Much faster to load configs through the DL1 then the serial port....


Do you mean via the USB ?...as the SD card will not load a config up to the dash2 !

Yes, i take your point on the sensor corruption... Also i could not get the Dash to accept a config via the SD card insertion technique in the DL1. I had to go through the serial port...a real pita as my laptop does not have a serial port. Had to rig up an old desktop in the garage...lol deep joy. E...

Osbourni, A question on the OEM BMW 3 Series Bosch Water and Oil Temp sensors 2 wire NTC type. Like i did with the fuel sender :- Is it a case of generating a table of 25 i/o's for the x y figures from a Cold Engine all the way up Maximum Coolant/Oil Temps using an accurate method of establishing th...

Re: Entering data in tables and custom formula

Would it better in the enter an equation manually tab please can you advise what data goes in the 4 fields ? there is no mention of the y axis ?/ Output = (what data goes in here ?) x Input 3 + (what data goes in here ?) x Input 2 + (what data goes in here ?) x Input + then final box here ? any tho...

osborni, I cannot work out how to input the data to cal to the TPS input i have put into Analogue 1 on the DL1-3 Logger !! ... Done this :- You wired in the TPS - the sensor is already there (on top of the throttle body) and basically free. If I remember, it's the #2 wire (middle wire) that is the s...

I 've tested the sensor on a calibrated bench power supply and it gives a steady 0.5v in "free air"... regardless of the input voltage between +10v -+15v. I will fit it and see what kind of results i get .. (i'm not sure if it only goes ratio metric when pressure is applied to the sensor) ...

Hi, Thanks for info, the sensor is ratio metric and needs exactly +12v supply (not the potential 13. 6 -14.4v from the car supply !!)...is there a +12v reference output i can use from the DL1 or Dash 2 pins ? I have looked at the pinout and there are some unspecified pins, Do you know their function...

Getting along with the config but have a question, fitting an oil pressure sensor with the following spec. 3 Wire sensor -0v, +12v input and +V Output range is :- 0 Bar = .5 volt 7.5Bar = 2.5 volt 15 Bar = 4.5 volt Now i can enter those three values in the "Generate by table, by the X Y excel t...

Thanks Osborni , Good solid advice will pull my finger out and get on it ...on the rpm i noticed the rpm was reading high on the initial start up . i will try the change in pulse to revolution .. :) , i 'll be in touch once i've got some knowledge of the config.

cheers for the advice spot on

TPS ...No good idea...I haven't but will do now, where did you get the spare terminals for the DL1 multiplug ?....as this is a voltage in and i have used all the analogue inputs up on Dash2 i will put it as an input direct to DL1 ...make sense ? I have a one switch that turns both the DL1 & Dash...

Hi, No I have Dash2 & logger DL1 Ref this . .2) From the Dash2 ... (not quite sure as I've only used the lite monitor from a DL1 - but likely either analog 1-4 or analog 17-20 - the later is what the DL1 uses for Dash2 analog channels) - but then I might be thinking about your setup wrong. 1). A...
