Ok, so I assigned on the serial tab the serial line going to the cockpit instrument to the NMEA output - sadly the temp still doesn't show up. Any way to debug this flow?
Yesterday night I desperately tried another converter, and there the temp showed up on the display. this is quite astonishing, as I used a high quality converter-cable for the cockpit instrument, not a cheap one... but the cheap one works ...
Only question that pops up is whether the voltage level generated when the signal comes from SK is less then that of the kplexed signals from other serial sources? But I don't have a oscilloscope to check so this will probably rest one of the mysteries of electronics ...
