Configuration
The configuration of the SDL determines exactly how it operates.
The strength of the SDL lies in its flexibility of configuration. All aspects of the
SDL can be configured including, which sensor is connected to which input,
the calibration of each sensor, what to display and where to display it, what to
log and how fast to log it, tacho range, warning alarms, multi stage shift lights,
etc, etc.
Configuration Files
The SDL configurations are stored in files on the PC hard disk and can be
sent to the SDL at any time.
When changing the configuration, changes are only made to the file on the
PC. The file must be sent to the SDL before the changes take affect.
Creating a New Configuration File
A new configuration file can be created by selecting File | New from the main
menu, this will create a new configuration based on one of a number of
predefined templates.
After a new configuration has been defined, it should be saved with a
meaningful name by selecting
File | Save from the main menu, the file may
then be sent to the SDL by selecting Online | Send Configuration from the
main menu.
Alternatively a new file can be created by loading an existing configuration file
and saving it to a new file by selecting
File | Save As from the main menu.
Opening an Existing File
Before an existing configuration file can be modified or sent to the SDL it must
first be opened.
To open a configuration file select File | Open from the main menu and select
the desired file.
