MFD Touch - Bar Graph Screen

Parameter

The Bar Graph 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 Bar 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 actual parameter used is displayed in grey within 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.

To return to the settings screen press the Exit button in the bottom left corner.
 

You can find a list of the 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

If required, you can have the Bar Graph data smoothed. 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 for the display smoothing.
 

Smoothing Value Keypad Example

Notes:

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