As a pilot who sits behind a radial I've noticed Dynon has expanded their Skyview EMS capability to fully monitor larger engines (eg, monitor and display 9 cylinders) and also has the capability to display other sensor inputs outside of the "standard" ones like air pressure, open/closed contacts, etc. GRT also includes these capabilities.

Is this to be included with the AFS 5000 series? I realise the bottom of the main screen is somewhat tight for real estate (though I'm sure another 3 bars might squeeze in for cylinders) however the full page engine display seems to have lots of room to spare for additional sensors.

The Skyview does what I need, but I like your 5000 series displays better!

The M14 radial is has been supported in the AF-5000 series (and AF-4000, AF-3000 as well). Our standard usage assigns our internal engine board to monitor 6 EGT, 6 CHT, and 2 TIT. The M14 reassigns to 9 CHT, 5 EGT, or reverse 9 EGT and 5 CHT. The AF-5000 also has 3 general purpose inputs available per display.

What type of alternative sensors are you looking to support?

Thanks for the reply Shawn. 1000 psi air pressure, and a solenoid valve position (which is either "on" or "off", ie, open or closed). The valve position isn't particularly essential, but the air pressure is. If it can't be monitored I would have to put in a separate gauge.
