Setting the “Choose What to Display” Feature


The software can display several data parameters in both numeric and instrument format. The software displays these
parameters both for data downloaded from the recorder, and in “Live Mode” from the Seagull Dashboard.

Select the parameters you
wish the Application to
display on the PC screen by
clicking “Software, Choose
Instruments to Display on
the PC Screen.”

To add a parameter for
display, simply select it from
either the “Meters and
Gauges” or “Numeric
Values” dropdown menus,
and then it will appear in one
of the grids corresponding to
the main display screen.
Then, you can use the mouse
to drag the parameter to a
different location on the
screen, if desired. Or, if you
want to delete a parameter,
just click the “Delete” key
on your keyboard.

Note that some of the parameters require optional accessories, available from Eagle Tree Systems. See an example
screen, at right.

Also note that the display area is limited, so not all parameters can be displayed at once. Numeric parameters take up less
space than instruments, so more numeric parameters can be displayed at once.

Note: Select the “Metric” checkbox on this dialog
if you want metric operation. Also, you can change
this setting later from the Hardware menu.

Setting the RPM to Motor
Revolutions Parameter

If you have the optional RPM sensor, for the
Recorder Application to correctly determine the
RPM of your motor, you must tell the application
about the way type of RPM sensor being used, and
how it is configured.

Also, if you have a non-zero gear ratio between
your motor and your propeller, you can enter that
parameter.

The first time you run the software, you will be
prompted to enter this information.
