How to Manually Adjust the Backlight Brightness or Dim Level
SkyView SE
’s display
backlighting is controlled by its ambient light sensor to actively adjust the
brightness based on the current lighting conditions in the cockpit. The brightness is
synchronized across multiple displays and SkyView network panel mounted modules (COM
Radio and Knob Control Panel). SkyView will not dim the display to a level that would cause it to
be illegible for the ambient lighting conditions.
If however, you find that the displays are too bright or not bright enough for you, you can
adjust the default brightness values by going to the BRIGHTNESS SETUP menu in System Setup.
See the SkyView / SkyView SE System Installation Guide for further information about the
brightness settings.
