Introducing The AEM CAN Dash
The AEM Color Dash Display and CAN Logger includes the AEM Dash color display and AEM DashDesign editing
software. Screen pages are designed graphically. The screen layout displayed in AEM DashDesign is identical to
the layout displayed on the AEM Dash.
In addition to the graphical display editor, AEM DashDesign also provides a comprehensive setup editor to program
the input, output and mathematical functionality of the AEM Dash.
Once created, setups are uploaded to the AEM Dash via a USB link.
