(also posted in "installtions problems").
I have installed the AP22. Unfortunatly the dashboard does not allow for at perfect level installation. The meter is tilted approx. 3degrees forward - ie the side of the box near the windscreen is slightly lower than the display side of the box.
What should I do with the tilt-factor comparable to a perfectly leveled installation - increase or decrease the number ?
Thanks for your help !
Cheers

Tilt factor when dashboard is not levelled ?
No.
Ideally a DL1 should be mounted level.
If not, there is compensation available in the software, under vehicle options. The Help file discusses this, have a look at that.
In my opinion the best method is to mount as level as possible (the monitor function read through a PC is a big help) with the car parked in a level spot, then take a short (say 15-30 seconds) run log, load that into Analysis, and let it compute its own compensations, as commanded under Data > Vehicle Options > Accelerometers > Calc Offsets.
If the DL1 is quite level you can skip the compensation. If you are using the compensation, you will have to save it as a .car file (under advanced load/saves).
Note that for most uses, the mounting angle and compensation is not super critical (as long as it's "eyeball level"). But for determining power/torque it is quite critical.
