DashDAQ Setup Menu 

This section describes the setup menu. 

4.1

 

Installed Devices

 

The Installed Devices section of the setup menu is 
what  makes  DashDAQ  truly  unique.  Software 
drivers  are  written  by  Drew  Technologies  so  that 
third  party  devices  like  Innovate  Motorsports, 
Blackline GPS, and PLX Devices can be connected 
to  DashDAQ.  Other  drivers  are  available  that  can 
calculate 

real-time 

vehicle 

statistics 

like 

horsepower and torque.   
 

 

Every connection type has a driver that is specified 
in  the  Installed  Devices  setup  option.  OBDII, 
analog,  and  third  party  accessories  are  specified 
for use here. After a particular driver is loaded, the 
signal/s that are specified in the driver will show up 
in  the  signal  selection  screen  when  you  tap  on  a 
gauge.  
 
Here is an example of setting up the drivers for an 
Innovate LC-1 wideband oxygen sensor: 
 

1.  Tap [Setup] from the Main Menu. 
2.  Navigate to the Installed Devices setup option 

by  tapping  [<]  or  [>].  Notice  that  the  drivers 
are organized by letter (a, b, c, etc). 

 

 

30 

3.  Tap on a blank space that corresponds to the  

letter you would like the driver assigned to. 

 

 

 

4.  Tap [Change]. This screen appears: 

 

 

 

5.  Tap [Driver].
