Gauge Alerts

Many gauges have the ability to show an alert and optionally play an audio alert. For Graphic

gauges alerts can be assigned to their Warning and Danger ranges. For Text gauges alerts can be

assigned to the Engine Status and TPMS gauges.

There are numerous options associated with gauge alerts as listed below:

 Show Warning/Danger Alert - shows one or both of the alerts.

 Show Gauge Only on Alerts - shows the gauge only when an alert occurs. There is a

portrait dash in the Dash Repository that demonstrates this option.

 Show Only Driving Alerts - shows the alerts only while driving (vehicle in motion).

 Alert Count - the number of times to play the audio alert when an alert occurs and the App

is in the foreground. If the App is in the background (not visible), the audio alert will sound

continuously until the App is displayed.

 Alert Timeout - the time in seconds that the alerts will be shown before automatically

dismissed. This is handy if you can't reach the mobile device easily to dismiss the alert

yourself.

 Audio Alert - this is set in the Settings page and can be changed to any valid audio file.

If you have simultaneous multiple alerts, they will be showed stacked on top of each other. Alerts

will also be shown as a device notification.
