I exported my old settings form the 7" classic and imported to the new system. I realized later that the hobbs and tach can't come over during the operation to prevent inadvertent over-writing if one is simply editing their config....

So, I thought I would get those numbers from the dfg file, and I did, but I don't know how to decode them. These numbers are huge and going from milliseconds to hours or any of conversion I can think of doesn't seem to give me the numbers I need.

What units are used in the dfg file to store the hobbs and tach time?

I can get my old data back by pulling the new system and re-installing the old, booting it up, and writing down the numbers, and reinstalling the new system and adding the numbers in through setup. However, I'd like to understand what I'm looking at and take the easy road if possible.

Thanks

The Tach is in engine revolutions. It's an odometer for the engine. You have to back out the baseline RPM and then covert to hours.

Hobbs is in seconds.

You can import these if you want. Add "_import" to the end and they will import. Example:

ems_module={
tach_time_import=XXXXXXX
hobbs_time_import=XXXXXXXX
}
