Introduction to the display configuration tool

The display configuration tool can be used to control the behaviour and operation of DASH2 - LCD dashboard with shift lights.

This section of the help document is split into the following detailed topics:

  • Variable scaling - this section describes how to set up the conversion of a voltage or frequency to a "real" physical quantity, for example air temperature, fuel level, oil pressure. You can also use the variable scaling option to change units, for example speed in mph or kph.
