Transponder Mode: Displays the current operating mode and status of the transponder.
Modes in which the transponder will reply to interrogations are colored green, while
other modes, such as standby and errors, are in yellow or red. The different modes
possible include:
a.
SBY: The transponder is on, but will not reply to any interrogations. This is the
mode that the transponder is in when none of the modes below are active.
b.
GND: The transponder will only reply to direct Mode S interrogations using the
specific ICAO address from surface movement radar. It will not reply to mode A,
C and Mode S all-call interrogations.
c.
AUTO (replaces GND, above): Available when the transponder is configured to
automatically switch between ALT/GND automatically (see the SkyView /
SkyView SE System Installation Guide for details). When AUTO is selected, the
transponder will automatically switch between ALT and GND modes - reflected
in the transponder status in the top bar
–
using a combination of GPS and air
data changes.
d.
ON: The transponder will respond to all interrogations, but altitude reporting is
suppressed.
e.
ALT: The transponder will respond to all interrogations.
f.
IDT: Displayed while the transponder is broadcasting an ident after the IDENT

.

with the transponder itself or in the communication between the transponder
module and SkyView SE. The transponder is not responding to interrogations.
Check the wiring and settings between the transponder module and SkyView SE
if you are authorized to maintain your aircraft. Contact Dynon Technical Support
for further assistance.

Reply Status: The reply indicator illuminates when the transponder replies to
interrogations.
When connected properly, third party transponders such as the Garmin GTX 330
and GTX 327 can provide status as described above. However, they cannot be
controlled from the SkyView SE display as the SV-XPNDR-261/262 can.
