OK
Will add
AVC=Alternator current output
ET= Engine temp
FR= Fuel remaining
FT= Fuel temp
HPR=?
LHK=Lires per 100-km?
LP=?
TFC=?
TPS=?
WT=?
Any ideas what the question marks stand for?

Sorry, what is this for?
Something you made up or is this existing gauges that are in the Scangauge?
TPS, throttle position sensor. Most seem made up abbreviations so forgive me if the post is confusing.

Have a Scan gauge and limited intelligence
What i am trying to achieve is a quick check list of all acronyms featured on the scan gauge dial and what they stand for
I am making an assumption that the other brand gauge codes are similar
Once complete i can leave in the car for quick reference
Figuring if i have trouble deciphering the acronyms so do others, there fore they can copy the list?
Merry xmas Stew, keep up the good work

Thanks mate, you too.
Not all are the same, but why not flick an email to the manufacture in the US, no the Aus reseller and they may just reply with what they class them all as. From memory you just submit a ticket on their site.
Saves guessing anyway.

There are standard gauges that come preprogrammed and have a 3 letter acronym or identifier for each gauge.
However, any that you programme yourself through XGauge you can use anything you like to call it. It's a 3 letter maximum, so it can be a challenge to think of something that's unique but still makes sense.

Thanks to Bala 1 ability to deduce acronyms, please find a list for Scan Gauge users
Stewart, suggest a change of acronyms for tyre pressure to LH1, RH2, LH3 & RH4 due to a clash with LHR = Litre per hour

Well done. If you are happy with it then I will move it to the Scangauge area?
