using aftermarket temp. sensors on 7427 ecm's

[grumbolt]

i am using a different temp sending unit than what came in the vehicle my ecm came out of...
it originally had a 4l60e in it which has the internal sensor,
and i am using a 700r4 in its place which this one does not have a temp sensor on it that i have seen.
i ordered a sensor that will go into the pressure test port on the drivers side but i suspect it will give erroneous readings.
if it does in fact give wrong readings, i was wondering if any of you know how to calibrate it.

i am using bdyt as my starting bin.
i have deleted the egr, and added the fan code for engine and trans fan control (you guys are awesome btw)


Advanced $0D TP5 v251.xdf as the mask

and use
A217 $0D TP5 v250.adx
A218 Trans1 $0D TP5 v250.adx
A218 Trans2 $0D TP5 v250.adx

to be able to see/log the data.

the above files were obtained from this forum.

from what i can figure there are several datastreams that the dashboard / data logging get their information from.
can you display information from several datastreams on the same dashboard?
is there a way to combine the adx files so that all the different adx values are available?
how is the unique ID determined?
how do you determine the "Packet Offset (H | D)"

thanks in advance for your help.
