Digital Instrumentation
vGaugeG8 is a multi-function digital gauge that replaces mechanical instruments and gauges in many automotive and RV applications. Now get digital instrumentation display of a variety of engine performance parameters such as TACHOMETER, RPM, OIL PRESSURE, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, FUEL LEVEL, VOLTMETER, MAIN and AUXILIARY BATTERY, and much more all in a compact sealed design. vGaugeG8 will replace existing instruments and gauges without having to rewire or replace sensors. Uses Bluetooth technology and NMEA 0183 formats to transmit gauge readings to laptops and PDA's. vGaugeG8 is based on a advanced high-speed graphic VFD display which can create an variety of instrumentation display formats. Over eight graphic display modes are available to create a truly virtual dashboard. vGaugeG8 uses a sealed screen and microprocessor control to allow you to create up to ten custom gauge positions selectable with a single button. Select which sensor readings are visible at all times while the remaining values are recalled with a single scroll button. You can custom design it to match your instrumentation and monitoring requirements. vGaugeG8 can transmit gauge readings via built-in serial port or wireless Bluetooth connections to your laptop or PDA for real-time display and data logging. NMEA 0183 integrated instrumentation sentences ($IIXDR) ensure compatibility with on-board equipment. Gauge readings can be transmitted and displayed on other NMEA 0183 devices. vGauge can also decode and display NMEA 0183 sentences such as GPS information. Bluetooth wireless connectivity allows a laptop or PDA to receive data up to 100 feet away. Optional software for personal computer or PDA (PocketPC 2003) is available for display and real-time data capture. The Bluetooth wireless capabilities allows one unit to be installed in the engine room or helm while a second unit can mounted at an alternate location without running additional wires. vGaugeG8 can be programmed to match you existing sensors/senders. Simply attach to a computer or PDA via serial cable or wireless ports - and download a text file to recalibrate. All display values are user programmable by typing values in any text editor and downloading to the device. Unit can be upgraded in the field without removing from the dash. No matter what your current sender/sensors are currently installed - vGauge can adapt. vGaugeG8 utilizes an advanced four-layer faceplate design that significantly reduces glare and fogging of the display. A customized multi-level gasket system guarantees that moisture will not leak past the two silicone-sealed buttons making the unit completely water tight. vGauge-G8 can be mounted on any wet deck and take the punishment of marine use. Extensive testing in marine environments has proven durability and function. vGaugeG8 is compact in size, big on function. Use vGaugeG8 on your dash to replace old analog instruments which take up valuable space. One vGauge will replace nine mechanical instruments in one quarter of the space. Now you will have room for that new sonar or GPS unit. Transform your entire dash into a solid-state sealed digital panel occupying a fraction of the space of your old dash. vGaugeG8 is available with a easy to read Vacuum Fluorescent display (VFD) for interior applications. The 512 character graphic display shows the gauge name and current value for 16 instruments at a time. A built-in microprocessor constantly monitors 10 sensors and transmits data out two built-in ports. Gauge readings can organized into groups and a water-proof membrane switch will cycle through them. If you want a full color display of all 10 sensors - simply connect a PDA or laptop to our Bluetooh link and experience real-time display anywhere on your vessel. For custom applications, check out our OEM MODULE. Includes all the features of the vGauge-G8 minus the case. A simple 5" X 2" cutout in your dash and you have 10 digital instruments. Add your own faceplate for a factory installed look. vGaugeG8 is also available as a remote mount unit that will send data to a PC/Laptop or PDA via a Bluetooth wireless or Serial interface. Place the remote unit in the engine compartment or other suitable location and use your PC or PDA to view and log real-time sensor data without altering your dash or installing additional equipment vGaugeG8 is housed in a solid one-piece aluminum water-tight box measuring only 7" x 5" X 1.2" deep to fit easily into any dash configuration. Its small size allows you replace larger mechanical gauges while maintaining lighted position display of all positions. Unlike mechanical instruments, vGaugeG8 is sealed to the environment and can even be mounted on the open deck. vGauge-G8 can be flush mounted into your dash or gimbal mounted on top of the dash. Checkout our installation page to see how others have upgraded their dash vGaugeG8 is ideal for any application where space is at a minimum and exposed to the elements. Use vGaugeG8 on your open cockpit runabout or sailboat. vGaugeG8 is perfect for that river sled or jet boat where keeping water and the elements out of the boat is always a problem. Transform your dash into the digital age.
