2. Select the Automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box if automatic compensation
for daylight savings time is desired.
3. Click the Send Settings to DGC button to set the DGC-500 real-time clock with the PC's time and
date.
The DGC-500 real-time clock settings can be viewed and verified by clicking the Display DGC Settings
button.
PROGRAMMABLE SENDERS
Click Configure on the menu bar and click Programmable Senders to access the Programmable
Senders screen.
The Programmable Senders screen has three tabs: Coolant Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Percent Fuel
Level. Because the setting fields and buttons of each tab are so similar, only the Coolant Temperature tab
settings are described here.
The Coolant Temperature tab settings of the Programmable Senders screen are shown in Figure 4-23.
Each tab setting is described in the following paragraphs.
Get Cool. Data From DGC. If communication with a DGC-500 is enabled, clicking this button retrieves the
sender data points from the DGC-500 and refreshes the graph.
Send Cool. Data to DGC. Clicking this button sends the displayed data points to the DGC-500.
Load Cool. Settings File. Clicking this button displays an Open dialog box where a sender file containing
sender data points can be retrieved. Some standard data point files for the three senders are included
with BESTCOMS. Coolant temperature sender files have a CS5 extension, oil pressure sender files have
an OS5 extension, and fuel level sender files have an FS5 extension.
Create Cool. Settings File. Clicking this button displays a Save As dialog box where the transducer data
points created in BESTCOMS can be saved in a sender file. While it is possible to create individual
sender files for each transducer, it is not necessary. The data for all three senders is automatically saved
with the DGC-500 configuration file. The
Settings Files sub-section contains information about creating
DGC-500 configuration files.
Resistance. The 11 resistance points in this column are not adjustable. The DGC-500 has been factory
calibrated at these points to maximize accuracy.
Degrees F/Degrees C. Temperature values entered in this column must always maintain a descending
order. If English units are used, adjacent coolant temperature points must be separated by at least 2
°
F. If
metric units are used, adjacent oil pressure points must be separated by at least 7 kilopascals. The
coolant temperature setting range is 32 to 400
°
F or 0 to 240
°
C. The oil pressure setting range is 0 to
250 psi or 0 to 1,725 kilopascals. The fuel level setting range is 0 to 100 percent.
