RPM RPM

Is there any way to get rid of the redundant "RPM" on the RPM gauge?

Wow!! I never noticed it

The duplicate can be edited out. I don't remember where though. Try a search.

There isn't a way to get rid of the units. We have this on our wish list, but it isn't in the current software.

Early units shipped with "RPM RPM" as the default. Newer units ship with "TACH RPM". You can change this yourself in sensor mapping, just change the name of your RPM input from RPM to TACH.

So, can you not change it to "Space"......?

 

[dynonsupport]

You cannot change it to just Space. SkyView will treat this as "no entry" and delete your TACH setup.

Plus, this doesn't save any space on the screen since you would have the top line be blank and the bottom be RPM. We will eventually allow you to remove the units so you can just say "TACH" instead of "TACH RPM" or just say "AFR" instead of "AFR VOLTS".

I just got back from the hangar, and I went in to the menus, but maybe I missed something, because I couldn't figure out how to change it. In the sensor mapping page, there are two "RPM" entries, and the only thing I can change is "RPM L" and "RPM R", neither of which actually shows up (it's just "RPM"). I couldn't find any other location in any menu to change it (but then again, it's been a *very* long day and maybe I just wasn't thinking clearly).

You can remove the name by hand coding the .dfg file. You can export the .dfg file by exporting the settings. Use a text editor to search for RPM and remove the name. Then load the file back into SV.

      c37_p32/34_v2={
            valid=1
            [b]name=[/b]
            id=RPM
            alarm_type=OFF
            range={
                  max_display=3000
                  min_display=0
                  range1_valid=1
                  range1_top=0
                  range1_bot=2000
                  range1_name=R1
                  range1_color=GREEN
                        etc.

This is the result. Ignore the ECU label. It's a button I overlaid the RPM gauge over. Also notice the AMPS and VOLTS gauges.

Marien;
I assume one removes the "RPM L" and next field "RPM R" name?
thx!

 

[mmarien]

Yes. I had to go back to my 3.1 backup to find it. Remove both the RPM L and RPM R.
