Dash Manager Software

Changing the Configuration

Once an existing configuration file has been opened, or a new one created
the various parts of the configuration may be modified by choosing the
appropriate items from the main menu. The configuration setup items are
accessed from the main menu items: Inputs, Calculations and Functions.

Setup Details

For details on each of the Dash Manager setup screens click on the Help
button that is provided on each screen.

Configuration Sequence

The configuration is best setup in the following order:

1. Inputs

(Input Pins & Communications)

2. Calculations

(Lap Time, Fuel Prediction etc)

3. Functions

(Logging, Display, Alarms, Auxiliary Outputs etc)

This simplifies the setup procedure by ensuring that the required channels are
available for the functions that use them.

• Note that channels cannot be used until they have been generated by an

input, calculation or function.

Versions and Updating

Updating

The software inside the ADL can be updated by the user at any time to take
advantage of the latest features offered by MoTeC.

To update the ADL software version select Online | Update Version from the
Dash Manager main menu.

Matching Versions

The version of software inside the ADL must match the version of the Dash
Manager software. If the versions do not match, Dash Manager will show a
warning when it attempts to communicate with the ADL.
