4.2.7.1.3 Erase Data Log Memory
The Erase button erases the Data Log memory. It erases ALL the logs in the dash memory. After pressing the Erase
button a screen will appear to verify that you wish to erase the memory. If you do not want to erase the memory, select
Back. To continue with erasure, press the Erase button in the middle of the screen. The screen will indicate the memory is
erasing. Erasing will take about 30 seconds per 2MB of data log memory. Please be patient during this process, the unit is
functioning properly. When it is complete, it will display Erase Complete. Touch the screen to continue.
4.2.8 Display Settings
The Display Settings Menu provides access to backlight and contrast settings for day and night mode, date and time
settings, and fi rmware and serial number information. 4.2.8.1 About The About button displays a screen containing the
model number, fi rmware version, and serial number of the dash. Touching anywhere on the screen exits back to the
Display Settings screen.
4.2.8.2 Date & Time
The Date & Time button displays the year, month, day, hour, and minute currently stored on the dash. Since the dash uses
this information when storing data logs, it is useful to have this time current. The date is displayed in a Year-Month-Day
format. Time can be displayed in either AM/PM or 24hr format. To change the format of the time, touch the AM, PM, or
24 label to the right of the current time. To change any information, touch it and select the new value. The Save & Back
button will save the current time and return to the Display Settings menu, while the Back button will discard any changes.
The time and date will not be lost if the unit is disconnected from power.
4.2.8.3 Day/Night
The dash contains two settings for backlight and contrast to accommodate an installation in a vehicle where lighting
conditions may require separate display settings. The Day/Night button switches between the daytime and nighttime
backlight and contrast settings. The current mode is displayed on the upper left hand corner. The changes made to
contrast and backlight will be associated with whichever mode that is currently displayed. If an analog input is defi ned
to switch between day and night mode, then when the Back button is selected, it will return to the mode commanded by
the analog input. If an analog input is not defi ned as a night mode switch, then the mode selected when the Back button
is pressed will remain in affect until either the mode is switched or the unit is reset. Daytime mode is default out of reset.
4.2.9 Communications
The Communications menu establishes any connections to serial or CAN devices. The Communications Menu has three
buttons for RS-232, CAN A, and CAN B. Select the button of the communications protocol to setup. Due to the type of
network, only one RS-232 device can be setup at a time, whereas multiple CAN devices can communicate at once. 4.2.9.1
RS-232 Pass-Through Mode RS-232 Pass-Through Mode is a feature of the dash that is intended to help in making a
clean installation of a serial device. When connecting the dash to a device, such as an after market engine management
system, there will be a point when the communication cable between the dash and the ECU needs to connect to a laptop
for engine tuning. This would require easy access to the cable resulting in a cable installation that could not be loomed,
zipped tied, or otherwise hidden from the common observer. The dash Pass-Through Mode eliminates this problem. The
port on the side of the dash should look just like the port the laptop would regularly plug into to communicate with the
ECU. Simply plug the serial cable into the dash side port, and touch the pass-through button from the RS-232 Menu. This
effectively disconnects the dash from the device and connects the serial device directly to the side port on the dash. The
dash will not be able to monitor data from the serial device when in Pass-Through Mode.
Note: The D200 will stay in pass-through mode until pass-through mode has been disabled or the power to
the D200 has been turned off.
