I would like to hook a J or K type thermocouple to the Dynon EMS to monitor my EarthX battery temperature. The battery is located on the firewall in the standard location for a Vans RV-7.

1. May I use the carb temp pin 4 and rename the device to battery heat? Renaming it seems easy but the process is not covered in the documentation that I have found.

2. I also have pins 10, 12, 28 and 29 available. Would one of those be better suited?

The documentation discusses using the three general purpose inputs but the discuss is only about MNO or MNC switches, not thermocouples.

Thanks

Scott
