Opening the G2X_ConfigBoat for Use
The DatalinkII software is designed to automatically open the automotive related G2X_Config file, at
startup. To enable the G2X_ConfigBoat file to automatically open at the startup of the DatalinkII
program:
1. Open the DatalinkII program
2. Place the mouse cursor over the G2X_Config file tab and left click
3. Close the G2X_Config file by selecting the
red folder
located in the vertical icon column
on the left side of the DatalinkII screen
Next, select File, then Open Car Configuration from the Main Menu command. The user will be
presented with the Select Configuration dialog window:
1. Select G2X from the left column
2. Select G2X_ConfigBoat from the right column
3. Select OK
At this time, the G2X_ConfigBoat will now be in view. To set as the default config file (automatically
opens with DatalinkII):
1. Select File
2. Select Default Configuration
This action will place a check next to Default Configuration.
The G2X_ConfigBoat is now ready for the user to input prop data relative to boat in order to obtain prop
slip and speed, upon downloading of data.
The G2X_ConfigBoat is the “template” for incoming, downloaded data. Remembering this, if a prop or
gearing change is made, take the time to change the prop information within the configuration file
before
the run. Failure to do so will result in erroneous prop slip and prop speed data and require the
user to manually change the prop data in each runfile, until the configuration file is updated. The
configuration file can only affect data that has not been downloaded. Any run data that is already in the
users PC will have to be manually corrected.
