With my Garmin's I have to set the Baro each flight, so the Avidyne traffic displayed will show the correct altitude. Would I need to do this with IFD540's as well and if so, how do I reset the Baro?

No need to set Baro on the Avidyne boxes. Traffic always displays at the proper altitude.

Related query: On my AXP340 the pressure altitude readout never matches my altimeter. Do I need to input baro to correct this? ... or am I missing something here (or am I making Forest Gump look like a genius)?

Are you setting the altimeter to 29.92 when comparing? My altimeter and AXP340 do agree, which really means my Sandia SAE5-35 encoder and altimeter agree :)
