DASH3 FAQs

What type of LCD does the DASH3 use?

The DASH3 uses a "transflective" monochrome graphics LCD. "Transflective" means that any light that hits the display is reflected from its back. This means that it can be read clearly even in direct sunlight. We use a graphics type LCD to allow a range of font sizes, as well as graphs, barcharts and bitmaps to be displayed

Can I use the DASH3 at night?

Yes. The DASH3 is backlit and the LEDs are dimmable so they are not too bright for night time use.

Can the DASH3 be used as a standalone display?

The DASH3 accepts data either from one of our data loggers or from an ECU interface.  it cannot be used as a fully standalong display in the way that the DASH2 can

Can I use the DASH3 with my optical beacon?

No. The DASH3 is designed for use with the GPS system that is built into our data logging products.

Is the DASH3 waterproof?

Yes. The DASH3 is a fully sealed unit.

Can the DASH3 display predictive lap times?

Yes. The DASH3 can calculate and display lap and sector times in a number of common formats.

What are predictive lap times?

Predictive lap times are estimates of your lap time that are calculated before you finish the lap.... i.e. they will give an estimate of what your lap time will be if you complete the lap that you are currently driving, by driving the remainder of the lap at your fastest time for each of the remaining sectors.

How do I mount the DASH3?

The DASH3 can be mounted using double sided tape directly onto a flat surface in the vehicle, or using the four blind holes in the sides of the case for screw mounting, or with the optional suction mount.  The suction mount screws into a threaded boss moulded into the rear of the DASH3 case and is available to order as an optional extra from Race Technology.

How does the DASH3 connect to a data logger?

The DASH3 receives data from a DL1, DL2 or ECU interface by a simple serial connection.  A 1m cable is fitted to the DASH3, terminated with a 9-way d-type connector, which plugs onto the data logger or ECU interface.
