The Dashboard output is just a "copy" of the data being sent across the radio/tether between the RC and the OI (think of the Dashboard as spying on the communications). That data protocol is proprietary to IFI (with good reason!) and unfortunately there isn't a way to "change" the data being output. There is also no way to synchronize the data communications for faster throughput of data in the user_bytes variable (since the computer cannot control any aspect of the input to the OI). You could "label" data packets pretty easily, and have your Dashboard process the user_byte information "smartly", you just need to be careful to use the PutData command correctly in your RC code.
