Once the TIMER menu is entered, the clock in the top bar displays TIMER information instead of
the local or UTC clock that is normally shown. Leaving the timer menu will restore the clock if a
timer is not running.
To operate the timer once in the TIMER menu:
•
MIN and SEC knobs: Turn to set the time.
•
BACK: Leaves the timer menu and returns you to the Main Menu.
•
ZERO: Resets the timer to zero.
•
LAST: Resets a DOWN timer to the last value it was set to before it was started.
•
DOWN/UP: Toggles the timer mode. Both count-up and count down timers are
available:
o
When a DOWN timer reaches zero, an audible “timer expired” message is played
(if audio output is connected), the timer flashes white for a few seconds, and a
“timer expired” alert is annunciated in the message alert area. Press button 8 to
view and acknowledge this alert. If a DOWN timer is not reset, the timer will
continue to count down negatively.
o
When the UP timer is running, it will stop at 99:59 minutes.
•
RUN: Turns the timer on and off. RUN is highlighted when the timer is on.
Checklists
Checklists are composed on a computer and then transferred to SkyView with a USB flash drive.
Checklists can be composed with any plain ASCII text editor s
uch as the “Notepad” app included
with Windows, or the “TextEdit” app included with Mac OS. Microsoft Word and Windows
WordPad will also work to compose a checklist file if you save the file as a .txt file (plain text
format). For more information how to make and load your own checklists, see the System
Installation Guide.
Checklists are shown on the display as a “list of lists”. The top
-level checklist is a list of all
available checklists.
Accessing a Checklist on your SkyView Display
To access your checklist on a SkyView display, from the main menu, go to the TOOLS menu and
push the CHECKLIST button. Selecting a list (by touch or using the cursor) will bring up the steps
of that list. The lists are nested only one level. Scroll through the list using the cursor.
