Hi Tracy,

A feature I would like to see would be the ability to set up a screen
with user selected items displayed.  I think it was doable on the EC2,
but it was a "factory" setting.

I would also like to see an optional pulse rate input for TAS bypassing
airspeed, temp, altitude inputs.  OK, it's for use in a car, so I'm
probably the only one that would be interested!  Can the EC2 be
modified for such an input?

It's way late but I finally got the documentation, production, etc  sorted
out on the EM3.

  It has all the same features as the EM2 plus 4 additional CHT and EGT
inputs which can be used for general purpose temp measuring channels.   Also
it can do data logging on every input at 1 second intervals.  Data stored on
a USB 'thumb drive'.   Log is displayed using an EXCEL spreadsheet on PC for
analysis.

It is also modular so you don't have to pay for features you don't need.
Price is lower too.  I had them made in larger quantity to get lower
production costs.

Went back to the two part architecture (Display and acquisition module (AQM)
of the early EM2 because of the fewer wires needed between the panel and
engine room (total of 5 wires).  This makes the connections between the AQM
and engine sensors much shorter.  If the temperature guidelines are
followed, the AQM can be mounted in the engine bay.   The new design
eliminates the noise problems which limited the distance between AQM and
display seen on some EM2 Canard installations.   I,ve tested to 30+ feet and
even more should be possible.

Not ready yet but soon will have an option for Altitude Encoder output for
connection to your  transponder.

At the risk of encouraging more feature creap, are there any other functions
you guys would like to see in an engine monitor?
