ETA Channel

Overview

ETA channels are used to compute an estimated time of arrival.

ETA channels output a time value and any gauges must have an appropriate time format specified.

Options

Distance

Select a channel with the distance remaining to the destination. The channel should have appropriate units, see Conversion below.

Speed

Select a channel with the vehicle speed. The channel should have appropriate units, see Conversion below.

Conversion

The ETA channel computes the time, in seconds using the equation:

('Distance' * 3600) / 'Speed'

This is then converted to a time value.

Since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, it is expected that the speed is in distance/hour.

So the following options are viable for the input units of the Distance and Speed channels:

• Distance [km], Speed [kph]
• Distance [mi], Speed [mph]
