MoTeC C185 - Manual (Page 21)

16 Configuration MoTeC
Configuration
All aspects of the C185 can be configured including, which sensor is
connected to which input, the calibration of each sensor, what to display and
where to display it, what to log and how fast to log it, tacho range, warning
alarms, multi stage shift lights, etc.
The configuration is stored in a configuration file on the PC. When starting
C185 Dash Manager the menu items related to changing the configuration are
unavailable. To make them available, load a configuration file either by
opening an existing file or by creating a new one.
All changes to the C185 configuration are performed ‘Offline’, i.e. without the
PC communicating with the C185. The changes are saved in the configuration
file on the PC. The file must be sent to the C185 before the changes take
effect. See Operation.
Tip: When using a laptop in and around a car, it is often not practical to use a
mouse to navigate through the program. Using the keyboard to select options
is easier. An overview is given in Windows Keyboard Shortcuts.
