GT 320-350 STEERING WHEELUSER GUIDE

Made in Italy

Thanks

We would like to thank you for choosing GTSteering Wheel, the new wheel showingreal time data sampled by EVO4 logger.

With GT Steering Wheel you can view va-lues coming from the ECU, from accelero-meters, as well as from the GPS built intothe EVO4, while also receiving informationfrom the on-board camera SmartyCam.

GT Steering Wheel also shows data comingfrom your Engine Control Unit via ECUBridge, the interface module connectingthe ECU to AiM visors and steering wheels.

You can also activate up to four externalunits from the GT Steering Wheel.

Its graphic display allows a more preciseand enjoyable visualization of data.Size and make have been specifically designed for GT and Touring cars use.

1

GT Steering Wheel pages, shift lights andalarms configuration is done using the RaceStudio 2 software.

Therefore, select GT Steering Wheel as thedisplay in EVO4 configuration.

n Lap Time:shows the lap time of the previous lap;

n +/- Best TimeShows a prediction of the current lap timecompared with the best lap of the session.

n Predictive Time:Shows a forecast of the current lap time;

n Rolling Time:shows the lap time for ten seconds, thenshows the rolling time;

4 – Then assign how a LED will respondwhen the event (or events) occurs:

1 – Fill in the DESCRIPTION field, so you caneasily identify the event in the future (1).

2 – Describe the Alarm: it can be a simpleevent, for example “water temperature isgreater than 100 C°” (2)...

You can have G-Dash turn on the LED andyou can also select the LED color and theLED behavior (solid or fast/slow blinking).
