VP-X Operation
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 software license for the VP-X features within
SkyView.
VP-X 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.
Information about purchasing a license, installing a VP-X license on a SkyView system, and
configuring SkyView to properly interface with the VP-X can be found by referencing BOTH the
Dynon SkyView System Installation Guide and the Vertical Power VP-X manuals.
