MoTeC Overview 5
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 2
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.
Data Logging
Data logging allows the sensor readings (or any calculated value) to be stored
in the SDL for later analysis.
Logging Memory
The SDL comes with an optional 8Mbytes log memory enabled. It is also
possible to purchase a ‘display only’ SDL without the memory option enabled.
Data is logged continuously logs data to memory whenever the Start
Condition is true (and the Stop Condition is false).
