  • Page 87 The next example shows a simple unit conversion operation. Find the Convert Deg C to Deg F in the Scalars tab. This Scalar operation uses a Scalar value of 1.8 and an offset value of 32. Applying this Operation results in the following math expression.
  • Page 88 CAN Receive The Dash is a CAN display dash. The CAN receive tab of the Setup Editor must be defined for proper functionality. The steps involved in defining a CAN message structure from scratch is outside the scope of this manual. However, the system includes a robust CAN .dbc import feature that greatly simplifies the process.
  • Page 89 Scalars Operation The scalar sensor applies a gain (if specified) to the input which is then multiplied by the scalar and the offset added. If signed is ticked and the gain is not set to NONE, the input is treated as a twos compliment number.
  • Page 90 To edit the function table, click the ellipsis button (...) to show the function table editor: Ensure there are no duplicate inputs as this may result in abnormal behavior. Rate Filters Operation An output using a rate filter checks that the rate of change of the input value does not exceed a specified amount. If the rate of change is too high the new data is discarded.
  • Page 91 The Time Filter parameters have the following meanings: · Update period: Specifies the rate at which values are sent to outputs and gauges used by this output. For example, if the Update Period is set at 1000, a gauge displaying the value from this output will update once per second.
  • Page 92 To create a bit text operation, add a name for the operation in the Bit text tab and click on the (...) button to show the bit text editor: The priority determines the order in which the bitmasks are evaluated with low numbers being a higher priority.

They use minimum, maximum and resolution in the same manner as bars but also have labeled resolution lines, the frequency of which is specified by the label frequency property.
  • Page 111 Text Label Gauge The Text Label gauge is a static gauge (it has no input) that is used to label other gauges and provide static information to the user. The text displayed in the gauge is set in the Text property. The Direction property is used to specify the direction in which the text is drawn in.
  • Page 112 Value Gauge The Value Gauge shows the value of the output specified in the Input property according to the format specified in the Format property. The Justification property specifies whether the text is aligned to the left, right or centre of the bounding rectangle.
  • Page 113 Progressive Limit Gauge The Progressive Limit gauge is typically used to signal an approaching rev limit by means of several boxes that change color as the rev limit approaches. This gauge has the following special properties: · Box Count is the number of boxes in the gauge. ·...
  • Page 114 Updated Alarm Bar color mapping function allows for Alarm Bar colors to dynamically change between different colors based on assigned channel values. There are 12 different color mapping configurations to choose from. To create a color mapped Alarm Bar, first create a new Output channel – for example ThrottlePosBar. Set Operation to Color Map Operation and then click on the ellipses (“…”).
  • Page 115 Set the input to the appropriate channel and check Drive Color Directly From Input. All other Alarm Bar functions beyond this are the same as previous versions. For firmware version 14x17 and older: The color value is specified as a 24 bit RGB value. The hexadecimal (and decimal) values of some common colors are shown below: Color Hexidecimal...
