This is probably a dumb question but i have been trying to figure out if i can scan while in dashboard "B". Not recording (logging) mind you, just scanning. I can scan in dashboard "A" no problem, but im not crazy about that layout. I would prefer to do all my scanning and logging in just dashboard "B".

Thanks

your logs should also scan in b.

the charts don't do anything until you actually start recording IIRC, whereas the regular dashboard also shows values while it's just connected and ready ... just start the recording session and you should see the data flowing through ...

Thanks Gary, thats what i thought. I can "monitor data in dash "A", but not in "B". I can only "LOG" in dash "B"

I ha more to do with the difference between graphs and gauges. I think if you were to make a custom dash page that included both the graph wouldn't update when monitoring either. Basically I don't think it is a Dash B vs. Dash A issue if you know what I mean.

right on! Thats what i had to do. I deleted the background and gauges from dashboard "A". Then i inserted "CHARTS" instead of guages and made dashboard "A" look just like "B". Sweet! Thanks Tordne.
