I regret my lack of knowledge, but could someone enlighten me, in a very layman's manner, why you could not hook up a sensor to provide readings to two instruments. No, I am not planning to do it as it is my understanding it does not work, but what is the reason it does not work. Is it that too little power is generated to signal two gages, does one interfere with the other. It would seem that the same data would be sent, such as if two people are looking at the same color and both seeing it as red and then saying it is red. I have been curious about this for a while and as I wait for my new Dynon engine monitor to supplement my rotary RWS engine monitor I thought I would ask. Thanks.

Nati,
Not any one particular because I don't know that much about it except I have been told that you just can't do it. I guess the ones I was most curious about would be temps, ie oil and in my rotary, coolant and pressure, oil, coolant and fuel. The one I have on there now are VDO that were provided by the engine monitor from RWS (Tracy Crooks aviation rotary business). I am not sure what will be provided with the Dynon, which should be in transit as I type.
Thanks for the interest.

To start answering your question it would be interesting to know what gauge you are referring to because the answer will differ from one gauge to the other. For some you can actually monitor the same signal with two gauges (some RPM gouges are just good example)
What exact type of gauge you are referring to?

Some you can easily, some you cannot (depends on the gauge and the monitors), some you can do with a bit of finagling.
Let me know exactly what you will be using for the sensor and the two instruments and I can give you suggestions.
I have a number of sensors that I share between my Blue Mountain EFISOne and a Grand Rapids 4000. Most were pretty easy to share.
