I am having trouble finding a suitable location to mount the rather large Dynon ammeter shunt in a Glasair.  The B&C ammeter shunt will fit well physically but is a 50mv/70A unit, against the Dynon 60mv/60A shunt.  Can the EMS be calibrated to use the B&C shunt?

It's a moderately advanced operation that requires that you hand-edit the sensor file. You basically need to replace the x1 term, which is 1000 by default, with 1400.

You can get the latest version of the sensor file from our website, make that small change in the profile, and the load it onto your SkyView unit. You may want to adjust the name as well so that it shows up with a different name in the pin mapping setup.
