In the post immediately above yours look at the lower left of the screen capture. Display options - "Normal" will include in the side bar. Option - "Hide" will exclude it.

There is no NORMAL for me. Just AUTO and HIDE -

Its a while since I changed this setting. It may depend on how many scales are already displayed on EIS. Perhaps you have no room for another scale.

I do not display any electrical parameters on EIS and don't wish to. All my currents and voltages will alert if abnormal.

I think you can show 5 items, it doesn't change the option to display, it just decides what to display. Try turning others off (take a picture first of configs you may want to restore) as I had to do to get mine the way I wanted it. And on that note, capture your config to SD card and then rename it on a computer such as date tagging it so you can keep a history of configs. The config area and options to save/load are near the top of the config screen.

I flew this morning and experimented when I got back. I was able to add battery amps to my EIS bar without changing anything else.

My options were - Hide, Normal, and Text Only.

Before change (Hide active)-

Available options -



With Normal selected


What GDU software version are you running?

I was interested to see what moved when Battery Amps was added -
