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.

Wiring


Options

Sensor Type - Select the type of sensor that is being connected.
Switch - Select when a simple On/Off input is being connected.
Voltage - Select when a voltage is desired as the input.
Pressure - Select when a Pressure Sensor is being connect.
Temperature - Select when a Temperature Sensor is being connected.
Percentage - Select when a Percentage Input is being connected.
ECU Input Type - Choose from the following input types to be used
Digital - Switched - Select when the input is either on or off.
Analogue - Voltage - Select when the input is a varying 0 to 5V signal.
Analogue - Resistance - Select when the input is a varying resistance
Digital - Frequency - Select when the input is a variable frequency.
Digital - Duty Cycle - Select when the input is a variable duty.
Digital - Period - Select when the input is a variable pulse width signal.
Digital - Active Time - Select the input is to be based on time.
Onboard Pressure Sensor - Select when the on board pressure sensor is to be used for an unlisted purpose.
Thermocouple Type K - Select when a Haltech TCA unit is connected and a Thermocouple is to be used for an unlisted pupose.

Connections

Select an appropriate input based on the type of Generic Sensor being connected.
AVI - Can be used for variable voltage or resistance inputs, and switched inputs.
SPI - Can be used for variable voltage or resistance inputs, switched inputs, and frequency or timed inputs.
