====== Example Installation of an Aftermarket Sensor ======

The basic process for installing an external (aftermarket) sensor for datalogging use with DSMLink is pretty simple.  The details can get a little time consuming and tedious.  But the general idea is to do the following.

  - Install new device/sensor into vehicle per manufacturer's instructions.
  - Locate/determine device/sensors analog output wire.
  - Choose an available [[ExternalSensorInput|ECU input]] to which you will connect the sensor's output.  See the [[ECUWiringInformation|ECU wiring page]] for information on ECU connector pin numbers.
  - Connect the analog output wire to chosen ECU input.
  - In the DSMLink application add the new item to captured values list.

The following diagram, while specific to a Zeitronix WBO2 install on a 1G, is still useful in illustrating the general idea. It shows the Zeitronix kit (external sensor) and how the various types of connections are made to the ECU wiring and then a general description of how to proceed after that.
