Default Amp Monitor

You know of anything; like a tool and/or a plug-in device that I can use to monitor my amps? Preferably a tool AND a plug-in device while running around.

I've used the Novak setup before, it works pretty well. Initial setup can be a bit of a pain but once it's functioning properly it's a really powerful tool.

Hey thanks Steve . I remember a couple year back, I ran into one that displayed voltage and RPMs right on a screen that was plugged in and it saved it on there. It wasn't the the Venom speed monitor thing either... this thing would display a lot of info. Flight guys use it a lot I guess but you could still use it for Land and Sea. Still don't know what that was... oh well. The Novak and Eagle Tree System seems more tech than that thing.

EDIT: http://www.eagletreesystems.com/Car/car.html , that's it! Wow, thanks Steve!!! Real time stats and you can still analyze it on a PC.

As others gave alluded to, some higher end radio systems offer some pretty powerful telemetry systems provided that you have the right sensors. That way you can view data in real time as opposed to having to view it on a PC. Obviously the computer based ones offer more data analysis and graphing options though.
