[LW] [LW11] Engine Hours

[archi]

I have just purchased an Axiom 7 and am trying to setup engine hours. the engines involved are Volvo Penta AD41P's, which were driving analogue gauges. I have installed an Albatross Albacombi analogue to nmea2000 converter which is working well converting engine data and tank data. The only aspect of my old analogue gauges i am having difficulty with replacing is the engine hours element. The engines don't have a facility for this as the engine hours were recorded on the tachometer, presumably as a result of rpm indication. how do i get the Axiom to continue with the recording of the hours without a PGN data input for engine hours (i.e record off of the tacho activity) and how do i set the engine hours to the current hours.

Dear archi,

We will need the engine hour data to enable the function on the Axiom plotter. The

The requirement of the PGN sentence is necessary to display the data you require.

Many Thanks
