Each of the 7 gauge pages can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, advancing to the next page will skip over the disabled
page. This is true for both manually advancing the displayed page or via the Auto Page feature.
NOTE

Page Refresh Time
Min Default
Max
Page Refresh rate
0.3 seconds 1.0 second 2 seconds
Sets the display refresh time. Each time the display is refreshed, UltraGauge reads parameters from the vehicle’s computer
(ECM) and updates the displayed gauges. As the time is reduced, UltraGauge consumes more bus bandwidth requesting and
transferring data. As a result this setting should be used with caution. In many vehicles the OBDII port is connected to a
vehicle wide information bus. This bus is used by various vehicle modules to communicate. There is a finite bandwidth on the
bus and setting the refresh time smaller and smaller will consume more and more bandwidth to the point that it could impair
regular bus communication between system modules. This is especially true for 9141 and KWP2000 protocols, and to a lesser
degree J1850 and Ford Protocols. The CAN protocol has considerably more bandwidth than early protocols, however, there is
a good deal more communication on CAN equipped vehicles.
When reducing the refresh time, note any abnormal side effects such as intermittent “Err” being display, the Check Engine Light
becoming illuminated, or impaired engine performance or altered shift points. Should any of these conditions occur, increase
the Page Refresh time until the issue no longer occurs.
Vehicles with the 9141 and KWP2000 protocols should run “KWP/9141 optimizer” before changing the Page Refresh Time.

Auto Page Advance
Enables or disables the Auto Page Advance feature. UltraGauge can display seven pages of gauges. Auto page Advance cycles
through pages at programmable intervals in order of increasing page number. When the last page is reached, UltraGauge
advances back to the first page. The interval can be set from 1 to 255 seconds
*
, and each page can be programmed with a unique
value. For example, page 1 could be set to display for 10 seconds
*
, and page 2 could be set to display for 20 seconds
*
. Pages
which have been disabled will not be displayed.
Pressing the “DOWN” key while auto-page is enabled, will cause the auto page feature to pause at the current page. Pressing
“DOWN” again will resume auto-page advance

NOTE:
While the value is set in terms of seconds, the units are actually the time at which the display is refreshed.
For example, when the Page refresh time is set to the default of 1.0 seconds, then this setting is in terms of seconds.
If the refresh time is reduced to 0.5 seconds, then this settings is in terms of ½ seconds. For example, if the Auto Page Advance
was set to 20, and the Refresh Time was set to 0.5 seconds, the page would advance after 10 seconds.
