VFR
Press to quickly tune the VFR squawk code. This is usually 1200 in the US and 7000 in Europe.
Refer to the Installation Guide to set the VFR code that this button tunes. Once pressed, the
VFR button will remain highlighted until the transponder code is changed to show that you are
in VFR mode. Press the button while VFR is highlighted to return the transponder to the last
code tuned.
IDENT
Press to ident when requested to “ident” by ATC. “
IDT
”
will be displayed in the Transponder
Status Area for the next 18 seconds as the transponder sends the ident signal. Note that if a
button is pressed to change the transponder mode or to turn it off, that action will be delayed
until the ident transmission completes.
Reported Pressure Altitude
At times it may be useful to know the altitude that is being reported to the transponder. Since
SkyView SE sends pressure altitude to the SV-XPNDR-261/262, setting BARO to 29.92 will
display the pressure altitude being transmitted to the transponder in the normal SkyView SE
altitude display on the PFD page.
ADS-B OUT Transmissions
If SkyView SE has a valid GPS signal and a SV-XPNDR-261/262 module is installed and working, it
automatically provides ADS-B output at the appropriate integrity level for the GPS signal being
used.
ADS-B OUT transmissions that meet the 2020 FAA ADS-B equipment mandate require that a
compliant GPS be provided to a capable ADS-B device (such as the SV-XPNDR-261). For this
purpose, a dedicated serial input is provided on the SV-XPNDR-261/262 module that allows an
appropriate GPS receiver serial output to be connected directly to the SV-XPNDR-261/262.
When an SV-XPNDR-261 is connected to a suitable GPS source
