9.3 First display configuration (Quick Start)

This chapter explains the configuration of a display element showing the battery voltage.

See chapter Display element configuration for a detailed instruction to configure display

elements.

Click on ‘+’ to expand the DDU 9 project tree.

Click on ‘+’ to expand ‘Display’.

Double-click on ‘New Page’, or click on the ‘Display’ tab.

RaceCon changes to the page ‘Display’ to open the DDU 9 display configuration area.

Click '+'

Double-click

Drag any display element from the Toolbox and drop it on the display page.

The status signal in the upper left corner switches from green to orange, because the

configuration in the tool differs from the configuration of the device.
