CUSTOMIZE APPLICATION

The 

Customize Application

 dialog box contains the default parameters used when storing a downloaded file 

for the first time.  Any changes made in this dialog box will affect future downloaded files. To customize an 
existing file, use the 

Customize File

 dialog box.  See below for more details.

Each item setting can be edited.  To edit an item setting, click on a parameter in the box on the left side of the 
dialog box.  The setting for that selected parameter will appear in the box on the right side of the dialog box.

NOTE

  When using the magnetic sensor to trigger the RPM reading, the Spur and Pinion gear values must be 

updated in the 

Customize Application

 dialog box prior to downloading data from the Novak Sentry Data 

Logger device.  Failure to do so will result in incorrect RPM readings.

brushless motor sensor for RPM calculation.



KPH or MPH.  When the speed unit is set to KPH, the software assumes the tire



Graph Color

- The color for display on the graphs can be changed.



Max Value

- Maximum display value for the selected sensor can be changed.  

This is especially useful for fitting data on the graphs or fine tuning the program 
to your particular applications.



Name String

- The display name used to identify the selected sensor throughout 

the application/file.  Modify the name for easier identification.

CUSTOMIZE FILE

The 

Customize File

 dialog box is very similar to the 

Customize Application

 dialog box.  However, any 

changes made to this section only affect the selected file.  In exception, the graph color setting can not be 
changed in this section.  Any customization of the graph color can be done in the 

Customize Application

dialog box only.

In addition, the RPM ratio and magnet count settings cannot be changed in the 

Customize File

dialog box.  These settings must be updated in the 

Customize Application

 dialog box prior to downloading a 

log file from the Novak Sentry Data Logger device.
