Is there anyone using the sentry monitor function? I needed it today to measure % of throttle on a T4 controller and it didn’t seem to work. Tried it on two “bad” controllers, but doubt both would have a throttle problem. Possible it only works in a running car. Also possible that it only works with early fw. T1-T2 etc. Will someone connect to their car and help me out? I tried graphing the start switch plus throttle. That did not work either. This is a great trouble shooting tool. Must be someone using it. If not ill take you through it. ---

I have not advanced to the monitor function yet. It looks like it would be a handy thing to have in the bag of tricks. ---

Saw it in the software but never really pursued it. 7 psi deep tread turf tires and high performance sont usually mix… Do you use a 23pin wye cable or is it based on stored data from the controller? ---

Thanks Dave. Curious about it but also not sure if i have the time. The blue bomber the '10 el that you put the 2p volt pack in (first aftermarket lithum modded gem?) is headed to a new home soon. ---

> [@Gem\_e2](#): > > also see you are test with a T3 controller with software GL7L ? Also tried all the other sw in a T4. Nothing will read throttle %. I tried activating start switch and forward switch. Nothing. ---

Will T4 sw work in a T3? The T3 sw loads in a T4 ok. No way to test it though. I have 4 versions. gl4j gl7l gl4k gl8l Is there an older version that might work? ---

> [@Gem\_e2](#): > > T3 to test with better if gl4j will work Good info, I have an unknown T3 here. I can send it to someone. Will the T4 sw work in T3? GL8L etc. I just wonder why I can’t get Sentry to monitor throttle %. Other monitor functions work fine. ---

GL7L and GL8L are T3 sw
