Speed / Odometer / Trip

Overview

The Speed / Odometer Tab provides configuration of a common Speed Input channel and the built-in Odometer function, along with trip setup features.

Speed Setup

Select an input for the Speed Input channel. The Speed Input channel will output the same units of its input channel.

The vehicle speed is typically used in a number of places in display setups and Speed Input offers a single place to define the speed channel.

The channel being input to Speed Input is required to specify a speed unit so that correct physical unit conversions can be applied where needed.

If there is a misconfiguration here then the Setup Checker will issue a warning.

e.g.

Error: Speed Input source ‘Road Speed’ does not have units of speed.

Odometer Setup

The Odometer is an internal counter backed up to non-volatile memory that cannot be reset. It is set to zero when the unit is built.

Select an output that is road speed and has units of speed. Typically the predefined “Speed Input” channel will be used here and will be set by default.

The software will arrange to convert units to [km/s] for correct functioning of the odometer.

An predefined Odometer channel will be available which is scaled in km and can be displayed on the screen.

Trip Setup

Predefined trip related settings may be configured here.

Fuel Input

Fuel Input defines the input used to calculate total fuel, trip fuel and fuel used. The fuel input can either be a Fuel Level input (which decrements as fuel is used) or a Fuel Used input (which increments as the fuel is used).

Distance Input

Distance Input defines the input used to calculate trip distance and countdown distance. This should be in either km or miles.

Trip Options

Select a trip counter to configure from the drop-down box. The trip counters are all configured to use the common Fuel Input and Distance Input channels, where appropriate.

Distance Calibration Factor

Distance Calibration Factor defines the initial value of the distance calibration factor. All ‘co-driver’ distances are multiplied by the calibration before being displayed.

Countdown Distance

Countdown Distance Trip defines the initial and reset values of the countdown trip. See also Distance Countdown Channel .

Interval Distance / Total Distance Trip

Resolution defines the display resolution of these trip meters. See also Distance Trip Channel .

Fuel Total / Fuel Interval

Configure the fuel trip meters as-per Fuel Channel

Countdown Timer

Specify the initial (and reset) values for the countdown timer.

Also specify the amount the timer is incremented and decremented by during increment/ decrement events by setting the Delta value in seconds.

The events for controlling the Countdown Timer may be specified here.
