Rainier,
Thank you so much for the explanation of what is going on. The content of your reply should be in the RDAC manual. This will save a lot of people a lot of time and frustration.

Guys, While researching oil temp probes I found this tidbit of information on the Aircraft Spruce site for the MGL-Westach oil temp sender. It read, "Note that EFIS will read 32 deg F (0 deg C) until you reach the operating temp of 70 deg F". Since I haven't started the engine yet I presume my Swift...

Guys,
After reading other related posts here I found I had other ground wires going to the same engine stud ground as the RDAC-XG. I removed all extraneous ground wires and now the CHTs and EGTs read ambient air temp. Still working on oil temp and press reading high.

MGL Guys, I found my problem. From your MGL V16 Com Radio Connection to iBox (iEFIS system ) the wiring diagram shows the 5 &6 pins on the radio going straight into the 7 &8 pins on the iBox. I soldered the loose RX and TX wires from the radio harness into the 5th & 6th pin buckets on the BN25 conne...

MGL Guys, Since my last inquiry I made the necessary RS232 connections to the iBox to rid the screen of the red "X" over the radio touchscreen pad. I then allocated serial port "3" for com 1. The Razor that I have will flip freqs on the Razor head and EFIS screen (They are slaved, right?), but when ...

MGL Guys, On my VW engine I have Swift sensors and probes. Oil Press is 0-100 PSI 0.5 - 4.5V. Oil Temp is 1/8" NBT @ 1/4" tip. EGT is K type clamp @ 1/2" tip. CHT is 14mm J type. What selection should I make in the engine setup menu to get real temperatures and pressures to show on the Challenger iE...

MGL Guys, I found the Radio to EFIS wires in the V16 harness. I hadn't even connected them. My bad. After soldering the leads into the proper buckets on the 25 pin connector the EFIS did recognize the radio (No red X). I then selected serial port 3 for Com1,as per instructions. The problem now is th...

MGL Guys, I have a Challenger iEFIS and V16 with a Razor head. The radio works great via the Razor. However the EFIS screen shows a red X over the Com 1 in spite of my efforts to slave the EFIS control to the Razor control. The EFIS control won't tune the radio independently either. How do I get the...

All,
I was able to enter into the Standard Systems Selections after I de-selected "Demo mode" in the other menu selections. I now have 4 EGTs and 4 CHTs for my WV conversion. I hope this helps other solve their similar problem.

Thanks, I'll work on eliminating the NTC probe designations. Maybe there's something to do with the flight "autodetect". I'll put that on "manual" and see if it stops thinking I'm flying.
I'll keep everyone posted of progress.
