Overview

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.
The comparison values can be automatically incremented or (decremented)
when an alarm occurs. For example the engine temperature alarm may be set
at 95
°C with and increment of 5°C, so that the second time the alarm
activates it activates at 100
°C. A limit may be set on the number of times the
comparison value is allowed to increment, also it may return to its original
value after a period of time, in case the alarm condition was temporary.
The alarms can also be dependent on the current display mode (Race,
Practice or Warmup)
Data Logging
Data logging allows the sensor readings (or any calculated value) to be stored
in the ADL for later analysis on a Personal Computer.
Logging Memory
The ADL comes with 8 Mbytes of logging memory. Various options determine
how much of the memory can be used and whether Fastest Lap Logging and
Burst Logging are enabled.
See the Options Summary in the Appendices for details.
