What EGT Reading To Use On DashDaq?

[teamscheff]

I have been reading EGT1 since I installed my DashDaq a few months ago. It always seems to run pretty cool so I have been nosing around and see that I should be reading EGRTA instead. I check all my available sensors and this is nowhere to be found. I checked my Ford parameters, and the others that are available and it is nowhere. How do I get this to display, and is it the one I should be viewing?. I updated firmware once when I initially installed the system. I currently have 2.1.1-1633. Any help would be greatly appreciated!..Thanks in advance,
Greg

are you looking for EGRTA or are you looking for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temp Sensor, Bank A???? or something like that...

From some of the other posts on here, we should be using "EGRTA" for the exhaust temp monitoring. That is the one I can not find, I'm currently using EGT1 bank 1 and it rarely ever gets over 600 deg just daily driving.

it cuts off before it finishes, due to the narrow screen

OK...I guess I get the dumb *** award tonight. Just went back out and scrolled through again and there it was. I must have skipped over it a dozen times!.. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Should be good to go.
