The DASH2 is a compact, robust,water resistant data display system for use with our range of data logging products. Once the DASH2 is connected to one of our data loggers, it can be configured to display many key parameters including real time lap and sector times calculated from GPS data, any available analogue measurements (e.g. temperatures and pressures), RPM,wheel/shaft speeds etc. The actual data displayed can be set up for the users specific requirements. You can also set independent alarms for all channels.
Who is the Dash2 designed for?
TheDASH2 can be used for road, racing and development applications. It extends the use of our loggers by allowing the user to see the data in real time in the vehicle.
What does the Dash2 do?
The unit accepts the serial data stream from our range of data logging products, converts them to the users preferred units and displays them on the screen. For example you could display exhaust gas temperature or il pressure, you can also set warning levels for each channel to indicate when an input is too high or low. Crucially, the DASH2 also displays high accuracy lap and sector times, calculated from GPS data without the need for a track side beacon. The actual data that the DASH2displays, as well as the units etc can all be configured from a PC to the users exact requirements. Up to 30 different user defined screens can be set up. Depending on the device that the DASH2 is connected to the following channels are available:
Features:
- Die cast aluminium enclosure - sealed to IP65
- High contrast, high visibility custom LCD display with EL back light
- 4 external switch inputs, allowing customisable controls
- Dual 'Binder' 423 Series connectors accepting power, switch inputs and serial data (leads available for AX22, DL1, DL2, SPEED BOX)
- Configurable from a PC
- Up to 30 user configurable screens with values, bar graphs, or both.
Dashboard Configuration:
The data that is displayed can be controlled using the PC software provided, meaning that only the relevant data is visible and presented in the most helpful format. Using the software you can control:
- Which channels are displayed
- The name of the channels
- The units displayed
- The scaling of the channels
- The number of decimal places displayed
- Whether 2, 3 or 4 channels are displayed on the screen
- Whether the channel is displayed as a value or bar graph
- The lower and upper warning levels for the channels
