I'm not very sure about android APP. You can use the Z1 dashboard client on your second monitor, or forth if you have triple screen. Second monitor can also be a small lcd display 7" connected to your PC for example. There are also options for that you make your android / iOs tablet to work with your PC as second screen, but I think there is more lag on the tablet screen that way, so dashboard would be laggy, but maybe I'm wrong.
The Z1 Dashboard runs on Windows operating systems only. With that said people do use the Android devices to display the Z1 Dashboard. They use software such as AirDisplay or TwoMon to make Windows see the Android device as a monitor. The device is then connected to the sim PC using a USB cable. You run the Z1 Dashboard on the sim PC and drag the display onto the Android device.
Thanks, I tried TwoMonUsb (http://www.easynlight.com/en/twomonusb/) and it works well. Doesn't seem to interfere with the existing Nvidia surround setup on three screens, which is nice.
The Z1 Dashboard pioneered allowing multiple dashboards to be associated with a car. With version 4.8 it is even simpler to assign dashboards to a car as you no longer have to start the sim in order to customize the car. Watch this video to see how.

We are really excited to announce the availability of the new SMZ1 GT wheel! This wheel incorporates the same screen and LED configuration that is found on the SMZ1 F1 wheel, but is designed with GT cars in mind. It comes with a carbon fiber face plate and your choice of either a Sparco 310mm or Momo 320mm wheel. It has up to 10 buttons, 4 three way toggles and 6 rotaries for controlling even the most elaborate GT car. In addition it has SMC magnetic snap action shifters. And of course it runs the Z1 Dashboard software! For more details please visit http://www.z1simwheel.com/smz1/gt.cfm?source=rf2
One of the great features of the Z1 Dashboard is its ability to automatically change the dashboard upon entering the pits to whichever one you wish. This video explains the four options the Z1 Dashboard provides you for selecting when that dash should be displayed. Download the demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2
Version 4.9.0 of the Z1 Dashboard is now available! You can download the new demo here: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2 The highlights of this new version are: * Compatibility with Sector 3's Race Room sim * Speech has been incorporated into the Dashboard, allowing it to tell you various items of data from lap times, to sector times, fuel data, laps, and more. * There is now a tracked drivers list. You can use this to keep track of any drivers you like. When you are near those drivers the Z1 will alert you to their presence. If you run iRacing you can even have their car painted a certain color for easy recognition. Existing users can download the update here: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/MyDashboard.cfm Here is the full list of updates: * Sector 3's Race Room simulation is now supported. * Added speech options. The Dashboard can now speak to you, giving you countdowns to your pit stall, and information such as lap times, fast lap, positions and laps of fuel remaining if you need to pit and the current lap number. This can be customized in the Speech tab of the settings dialog. The Enabled Speech checkbox must be ticked for speech to work. The Volume, Speed and Pitch trackbars allow you to adjust how the voice sounds. The actual voice used is the one selected in the Control Panel -> Speech Recognition -> Text To Speech window of Windows. * For best speech results you should adjust the volume for the Z1 Dashboard in the Volume Mixer to be 100%, along with system volume. Then set your sim's volume to about 50%. This allows you to hear the voice over the engine noise within the sim. Note this might mean you have to increase the volume of specific sounds within your sim as well for best results. * There are currently 10 messages that can be spoken. To have the Z1 speak a particular message automatically make sure you have that message's checkbox ticked. The text field next to the message is the text that will be spoken. You may enter any text you like into these fields. * The welcome message is spoken up the Z1 starting up. This might be necessary on some systems to get the Z1 recognized on the Volume Mixer. It is also just fun to have the Z1 welcome you when you start it up. * The Pit Stall Countdown announcement will come on when you engage the pit limiter or enter the pit lane (depending on how you have the Z1 setup). It will only work on sims that provide information on the location of your pit stall (currently this is only iRacing). You can choose how the message is spoken and the frequency with which the distances are given. The distances relate to the units you have chosen in the Z1 General tab. * The automatic announcement of the lap times, fast lap, position, laps of fuel, whether you need to pit and the lap number are all done after you cross the start/finish line to complete a lap. * You can have the Z1 Dashboard speak sector times and deltas to your best times in the session if you like. Note this feature is not available for all sims. * You can also assign buttons to speak various pieces of information, or all the information at any time you wish. These options are available under the Buttons tab. * Added a tracked driver list feature. This allows you to add drivers to what we call your 'tracked' list of drivers. This is intended to be a list of drivers you feel you can race closely with, or drivers who you need to give a bit more room to when racing. There is a tab in the settings dialog called 'Tracked' which allows you to view those drivers on the list, to remove drivers from the list, and to adjust settings for the display of those drivers. * Several dashboards (the Ahead/Behind, Track Map 1, Track Map 3, and Standings) will display if a driver is on your tracked list. The Ahead/Behind dash will highlight the title bar and display the words 'tracked driver' for any driver on your tracked list. The Track Map 1 and 3 dashboards will highlight the driver's name if they are a tracked driver. The Standings dashboard will underline the driver's name if they are a tracked driver. * There are four button functions that can be used to adjust who is on your tracked driver list. These buttons allow you to add the driver ahead of you or behind you to the list, or to remove the driver ahead or behind you from the list. These buttons can be set in the Buttons tab of the settings dialog. * In addition if you are running iRacing then you can specify a minimum iRating. Any driver under that iRating will automatically be added to your tracked driver list. The minimum iRating can be set in the Tracked tab of the settings dialog. * The color used to highlight a tracked driver can be set in the Tracked tab of the settings dialog. * If you are running iRacing then you can also choose to have the cars of all drivers who are on your watch list to be painted in a specific color. If the Update Paint Jobs option in the Tracked tab is set to either 'All' or 'Changes' then the Z1 Dashboard will update the paint jobs of each driver's car from the tracked list when the Z1 exits. The 'All' setting will update the paint jobs of every driver on the list. The 'Changes' settings will update the paint job for only those drivers who have just been added or removed from the list. This is the preferred option because it takes less time upon application exit to write the paint jobs. However if you are using an application such as Trading Paints to automatically update paint jobs, then having the Z1 write out all drivers may be preferable. * Note that only the first instance of the Z1 Dashboard will update the paint jobs, and that instance must be running on the same machine as the sim. If it is running through the Z1 Server on a remote machine then it will not update the car paint jobs. * The paint folder for iRacing can be specified in the Tracked tab of the settings dialog. By default it is documents/iracing/paint. * The Buttons 1 and Buttons 2 tabs have been combined into a single Buttons tab. There is a scroll bar on the right of that tab to allows you to access all options. * There is now a kiosk mode. This can be turned on in the General settings tab. When on, this will cycle through the selected dashboard with a description of each one. It is intended to trade shows or similar situations. * Connectivity to the Z1 Server when using multiple instances of the Dashboard has been improved. * Removed support for Assetto Corsa Technical Preview. * Added another Assetto Corsa connectivity method (Option 3). This may help some people who were having issue with the Z1 Dashboard never disconnecting from Assetto Corsa. * If you try to connect to an out of date plugin, the version number of that plugin will be saved in the log file. This should make it easier to determine which plugin the Z1 thinks you have installed. * The Z1 Server will now remember your settings moving forward. (So they won't get overwritten when you install future updates.) Download the demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2

The Z1 Dashboard shift lights can be set up to take advantage of DRS if the car supports it. This video explains how you can setup the shift lights within the Z1 Dashboard to display DRS. Download the demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2
The Z1 Analyzer allows you to compare your lap with laps from other drivers. Just download a lap and the Z1 Analyzer will tell you where you are faster and slower and how to can improve. We have 2,700 laps available for download, and more being added every day. We have created a new page on our website which shows the number of laps available for each supported sim, broken down by track and car. In addition the fastest lap time available for the car and track combination is also listed. You can check it all out here: http://z1simwheel.com/analyzer/availableLaps.cfm Don't forget to download the Z1 Analyzer demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2
We've got some great news! The Z1 Dashboard is now used in some simulators by Porsche! It has definitely come a long way from its humble beginnings to become one of the best dashboard and analytic platforms for sim racing available. Coming in version 4.10.0 of the Z1 Dashboard - the Cosworth Porsche dashboard for the 911 GT3 Cup Car! These dashboards were developed by us in cooperation with SimDev technology for use in Porsche's simulator. This gave us incredible access to data on these dashboards! We will be bringing 10 variations of the dashboard to the Z1 Dashboard software in version 4.10.0. Enjoy this video showing the simulator running the Z1 Dashboard software, and a quick preview of one of the dashboards. Download the demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2
It is here! Version 4.10.0 of the Z1 Dashboard is now available! With 10 new dashboards, numerous improvements to speech, analysis and sim integration this is an update you don't want to miss! Each of the new GT3 dashboards can be displayed with or without the shift lights LEDs and/or the side warnings LEDs. We've posted pictures of the 5 versions without shift light LEDs here. Download the demo today: http://z1simwheel.com/dashboard/demo.cfm?source=rF2 GT3 dashboard race page 1 (engine parameters): GT3 dashboard race page 2 (fuel parameters): GT3 dashboard race page 3 (tire parameters): GT3 dashboard race page 4 (lap deltas): GT3 dashboard pit page: Here is the full list of release notes for this version: * Added 10 new dashboards! See below for details. * Added the Cosworth Porsche Race Dashboards. There are four variations, numbered R1 - R4. These correspond to the variations in the actual car. Each of these versions has two variants, the standard version and a B version. The B version does not include the shift light LEDs and uses the maximum amount of space for the 'screen' display. That makes a total of 8 race dashboards! Note because not all sims support the 4 left and 4 right indicator LEDs, they can be hidden on the standard versions by turning off the Show Extras option for the car. * Added the Cosworth Porsche Pit Dashboard. As with the Race dashboards, there is a B variant which does not include the shiftlight LEDs. And on the standard version the left and right indicator lights can be hidden by turning off the Show Extras option. * Updated Assetto Corsa engine to take advantage of the latest additions to the Shared Memory API. * There is now an option in the Strategy tab to enter the pit speed limit to be used. This can be used when the speed limit is not supplied by the sim, or you want to override the supplied speed limit. * Improved the scroll bars used in the settings dialog tabs. * Improved the registration methods. * Various improvements to the speech options. * You no longer have to have the pit info dashboard displayed in order for the pit lane countdown speech option to work. It will now work with any dashboard. Note currently iRacing is the only sim that supports this option. * Various updates and improvements to many dashboards. * There is now an option in the Buttons tab to turn off the check for POV switches. If you turn this off, then the joystick buttons check will only look for actual buttons inputs, and not POV inputs. * Updated the Z1 Server settings dialog buttons tab to use the same scroll bar layout as the Z1 dashboard. * The Mark Data button option has been added to the Z1 Server. This allows you to place a data marker in telemetry that is being recorded by the Z1 Server. It will also send a message to the Z1 Dashboard to display the message about the marker being placed, and also tell the Dashboard to place the same marker in any data it is recording. * The Z1 Server now supports buttons for adding or removing the car ahead or behind you on track to or from the tracked driver list. This allows the tracked driver list on the Dashboard running on a remote PC to maintain an up-to-date tracked driver list in the same way the Dashboard running on the sim PC can do so. * The Network tab now allows you to specify which sims should be checked for activity during the "Waiting For Sims" screen. Turning off the checks for sims that you don't use can improve response time and resources when scanning for sims. * The Dashboard will now check the Z1 Analyzer database to see if there are laps that match the current sim, track and car and if there are will display those results (numbers of laps and fastest lap time available) in the Standings display of the garage screens. This allows you to easily see if there is a lap in the Z1 Analyzer that you would compare yourself against in order to see where you could gain time. This option can be turned off by unchecking the Z1 Analyzer checkbox in the Network tab. * The sector times have been implemented with Automobilista and RaceRoom. Both the speech and text displays will speak/show them now. * Updated RaceRoom integration to work with their latest API. * RaceRoom ghost car no longer shows up on the list of drivers or track map during a practice session.

Did you usb tether your tablet? Did you notice any lag? I'm running it on my surface pro through Wi-Fi but getting too much lag and there seems to be no way to connect it to my PC through a cable. Will definitely get this app for my Android tablet if it cures it.
We use a Surface Pro for testing as well and have it connected using a USB to Ethernet adapter. It works really well. For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M77HMU...t=&hvlocphy=9003432&hvtargid=pla-195027879195
The server has all of a sudden stopped working. When I start it the window comes up with no in all of the boxes ie, transmitting data, connected to client etc and windows comes up with z1server.exe has stopped working. The only thing I've done is change my modem. Do I need to open a port through my modem? I hadn't needed to before with the previous modem.. I've tried reparing the folder and also reinstalling but to no avail Just had a look in the log.txt and it's saying "Could not bind name to socket". Not sure if that'll help. I also tried installing an older version and that didn't seems to help. It always closes after saying z1server.exe has stopped working
Hi, I installed the latest version, when I look at the delta best, it seems to work on the last lap, while I want to work on the best saved, how do I set it up?
