User Manual for the GSC400 Programmer and PC Interface
Create Sender Table – This section creates the sender table. The user must
enter a minimum of five data pairs to a maximum of 17 pairs in the table. In
addition there are four other parameters the user must enter located below the
table. These are:
1. Name – the name of the sender table that will appear in the list in the
Sender Display Area.
2. Controller Name – The name that will appear in the GSC400 controller
Analog Inputs menu. This is limited to 8 characters.
3. Sender Units – The units of the table data values. This selection will
change depending on the Sender Type Tab you clicked on. For oil
pressure for example the units can be kPa or psi.
4. Sender Resistance – “Low” (Low Impedance Sender) or “High” (High
Impedance Sender). A low impedance sender has a maximum resistance
less than 500 Ohms. A high impedance sender has a maximum
resistance above 500 Ohms.
The user can click the “Build Sender Table” button to build the table and add
it to the Sender Display Area. The sender tables for the Fuel level must be
entered from the GSC400 controller itself. For firmware revisions 2.00
and above PC Interface revision 2.0.2 and above can be used to
configure the table from the analog input tab. Refer to the GSC400 User
Manual on how to enter the fuel level data.
Import / Export Area – Used to save, “save to file” or “load from file” a copy of
all the sender tables in the utility.
Export – This button is used to create a separate backup file of all the
sender tables that the user can name and store where they like.
Import -- To restore these, the Import button is used and this loads all the
sender tables from the file into the Sender Display Area for all the tabs.
This overwrites tables that already in the utility.
Save – This button causes the Utility to save the tables. The Utility also
automatically saves the sender tables when it is closed.
Sender Display Area – The preloaded tables and sender tables that are created
by the user are stored in a list in this area. Selecting a table in the list causes the
data for the sender table to be listed in the table to the right and below the list
box. The user can also delete, save, and load a table from file.
Read Senders Area – This section is used to read the sender table data stored
on the controller. The user clicks the “Load Tables from Controller” button to
initial a read. The tables are loaded in the text boxes and the sender data can be
viewed using the “V” buttons to the right of each text box.
