3.2- Accessing Monitor Mode
The Trinity Allows users to view virtual gauges at the touch of a
button (or screen if you prefer)! Let’s look at how you can start
monitoring live data as soon as you plug the tool in.
NOTE:
Monitor mode does not record live data, for information on
recording logs please see section 4 later in the manual.
Step 1: Select “Monitoring” from the Trinity’s main menu. Choose from a
pre‐existing
gauge
setup‐
this
can
be
either
a
DiabloSport
factory
default,
or
a
custom
gauge
setup
that
you
have
created!
For
more
information
on
creating
your
own
gauge
setup,
see
the
Section 4.3
later
in
this
manual.
Step 2: Drive
your
vehicle
and
view
the
virtual
gauges
in
real
time.
Many
DiabloSport
setups
will
have
more
than
one
“Gauge Page”
or
bank
of
virtual
gauges.
You
can
switch
between
different
gauge
pages
on
the
fly
by
touching
the
screen
or
using
the
up
and
down
buttons
to
the
right
of
your
Trinity
screen.
SECTION 4: Trinity Logging
Menu
The Trinity comes with several pre‐set gauge layouts already optimized
for your vehicle; however, you may need or want to create your own
custom gauge layout. This section will detail the specifics of making your
own layouts with your Trinity.
Trinity owners can not only view data streaming directly from the
vehicle’s PCM, but also record this data for viewing at a later time. This is
extremely useful while road testing when a user can not pay attention to
the gauges.
In the logging menu you will be able to play back any previously recorded
data. You can fast forward or rewind to search for specific events in a
time line. The Trinity’s logging section is broken down into three main
items:
Log files: A
log
file
is
recorded
PID
data
from
your
vehicle.
When
you
record
a
log
file
the
Trinity
saves
the
gauge
layout
it
was
recorded
in
for
later
viewing.
In
addition
to
viewing
log
files
on
the
Trinity
screen
they
can
also
be
loaded
to
your
PC
and
viewed
with
DiabloSport’s
free
Data
Viewer
software
(available
for
download
at
www.diablosport.com
). See Section 5.7 for more information.
The
more
parameters
you
log
with
Trinity,
the
longer
the
interval
between
samples
from
the
vehicle’s
computer.
A
vehicle’s
PCM
only
has
so
much
bandwidth
to
send
diagnostic
data
to
external
equipment.
The
PCM
sends
one
sample
of
parameter
data
and
then
moves
to
the
next
parameter
in
queue
and
sends
that
data.
The
more
parameters
the
PCM
has
in
queue
to
send
to
the
Trinity,
the
longer
the
interval
between
samples.
Best
results
are
obtained
when
