Seagull Transmitter Type: Select either the FCC US Transmitter (red case) or the EU transmitter (gold case) depending on which system 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
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 (FCC transmitter only): The Seagull Transmitter supports operation at low (around
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 Dashboard Data Setup Utility. See the below section on running this utility. Once the utility is successfully run, the Finish button of the Wizard will ungray.
Seagull Dashboard Data Setup Utility Instructions
This utility (the Utility) will appear the first time you run the Seagull Configuration Wizard, and can be
Figure 4 shows the main page of the Utility. The Utility main page is divided into the following section:
Select Data Parameter to Configure on the Dashboard LCD: This section contains the tools to select what, how and where parameters are displayed on the LCD pages.
Figure 6 provides a table of the parameters that can be configured with your system.
To select and configure a parameter, choose the parameter to be configured in the “Select Feature to Display” window. A “o” next to an item indicates that this item is already selected for display, and choosing it will allow you to edit the item. After selecting the parameter, click the “Enable this parameter…” checkbox to enable the parameter to be displayed/configured, or uncheck it to remove it from the list.
Once the parameter is enabled, choose where the parameter will be displayed by choosing the location in the “Select Display Location” window. A “o” next to the location chosen means it is already in use by this or another parameter. Choosing a location that is in use already will cause the parameter using it to be disabled.
The window labeled “Enter the label to display..” in this section displays the 3 digit label that will be displayed beside this parameter on the LCD. You can change this 3 digit label to be whatever you want. For example, if Temperature Sensor 1 was attached to your Cylinder Head, you might label this parameter “CHT.”
NOTE: If the data for each parameter grows large, such as a large RPM, the middle character in the 3 digit label will be eliminated to show all the numeric digits in the parameter. For example, “RPM 0” would become “RM 40342” in this case.
