Operation

To perform any of the activities in the Online menu, the PC needs to
communicate to the C185.

Note: All other menu items perform offline activities.

Retrieving the Logged Data

• On

the

Online menu, click Get Logged Data

A personal computer is used to unload the logged data from the C185. The
logged data is then stored on the computer hard disk.

After each unload the user has the option to clear the logging memory.

The unload may be interrupted part way through if necessary by
disconnecting the computer. The partial unload will contain the most recently
logged data and will be stored on the computer hard disk. In this case the
C185 logging memory is not cleared and logging will continue as normal at
the end of the existing data. Next time the logged data is unloaded both the
new data and the previously partly unloaded data will be retrieved.

Sending and Retrieving Configuration Files

• On

the

Online menu, click Send Configuration to send the currently open

configuration file

When a configuration file is sent to the C185 the existing C185 data is
retrieved and stored in the From Dash Backups directory to use in case the
data in the C185 needs to be restored. The maximum number of files is 10.
• On

the

Online menu, click Get Configuration to retrieve the current

configuration file

This is normally not necessary unless the original file is not available on the
PC.

Zeroing Sensors

Some sensors require regular zeroing, for example Steering Angle,
Suspension Position, Ride Heights, G Force Sensors & Throttle Position.
C185 Dash Manager provides a feature for easy zeroing of all these sensors.
