Units

The display units can be changed to suit the driver, for example the driver
may prefer to see the engine temperature in Fahrenheit rather Celsius. This is
independent of the units used for other purposes.

Decimal Places

The number of decimal places can be reduced for display purposes, for
example the engine temperature is measured to 0.1

°C but is better displayed

with no decimal places. This is normally done automatically.

Alarms

When an alarm is activated a message is shown on the bottom line of the
display, a warning light can also be activated which is recommended to draw
the drivers attention to the display.

The message displayed can be defined and can also include the current
sensor reading or the sensor reading when the alarm was triggered.

The alarms remain active until they are acknowledged, either by a driver
activated switch or automatically after a defined period of time.

The warning alarm limits are fully programmable and may include up to 6
comparisons to ensure that the alarms are only activated at the correct time.
For example, an engine temperature alarm may activate at 95

°C if the

ground speed has been above 50 km/h for 30 seconds. The speed
comparison avoids the alarm showing during a pit stop due to heat soak.
Additionally another comparison could be set at a higher temperature to cover
all other situations.
