Presuming this is an OK forum to ask, the title says it all. :D

Depends on the firmware version and what is in the ini file. It isn't specific to the tuning software.

It is logged in the current MS2/Extra 3.0.3 alpha code, but there isn't a gauge for it. You can add a gauge by editing the ini file. (mainController.ini)
find the gauges and then add this line:

Code: Select all

rpmdot = rpmdot, "rpmdot", "rpm/sec", -15000, 15000, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 0, 0

You can also create a gauge for it without going in the ini. If you go into designer mode and and create a new gauge or change an existing gauge.
If in designer mode right click on a gauge, select:
Properties --> OutputChannel
and in the dialog you can select rpmdot if you have a firmware with the OutputChannel.

At one time I wasn't able to enter a negative value for gauge limit; I can't recall how I got around it.
