Fuel Remaining or Laps Remaining The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed 8 Overview Display Formatting Units The display units can be changed to suit the driver for example the driver may prefer to see the engine temperature in Fahrenheit rather Celsius 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 This is normally done automatically 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 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
