Odometer Or Hours Selection (SEL ODOMETER - 0, HOURS - 1) Preparation for Programming
Make sure the price codes and price levels are loaded during the FMS start-up. Use Table 4-4,
to lay out your price codes and levels. Photocopy this sheet if you need more space.

Odometer Or Hours Selection (SEL ODOMETER - 0,
HOURS - 1)
The odometer or hours data is stored in a counter field. A single VM has 1 counter field, while
a dual VM has 2. The Programmer's Odometer or Hours Selection input prompt determines
whether the counter field following the selection, is used for odometer or for hours. Enter 0 if
the VM is to record odometer or 1 if it is to record engine hours. For a dual VM, the selection
prompt occurs twice, once for each counter.
Each counter field has an associated ratio field, described in detail later in this section, that
contains the number of pulses in a mile (odometer), or the number of time intervals in an hour
(hour meter). The maximum value of the counter field 1 ratio is 640000, and the maximum
counter field 2 ratio is 64000. Since some vehicle's odometer ratios may be higher than 64,000
pulses per mile, counter 1 should be used for odometer and counter 2 used for hours, in a dual
VM. Since a single VM uses only counter field 1, it can be programmed for either odometer or
hours, without worry of ratio limitations.
Odometer or Hours Entry (Enter ODOMETER)
This field allows you to enter decimal number up to 1 decimal place (maximum of 7 digits
before decimal). For odometer, enter the dashboard odometer reading. For hours, enter the
reading from the hour meter.
