Getting Started

 

The following is a quick start guide which is a walk through of the basics. It will step through monitoring and, if desired, recording the Engine RPM from the OBD-II port of the vehicle.

1.                  Connect the data acquisition unit to the OBD-II connector of the vehicle and to the computer being used for acquisition.

2.                  Start the Edge Analysis DataPro program.

3.                  Press the Parameters Button.

4.                  A window will pop up giving the options to Validate PIDs, Load Configuration, or Cancel Validation.  Select the Cancel Validation button, for this guide the validation is not necessary.

 Set Graph Scale Min and Max

To select the min and max of the graph scale use the Channel Min Value and Channel Max Value boxes.  These define what value is assigned to the min and max A/D counts.  Since the OT-1 devices output A/D counts, this will allow for a conversion to the desired scale.

 

Enter Manufacturer Min and Max A/D Counts

If a calibration sheet is available which gives the Min and Max A/d Count, then these numbers can be add into thes Min A/D Count and Max A/D Count boxes.
