19  

Min – Max Recall Mode 

The min – max recall mode displays the minimum and maximum reading on all channels since the dash 

was turned on or the min – max values have been manually cleared.  The dash does not need to be in 

Record mode for the min-max values to update.  To display the minimum values enter a SHORT press on 

the 

 button.  The word 

MIN

 will be displayed under the swept tach.  To display the maximum values 

enter a SHORT press again on the 

 button.  The word 

MAX

 will be displayed under the swept tach.  

While you are in min – max mode you may change displays or enter in to scroll mode to see additional 

channels if needed.  To return to Real-time mode and exit min – max mode, again enter a SHORT press on 

the 

 button.  The work 

PLAY

 will appear.  This puts you in Playback mode which we will discuss in 

the next section.  Again enter a SHORT press on the 

 button to return to Real-time mode.  

To clear the minimum and maximum values enter a LONG press on the 

 button in any mode except 

Setup mode. 

 

Record  Mode 

The Ultra Dash has up to10 minutes of record time.  While in record mode all channels except the warning 

indicators will be recorded.   After a recording you may playback the data on the dash or download it to our 

optional DataLink PC software.  Recorded data will remain in memory, even if the dash is turned off,  for 

up to 2 days or until a new recording has been made.  To enter Record Mode, press and hold the remote 

switch button until the word 

REC

 is displayed below the swept tach position.  To exit Record, mode enter 

three consecutive SHORT button presses on the 

 button.

 

Playback Mode 

Playback mode allows you to playback recorded data on the dash.  To enter Playback mode, enter a 

SHORT press on the 

 button while in Real-time mode.  This will put you in Min mode. Enter a second 

SHORT press on the 

 button to enter Max mode.  Enter a third SHORT press on the 

 button to 

enter Playback mode.  The word 

PLAY

 will display under the swept tach to indicate you are in Playback 

mode.  Once in Playback mode use the 

 and 

 buttons to move forward and backward in time 

according to the table below.
