I can not figure out how to build usable gauges. I am trying to datalog data on an A40 Allison 6spd. Does anyone have a dashboard with the following gauges from the TCM:

TPS%
Gear
VSS
TCC Lockup
TFT

I don't care what they look like as long as I can data log the info to help fine tune my shift points.

Thx

On the Dash A tab, do rightclick and choose a theme and choose a gauge...

then on the gauge do rightclick and choose a pid...

then on the gauge do richtclick->Properties and edit the high/low marks and the various properties to taste, click save, end exit.

i will give that a try tonight. will it be that easy to build a gauge to tell me what gear the trans is actually in as it shifts?

got everything to work except a tps signal from the tcm. do you know what pid to add for this signal in an A40 tcm?

thx

The only pid that comes close to being TCM throttle position is "Throttle Angle at Shift" GM.TPSSHFT, and I don't know if it is supported by A40.
