DashCommand™ Features

 

Virtual Dashboards

 

High quality dashboards utilizing our patent-pending DashXL™ technology. DashCommand™ comes with pre-loaded dashboard skins for both portrait and landscape modes. The DashXL™ skin sets include multiple dashboards with buttons to navigate between them. Each dashboard features a different gauge layout, so you can choose the right one for you.

These dashboards are built using our DashXL™ editor (accessible from the Tools menu of any of our freely downloadable Windows software applications). Using the DashXL™ editor, you can design custom dashboard layouts, so you can make them look just the way you want (and even share them with your friends)!

 

Skid Pad

 

Professional skidpad showing real-time lateral, acceleration, and braking G forces. Clearly marked G-force circle visually plots the G forces and keeps a record that you can instantly understand. It also features indicators showing your maximum left, right, acceleration, and braking G forces.

 

Race Track

 

Visually maps out your path as you drive around the race track. Displays your current location and whether you are accelerating or braking in clear and easy to see colors. Visually analyze different race track laps to see how acceleration and braking changed from lap to lap.

 

Inclinometer

 

Do you like to go off-roading or rock crawling? The inclinometer functions as both a tilt meter and a slope meter. Give yourself a little more confidence when off road, showing the roll and pitch attitude of your vehicle. Handy in terrain where the horizon is not horizontal or when wheeling at night and you can't get a good visual reference. Easily toggle between two different modes of display.

 

Other Features

  • Full support for OBD-II diagnostics

  • Find out why your check-engine light is on

  • Read and clear diagnostics trouble codes (DTCs)

  • Supports over 220 OBD-II parameters

  • Display sensor data directly from the factory computer in your vehicle

  • Record and playback log files showing OBD-II data and also skidpad/race track data simultaneously

  • Vehicle manager helps you keep track of different vehicles and log files automatically

TORQUE PRO
Anchor 6

Torque app for Android monitor's your car's performance.

 

With the help of one of our OBD ELM327 diagnostic scanners, the Torque Lite and Torque Pro apps for Android give you a peek into the inner workings of your car's brain.

 

Your car's dashboard is probably home to a speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel gauge, and -- if you're lucky -- a coolant temperature gauge. However, your car's electronic brain (ECU) is actively monitoring dozens of parameters behind the scenes that you, the driver, could find useful.

 

This is where our car diagnostics tools and apps like Torque Pro and Lite for Android step in, putting all of that data at your fingertips.

 

It is however possible to take full advantage of these apps’s full functionality to really dive deeply into the inner workings of your car's electronic brain, with a connection to your car's diagnostics port (OBD-II) port via our range of ELM327 adapters. This adapter plugs into the vehicle's diagnostics port (OBD-II), pair same with your Android phone / device wirelessly (via Wi-Fi of Bluetooth), to transmit the full spectrum of available vehicle data to the app.

 

Real-time information

 

Firing up Torque Pro brings the user to a home screen where the app's five main functions (Realtime Information, Check Fault Codes, View Map, Test Results, and Graphing) can be selected and accessed. Additionally, the home screen displays one large default gauge - either a tachometer or accelerometer depending on the hardware present. The free Torque Lite takes the user straight to the Realtime Information screen and lacks the other four functions of the Pro version.

 

The Realtime Information dashboard is the heart of the Torque Pro and Lite apps. Users can swipe between seven "screens" upon which they may place any number of virtual gauges. Gauge types include dials, half dials, bar displays, graphs, and digital readouts. These gauges can be set to monitor any of a number of metrics supplied by the phone's sensors (GPS, compass, barometer, engine RPM, fuel flow rates, temperatures of coolants, oil, or intake air).

 

Users of both the Pro and Lite versions of Torque can specify any grouping of these parameters along with GPS coordinates to be recorded via the apps' logging function. Users can e-mail their saved logs in KML format for importing into Google Earth or in a CSV format that can be imported into almost any spreadsheet editor for conversion to whatever sort of chart or graph you may need.

 

Pro features

 

Pro users gain a few enhancements to the Realtime Information dashboard. For example, Torque Pro can also display calculated values (such as 0-100km/h time, trip distance, or quarter-mile times) derived from the raw data present in the Lite version of the app. After inputting vehicle-specific values for engine displacement, vehicle weight, and fuel type into a vehicle profile, Torque Pro can even calculate estimates for fuel economy, horsepower, and of course torque. Users can store multiple profiles for many different vehicles and store separate logs and dashboard layouts for each profile.

 

Pro users also have the ability to share their gauges via Facebook or periodically broadcast location data or reported values to Twitter after logging in to either of these services.

 

Additionally, Pro users gain other monitoring functions outside of the Realtime Information dashboard.

 

The View Map function displays a Google Map with a color-coded log of your last few trips. Green segments represent low speeds and red represents high speeds. Users can also choose to display G-forces or altitude logs on this map. The Check Fault Codes function performs a scan of the vehicle's diagnostics system and displays any error codes present. Test Results allows users to perform a similar check to make sure their vehicle's sensors are reporting properly.

 

Finally, Graphing lets users plot data from any two vehicle sensors (for example, fuel pressure and engine RPM) on a chart for easy comparison.

 

In addition to the built-in functions, Pro users can also install plug-ins to further extend the functionality of the Torque app. For example, one plug-in allows the app to display a widget on the Sony SmartWatch external display, another includes additional monitorable parameters that are specific to the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 vehicles, while yet another adds a shift light to the mix.

 

Torque Lite is a free download in the Google Play Store.
