Thanks
We would like to thank you for choosing GT
Steering Wheel, the new wheel showing real time data sampled by EVO4 logger.
With GT Steering Wheel you can view values coming from the ECU, from accelerometers, as well as from the GPS built into the EVO4, while also receiving information from the on-board camera SmartyCam.
GT Steering Wheel also shows data coming from your Engine Control Unit via ECU
Bridge, the interface module connecting the ECU to AiM visors and steering wheels.
You can also activate up to four external units from the GT Steering Wheel.
Its graphic display allows a more precise and enjoyable visualization of data.
Size and make have been specifically designed for GT and Touring cars use.

Multifunctional Pushbuttons
The four buttons beside the Steering wheel display can be used to activate external units.
In the Appendix 1 you can see the related wirings.

CHAPTER 2 HOW TO CONFIGURE GT STEERING WHEEL
How to Configure GT Steering Wheel
1
GT Steering Wheel receives its configuration parameters from EVO4, so you must configure EVO4 in order to make
GT Steering Wheel display your data correctly.
Therefore, select GT Steering Wheel as the display in EVO4 configuration.
GT Steering Wheel pages, shift lights and alarms configuration is done using the Race
Studio 2 software.

Pages Configuration
2
GT Steering Wheel is able to fully configure up to nine pages, allowing you to view your data in user definable and very customizable ways.
Select the “Pages” tab to enter the Pages
Configuration panel.
Custom pages are all disabled by default.
2 n Lap Time: shows the lap time of the previous lap; n Rolling Time: shows the lap time for ten seconds, then shows the rolling time; n Predictive Time:
Shows a forecast of the current lap time; n +/- Best Time
Shows a prediction of the current lap time compared with the best lap of the session.
The first available page is:
RPM and lap time. (1) Here you can configure two channels and choose one of the different
Lap Time visualizations: (2)

CHAPTER 2 HOW TO CONFIGURE GT STEERING WHEEL
You can add up to four fields per page, defining also the short name that will describe that field.
Eight Freely Configurable Pages.
At the bottom of the list are the pages for Satellites and SmartyCam.
n Satellites
Satellites shows the level of GPS signal.
For the sake of precision, it is best to acquire data from at least eight satellites.
n SmartyCam
SmartyCam status shows the status of the camera, when connected to the system.
Of course, you can enable or disable each of these pages, simply clicking on the checkbox:

Click on the “Add new alarm event” button to add new alarms or click on the icon to the right to manage existing alarms.
When you click on the “Add new alarm event” button, the window below appears.
Here you can select the event the system will check and the effect of that event.
1 – Fill in the DESCRIPTION field, so you can easily identify the event in the future (1).
2 – Describe the Alarm: it can be a simple event, for example “water temperature is greater than 100 C°” (2)...

2
3 – ...or a combination of events, for example: “water temperature is greater than 100 C°” AND “Engine RPM is greater than 6000” (1)
4 – Then assign how a LED will respond when the event (or events) occurs:
You can have G-Dash turn on the LED and you can also select the LED color and the
LED behavior (solid or fast/slow blinking).
You can also define a text message (2)
