Programming and Operation Using the Dash Buttons
After installation the first thing you should do is configure the setup parameters. Although the factory
defaults will work fine for most users, you should run through the configuration setup and adjust the engine
rpm pulses per revolution, EGT warning levels and speedometer calibration. There are two methods that
can be used to configure the dash. The first method uses the buttons on the front of the dash. Using this
method you can program the basic features required for most users. However, if you would like to add a
fourth display set or reconfigure any of the factory default display sets you must use the second method,
which is the DataLink PC software. Instructions for using both methods is describe below in this chapter.
How the Buttons Work:
Each button can perform three different functions depending on how long the button is held down. In this
manual we will refer to the three different button press types as SHORT, MED and LONG. To help
determine when to release the button, and as a result the type of button press, you need to look at the
warning indicators in the upper corners of the dash. If you release the button after one flash a SHORT
button press will be entered. Releasing the button after two flashes will result in a MED button press and
three flashes will result in a LONG button press. Table 1 list the three different button press types.
Type Warning Flashes Time in Seconds
SHORT 1 Less than 2
MED 2 2
LONG 3 3 or more

Figure 1 illustrates the channel positions and labels the terminology used in this manual to describe each
position on the LCD display. There are six channel positions on the LCD and two indicator lights in each
upper corner. The lower left channel position can display both numbers and letters. The other five
positions can only display numerical values.
