The sensor mounts on the throttle butterfly shaft. The cable plugs directly to an analog input connector on the loom.
Use the Test Sensor function of MSELog to show the throttle position. Adjust the sensor on the shaft to read as near as practical to 100% with the throttle fully open. Note the reading when the throttle is closed.
Select Throttle Angle from the point name menu, and either Generic 0 to 100% or Volts 0 to 5 from the sensor name menu. Generic 100% to 0 may be used if the throttle shaft rotates in the reverse direction. It is recommended to select zero decimal places for the percentage sensor names and two decimal places for the voltage sensor name. A minimum sample rate of 5 samples per second is recommended.

The sensor mounts behind the throttle pedal or other throttle linkage. The cable plugs directly to an analog input connector on the loom. This sensor can also be used for measuring linear travel of other devices.

The sensor mounts in a position adjacent to the steeringcolumn. It is intended to be belt or gear driven from the steering column. The cable plugs directly to an analog input connector on the loom.
Use the Test Sensor function of MSELog to show the steering position. Adjust the pully or gear to read 50% or 2.5 Volts with the steering in the straight ahead position. The ratio of the linkage should be designed to allow for the full steering range without causing the sensor to go beyond its full travel.
Select Steering Angle from the point name menu, and either Generic 0 to 100% or Volts 0 to 5 from the sensor name menu. It is recommended to select zero decimal places for the percentage sensor names and two decimal places for the voltage sensor name. A minimum sample rate of 5 samples per second is recommended.
