I'm considering a Dynon or other engine monitoring instrument and have what may be a silly question. Is the unit on before starting the engine? I would assume so, given that you'd want to see RPM, oil pressure etc. right away. If so, what protection is there for the unit from power surges. It seems like it would make sense to have it on the avionics master circuit, just like your radios PFD, etc., but then you wouldn't be able to use the monitor until after the start-up. What am I missing?
