Generic Sensor

The Generic Sensor function allows a custom sensor or input to be configured with the ECU, where that sensor type is not directly listed in the system.

Settings



On this node, the Generic Sensor calibration can be loaded or entered manually. If you have purchased a Sensor from Haltech, calibrations can be loaded directly into the calibration table by using the 'Load from File' button. Calibrations can be saved to file by using the 'Save to File' button. 

Name - Enter a name that is to be used for the Generic Sensor. This name will be used when searching for channels throughout the system.
