Re: Grt Hx and efii wideband oxygen sensor display

Caleb, In theory the Hx analog inputs can display a 0-12 volt signal. The documentation gives instruction on how to use these for trim indicators. Perhaps Jeff will answer how to configure them for your specific purpose. I can't find any documentation on how to configure them in general. Originally ...

Re: Looking for help with GRT panel

Harry, In the documentation section of the website under Sport Manuals there is a Sport Transition Training Guide. There is a lot of good information in there. I haven't watched them, but there are several video tutorials by Jerry Morris that should also be helpful. Be aware that the software in all...

It works fine and you can make graphs of data. Make graphs of different variables and then superimpo...

Re: Sport sx not showing engine info

On the first set up page (General Setup), is the counter for EIS changing? This will confirm that the data is getting to the EFIS.

If not, check the wiring between the EIS and EFIS and the baud rate (should be 9600).

The EGT probes are Type K. The CHT are Type J. See page 5b of the manual where it talks about extension wires.

Re: Recording engine data

Graham,

On the GRT Website, go to Support, Feature of the Week. There is a tutorial on using the DEMO to record data. Use the USB port on your display.
