Use different tabs to group similar settings. For example, in the Simple driver below, the

Min Speed and Max Speed thresholds are used to set up the alert are on the Setup tab (see

Figure 11.6). The remaining variables are all related to the output signals and messages and

are grouped on their own Output tab.

Figure 11.6 – Example of Controls

The Min Speed, Max Speed, Duration (ms), UTC diff (hr) and Message labels are used to

clarify the functionality of each control.

Increment/decrement boxes are very handy for setting numerical values. You can set the

maximum of these controls as they relate to your application. Consider setting fractional

values using scientific units (e.g. milliseconds).

The drop-down box is useful for selecting a setting from a list. In Figure 11.6, it is assumed

that the real time clock is in UTC time. You can specify local time using the UTC hour

offset control.

The checkbox is a great way to enable or disable features and the edit box is a convenient

way to modify text strings.
