Hotkeys

Dynon provides a Hotkey function for those pilots who wish to more rapidly and conveniently switch between key monitoring pages and or other instrument functions. Hotkeys provide a secondary method in addition to the softkey menus to facilitate more immediate access to the desired page or function. The Hotkey capability is initially activated in the setup process as a higher level function should the pilot so desire.

Two dedicated Hotkeys are available for:

Rapid Page Switching
Pressing the furthest left key sequentially switches between the System Overview Page, Auxiliary Monitor and Fuel Computer Pages. These three pages are considered those most frequently visited in flight.

Instrument Function Switching
Pressing the furthest right button automatically switches the display to other Dynon instruments like the EFIS series if connected. This is initially limited to a single EFIS instrument but will expand in the future to all Dynon instruments with the Dynon Smart Avionics Bus (DSAB).

Note: Switching the EMS-D10 over to display the Dynon EFIS provides a very affordable and convenient way in which to supply the copilot with a flight instrument. It does not provide a completely redundant EFIS instrument as it fully depends upon the EFIS instrument/electronics to be operational and continue outputting data which the EMS-D10 can read and display.

While the EMS-D10 may display the EFIS screen it does not forward control and editing functionality which all remain within the actual EFIS instrument.
