34 Configuration
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 a higher temperature to cover all other
situations.
The comparison values can be automatically incremented or (decremented)
when an alarm occurs. For example the engine temperature alarm may be set
at 95 °C with and increment of 5 °C, so the second time the alarm activates at
100 °C. A limit may be set on the number of times the comparison value is
allowed to increment. An alarm may return to its original value after a period
of time, in case the alarm condition was temporary.
The alarms can be dependent on the current display Mode (for example
Warm-up, Practice or Race).
Display Formatting
Units
All display units can be changed to suit the driver preferences, for example,
show temperatures in Fahrenheit rather than in Celsius.
Note: 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.
Other Functions
The C185 can perform many other functions accessible from the Functions
menu including the following:
• Shift Lights – to configure the shift point values for use with the Shift
Lights.
• Shift Light Module – to configure the C185 10 stage shift lights as well as
an additional MoTeC's SLM-C or SLM.
• Telemetry to set up telemetry channels
• Tell-tales Setup to store minimum or maximum values
• Engine Log Setup to set up four separate engine logs with separate
conditions
