scan guage screen #2

Ok I've seen mention of a screen #2 where as folks are watching 8 guages vs 4, by switching from screen #1 to #2? I've searched a lot but can't find how.

am I reading too much into posts and 4 is it or is there a second guage screen hidden some where?

yes I know I can scroll thru parameters - kind of a pain. I also know there is a performance screen but that doesn't seem to be what I am looking for, unless I'm missing something?

if there isn't a a screen #2. How about some tips as to what method
you find most effective beyond the top 4 you put on your guage screen.

thanks for the insight

I think what you have heard about is 2 scan gauge units being used simultainiously, thus allowing 8 readouts... You can buy a simple daisy chain cable, and hook 2 (or more) units together: Daisy Chain Cable : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge

AFAIK, there is no way to show more than 4 gauges on a single display.

Enter the xgauges alphabetically from #24 -0.

Makes it easier for me to find what I'm looking for..

Is that just an Ethernet cable? Or is it a crossover? $10 seems a little steep for either

Or use DashBoss for 12 pid's on one screen and 3 more pages of 4 pid's each.

I am not sure... It looks like it would be a standard Ethernet cable, but I have no way of knowing without actually testing one...

Decent idea, I was thinking grouping gages like putting ECT and EOT together. Putting Battery voltage and FICM together things like that. Etc.

Anyway, now that I know there isn't some hidden second screen, I will have to pencil it around a bit and see what works for me.

thanks again for the suggestion.

I do believe it is a straight Ethernet cable.
You also may want to look up the 9 volt battery
mod so that you can program then SGII in the house.
No more in and out of the truck or having to wake
it up when it times out in the programming mode.
