Config File
For those using the latest config file, once it has been loaded, you will need to make some changes if you wish to see your high warning in a different color.
If you are using sports mode, you will notice that all numbers being used are currently red in the boxes, with the background being white. See DashDaq manual pg 21. This does not apply to the actual gauges, so scroll to the right till you get to were there are gauges with boxes, or all boxes. Click on a box, and it will take you to set gauge properties. Notice that the color used for maximum and high warning readings are both in red, therefore if you exceed your high warning you would never see it.
This is how you correct the problem.
Click one of the boxes that you are currently monitoring, EOT, ECT, TFT, MGP, FRP, etc. Let’s try ect (engine coolant temperature). You can always refer to the DashDaq manual pg 25 if you need additional assistance. Once you get to set gauge properties, you will find a red, green, and blue dot between high warning, and the actual number you have set for the high warning. Click on the dots. It take you to another screen where you will be able to change the color of the numbers, so when the instrument you are monitoring reaches the high warning limits your numbers will be displayed in the high warning colors you selected. Next click save. This will take you back to set gauge properties. If the number colors are those that you have selected, then click save again, which takes you back to gauges.
If you want to check and see how it looks when you do exceed your high warning limits try this.
Click on, lets say ect (engine coolant temperature) used as an example. Change the high warning to 100. It should still be in the color that you selected earlier. Click save and return to gauges. Start your truck. As soon as the temperature goes above 100 the colors should change to that which you have selected. You will need to set up all your boxes this way.
You can also change your assign signal and low warning colors following the same procedure.
If you have any problems doing this, send me a PM.
