How to display time slip on Dash3 using DL1 MK3?
How to display time slip on Dash3 using DL1 MK3?
I am trying to get the Dash3 to display realtime time slip, since this is advertised as a big benefit of having a DL1 MK3. However I can't find anywhere showing how to do it. In my Dash3 configuration software (v2.0.16), I do not see it in any of the lists of variables. Do I need to set up a user variable for this?
Good morning,
Actually "time slip rate" is not currently enabled on the DASH3 as a standard variable in the config software, this is currently only an option on the DASH4PRO - however clearly you've bought the DL1mk3 wanting to do this, so that is not a very satisfactory answer... to be honest this limitation is not at all clear from the information on our web site.
There is a simple workaround - add a formula to a user variable of just "VAR_0041" this is the index for "time slip rate", and then display this value. I'm *almost* certain this will work, but in the mean time I'll also ask the engineer that does the configuration software to add this as a standard variable to the next released version.
Kind regards,

I tried this tonight and can't get it to work. I set user variable 1 to "VAR_0040" (time slip in seconds) and tried outputting it both to a bar graph and a number. Neither change at all while doing laps.
I tried setting user variable 3 to "VAR_4002" (battery voltage) and that works fine. So the user variables are working on the dash, but is there any reason why the dash would not be pulling a value from the DL1 for time slip?
Should I need to do anything besides setting this up in the Dash 3 config?

Hmm.. that makes me curious, since I would think I would be able to use it in a formula. I thought that would have worked also. That was a very quick update to the software, thanks!
Don't know my firmware rev, but it's about a year old or so. It's on page 20 of the PDF manual for the Dash2.

IIRC, you tell the Dash where to put the information Left/Center/Right. I don't clearly recall, but it may need to be hooked up to a DL1. At least there was something context sensitive to the setup. Frankly, it's been about 3 years since I messed with that setup.
It's not a continuous display. It just flashes at the sector/lab markers. IMHO, continuous is too busy. Only have time to look at it on the longer straights anyway.

Ah. I see the disconnect now.
You're looking at the standard sector based predictive lap timing.
I'm talking about using the Mk3's new real time predictive lap timing. The Mk3 can calculate time slip in real time and (hopefully) the Dash can be configured to display it as a standard variable.
This is the issue. The time slip variable is not available on the Dash2 config because RT has not updated the Dash2 config since the Mk3 was introduced.
