MFD Touch - Target Screen

Parameter

The gauge parameter is set as speed by default, but you can change it by pressing the Select button to open the parameter list. You can assign any data parameter that is available from the connected VBOX to the Target Graph (apart from UTC Time, Longitude, Latitude, Solution Type, Trigger, Filename, Logging Status, Memory Used, and
KF Status).
 

Note: The currently selected parameter data source is highlighted in blue and the currently selected parameter is displayed in grey in the options list.

Data Source Menu

Standard Parameter Menu

Use the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the selection screen to navigate through the options and press the desired parameter to confirm your selection.

Return to the settings screen by pressing the Exit button in the bottom left corner.
 

You can find a list of available parameters here.

Note: If a previously selected CAN channel parameter is no longer available, the values for that parameter will display as zero or nil. The parameter reference name will be greyed out and 'MISSING PARAMETER' will flash in the header of the screen.

Smoothing

You can smooth the Target data if required. The input value determines the number of previous data samples used to smooth the displayed data. It does not affect any of the performance results or the logged data of the connected unit.

To enable smoothing, press the current value (off by default) and use the presented keypad to enter the number of previous data samples you would like to use within the display smoothing.
 

Smoothing Value Keypad Example
 

Save your selected value by pressing the Confirm button in the bottom right corner. Press the Cancel button in the bottom left corner to return to the Settings screen without saving.
 

Notes:

• The maximum input value is 99.
• Smoothing can introduce a slight delay to the displayed value.

Target Value

The target value will be located at the centre of the gauge. You can define this by pressing the value box and using the presented keypad to define the required value (set as 240 by default).
 

Target Value Keypad Example
 

Save your selected value by pressing the Confirm button in the bottom right corner. Press the Cancel button in the bottom left corner to return to the Settings screen without saving.
 

Notes:

• The maximum input value is 99999.
• The minimum input value is -99999 (when the signed parameter is selected, otherwise 0).
• One decimal place resolution is available to values under 10000.

Tolerance (+/-)

Define the tolerance (target zone) displayed on either side of the target value. You can define the colour used for this zone (red by default) by pressing on the Target Zone option in the Colours settings area.
 

The value is set to 2 by default, but you can press the value box and use the presented keypad to define the required value. By using the default +/- tolerance value of 2 as an example, for a target value of 100, the target zone would be from 98 – 102.
 

Target Tolerance Keypad Example
 

Save the selected value by pressing the Confirm button in the bottom right corner. Press the Cancel button in the bottom left corner to return to the Settings screen without saving.

Target Range  

This option defines the range of the background bar (set as 10 by default). You can change the colour used for this bar (green by default) by pressing on the Bar option in the Colours settings area.

To change the range value, press the value box and use the presented keypad to select the required value. Using the default range value of 10 as an example, for a target value of 100, the bar range would be from 95 – 105.
 

Target Range Keypad Example
 

Save the selected value by pressing the Confirm button in the bottom right corner. Press the Cancel button in the bottom left corner to return to the Settings screen without saving.
 

Notes:

• The maximum input value is 9999.
• The minimum input value is double the Target Value Tolerance setting.
• One decimal place resolution is available to values under 1000.

Axis Spacing

The Axis Spacing value tells you how much spacing there is between each gauge increment marker. This value changes depending on the Target Range Value.

Tolerance

This option allows you to define whether the alert is for a value Out of (default) or Within the Defined Target Value Tolerance. Press the button to change the option.

LED

Select this setting to enable a solid or flashing visual alert when the Defined Target Value Tolerance is met. Press the button to cycle through the options. The device will preview the setting with the 4 red LEDs across the top of the unit.
