MoTeC C125 - Manual (Page 48)

MoTeC Configuration 47
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 the second time the alarm activates at
100 °C. A limit may be set on the number of times the comparison value is
allowed to increment. An alarm may return to its original value after a period
of time, in case the alarm condition was temporary.
The alarms can be dependent on the current display Mode (for example
Warm-up, Practice or Race).
Display Formatting
Units
All display units can be changed to suit the driver preferences, for example,
show temperatures in Fahrenheit rather than in Celsius.
Note:
This is independent of the units used for other purposes.
Decimal Places
The number of decimal places can be reduced for display purposes, for
example the engine temperature is measured to 0.1 °C but is better displayed
with no decimal places.
Display Creator DBC File Setup
When using Display Creator, communications and channels need to be set
up. To automate this, a DBC file is created when the Dash Manager
configuration is saved. This file can then be imported into Display Creator.
The Display Creator Channels and Display Creator Settings tabs are used to
set the definitions for creation of the DBC file. This file is then imported into
DisplayCreator to automate the communications and channels setup.
Display Creator Channels tab
This tab is used to select the channels to include in the DBC file. The DBC file
is created when the configuration is saved.
The DBC file is imported by Display Creator to automate the setup of
communications and channels.
Note:
Channels selected in the Display Creator Setting tab must also be
selected in this list for them to be included in the DBC file.
