Using the Monitors - Sensors window

The Sensors tab displays the current values of the speed and temperature sensors including their status in real time.

Select Service > Monitor 1 > Sensors in the main window. If there is communication with a connected transmission control unit, the current sensor status is displayed automatically in real time.

If communication with a transmission control unit is not possible, this will be indicated by a at the bottom right of the window:

This message is also displayed when communication with a connected transmission control unit has been interrupted.

For help in the event of communication problems, please refer to: Communication problems.

Once you have eliminated the communication problems, click "Yes" if ALADIN is to re-establish communication with a transmission control unit. An existing communication is shown by the progress bar.
