Backups
Whenever a file is saved, the previous contents of the file are saved in the
‘Save Backups’ directory. The total number of backup files is limited to 100.
When a file is sent to the ACL, the existing ACL data is retrieved and stored in
the ‘From Dash Backups’ directory, this is in case the data in the ACL needs
to be restored. The total number of these backup files is limited to 10.
File Management
The configuration files may be renamed, deleted, sent to another disk etc by
clicking the right mouse button on the desired file when the Open File screen
is displayed.
Changing the Configuration
Once an existing configuration file has been opened or a new one created,
the various parts of the configuration may be modified by choosing the
appropriate items from the main menu. The configuration setup items are
accessed from the main menu items: Inputs, Calculations and Functions.
Setup Details
For details on each of the ACL Manager setup screens click on the Help
button that is provided on each screen.
Configuration Sequence
The configuration is best setup in the following order:
1. Inputs (Input Pins & Communications)
2. Calculations (Lap Time, Fuel Prediction etc)
3. Functions (Logging, Display, Alarms, Auxiliary Outputs etc)
This simplifies the setup procedure by ensuring that the required channels are
available for the functions that use them.
Note Channels cannot be used until they have been generated by an input,
calculation or function.
