Today we're going to discuss the data monitor.
This helpful monitor can be custom configured to display factory, as well as custom sensor
inputs.
For the advanced user I'll show you how to set up some custom data sets that be recalled
with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Let's take a deeper look at the software and I'll show you how.
The data monitors located in the lower left hand corner of your software screen.
By clicking on the right arrow at the top right corner of the data monitor or the left
arrow, it will allow you to toggle through different sensor parameter views.
If you click on E, this will allow you to bring up the data monitor set up table which
will allow you to custom edit the data monitor to fit your particular needs.
If you see a green check mark next to a sensor reading, that's just an indicator that it's
already assigned to one of the available sensor views.
That doesn't mean you can not add it to an additional view.
If you want to change the priority of the sensor readings you can do so by simply left
clicking and holding and dragging it tot he position you want it to take priority in.
You can also re-name a sensor heading.
In this case instead of saying sensors, I'm just going to go to something pretty generic
like stuff.
If the sensor reading is in bold, that indicates that it is currently associated with your
given global folder.
If it's not bold while it is an available sensor reading, it's currently not going to
be an available option with the global folder that's loaded.
You can scroll on the bottom to view different sensor parameter readings as well as some
of your custom inputs.
In this case I'm going to take a look at input one.
Input one currently is not being utilized but we're going to go ahead and create something
real quick to show you what happens.
So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to cancel, go to input one, then I'm going to
create a sensor input.
I'm going to enable it and in this case I'm just going to use a 5 volt Holley sensor.
So we're going to go ahead and configure, and from my sensor type I'm going to use 100
PSI Holley pressure transducer.
If I go back into edit my views and I toggle over, I will now see that dome pressure has
replaced input one.
I can then assign that as required and you'll see now that since it's assigned it does have
a green checkmark.
You might want to start from scratch, to do so you do clear all, you can then assign the
sensor parameters that you want to view as they meet your needs.
You can also select autofill which will pre-populate some common sensor readings.
As you can see, this data monitor is a pretty flexible tool.
It goes a little bit further than that because a common thing that you may run into is working
with different vehicles.
There may be a specific set of parameters that you want to view, but you don't necessarily
want to take the time to go in and change those around each time you go to work on the
vehicle.
What you can do is click on data monitor file, go down to save as, and it will give you the
ability to save as many different data monitor configurations as you choose.
See I'll go to monitor two, I'll go ahead and save that, then in order to change between
them, with a couple of mouse clicks I can go back to data monitor file, open, and I
can go back to my factory default if I choose.
This also gives you the ability to email a data monitor file.
To do that you can go to your documents folder, go to your Holley file, In this case V4 software,
data monitor configs, then you can simply copy and paste that monitor configuration
to an email.
You will find that the general layout of the editing features holds true with not only
the data monitor but also with the strip chart functions as well as the data logger functions.
