-====== Aftermarket Sensor Installation ====== 
-You can datalog a number of aftermarket sensors with ECMLink. ​ These primarily include pressure sensors, temperature sensors, and wideband kits.  For a complete list of supported sensors, visit the [[ExternalSensorList|supported sensors]] page. 
  
-The following is a high-level overview of the process of connecting an aftermarket sensor to the ECU for logging. 
- 
-  - Regardless of which sensor is being used, the process for installation is almost always the same.  You start by installing the sensor according to the manufacturer'​s installation instructions. ​ This will include running power and ground and whatever else the sensor needs to get. 
-  - Once that's done and the sensor appears to be installed and working properly, you select an [[ExternalSensorInput|available input]] on the ECU to which you will connect the sensor'​s output. ​ You disconnect the factory sensor that was providing signal data to the ECU on the selected line and then connect your new sensor'​s output instead. 
-  - Once that's done, go into the **ECU Inputs** tab and assign the sensor to an input pin for logging (be __sure__ to hit "Save Pin Assignments"​ after making a change to the pin assignments). ​ Once you've done that, you can add the sensor to the ECU's list of things to log by pulling up the Captured Values dialog (F10).
