Speedometer Menu
Speedometer Type
This setting should be set to the make of the vehicle. If the vehicle
make is not available, use the Custom setting.
Pulses/Unit Distance
Use this setting to enter the number of pulses per unit distance output
from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the vehicle (see the vehicle’s
Modifier Guide for the proper value, or use Automatic Calibration).
The unit distance is typically miles but can vary depending on vehicle.
Input Waveform
Enter the waveform type that is output from the VSS.
Automatic Calibration
If the correct Speedometer Type is not listed, or if the Pulses/Unit
Distance is not known, then use Automatic Calibration to configure
these options. To automatically calibrate the recorded speed of the
vehicle, select this option and follow the on screen instructions:
“Maintain Constant Speed of 60 and Press SELECT To Begin” (60 is
in MPH or KPH and SELECT is the ZOOM/2 button).
Radar Patrol Speed
This is the vehicle’s speed as read from the radar interface via an
optional radar interface cable attached to DVM’s interface box. Radar
Patrol Speed can be used to verify that attached radar equipment is
communicating with the DVM.
Calculated Speed
The DVM will calculate vehicle speed based on the number of pulses
received from the vehicle’s VSS.
Pulses per Second
Pulses received from the vehicle’s VSS. This can be used to verify that
the DVM is communicating with the vehicle’s VSS.
