If you have a magnetic RPM sensor, enter the number of times your motor turns with each rotation of the
magnets as described in this dialog box. If you have an optical or brushless RPM sensor, please see the instructions
included with that sensor.
Note: You can change this setting later from the “Calibrate” software menu.
Setting Metric or English Units
Metric or English units are selected via the Windows Recorder Application (the App). The default setting is English
units. To change this, Click “Software, Choose Units of Measure” in the software, and click on “Display In Metric.”
This causes both the software display and the Seagull LCD display to switch to metric.
NOTE: whenever you change this parameter, you must re-download data to the Seagull Dashboard, as described
in “Seagull Dashboard Data Setup Utility Instructions” below. The software will prompt you to connect the
Dashboard to do this.
Seagull Configuration Wizard
NOTE: your Seagull Transmitter is pre-configured at the factory. It should not be necessary
for you to run the Seagull Configuration Wizard again.
To configure the Seagull system, plug the USB cable into your PC and the Data Recorder, and launch the software and
select “Advanced, Seagull Setup Wizard.” This wizard will guide you through the rest of the installation process. See
the below instructions on configuring specific items in the Wizard:
Seagull Transmitter Type: Select the type of transmitter you have.
Seagull ID: The Wizard automatically generates an ID for your Seagull system, which you can change in the wizard.
The Seagull ID uniquely attaches your Seagull Transmitter to your Dashboard. This attachment means that it is unlikely
that other Seagull systems at your site will interfere with your system, and it also keeps your data private to some degree.
Note that the Seagull system will not operate if the Seagull Transmitter and Dashboard are set to different ID’s.
Note: The Dashboard ID is displayed in Hexadecimal in the lower right-hand side of the LCD screen at Dashboard power
up.
Set Beep on Seagull Keyboard Press: Check this wizard box if you want a short beep to sound on each press of the
Dashboard buttons. Note that in this mode, selecting Mute All will silence these beeps.
Seagull Power Level (900 MHz transmitters only): The Seagull Transmitter supports operation at low and high power
levels. Normally low power is good for indoor use, and high power may be required for outdoor use. Warning:
Always range check your vehicle after changing power levels!
Connecting the Dashboard to USB: When the Wizard asks you to Connect the Seagull Dashboard, disconnect the
Recorder from the USB connection, and connect the Dashboard as described in the “Seagull Dashboard Receiver
Instructions” section above. Note: Follow the Wizard instructions carefully – if the computer needs to reboot the first
time the Dashboard is installed, do so and relaunch the Wizard after reboot.
After the Dashboard is successfully discovered by your PC, “USB Mode Active” should display on the LCD window. If
this does not happen, see the Troubleshooting section below.
Launching the Dashboard Data Setup Utility: After the Dashboard is discovered by the PC, the Next button of the
Wizard should ungray, and hitting Next take you to the final page of the Wizard. This page has a button to launch the
