multi switch 

A m

ulti switch

 is a switch that can assume two or more states. This can be used, for example, to 

switch different boost levels or to configure the control of the ABS. This function can be used to 
emulate a rotary potentiometer, for example, with your data display. 

 

 

 

Figure 49: Keypad with two switches and one multi switch in different states 

Like all other widgets, the Multiswitch is configurable in size and number of states with our DSS. 

The 

multi switch

 can have up to eight different statuses. Like the can switch, you can also change the 

multi switch

 in position (x/y coord) and size (

x/y size

).  

 

Figure 50: Configuration multi switch 

You can create the number one to four and, to control the Haldex, a fifth multiswitch. 

Font

 size 

configures the font size, 

state count

 defines how many states the 

multi switch

 can accept.  

Default

 val 

the state when starting the displays and state 

x val

 the values of the corresponding states. 

The last (fifth) multiswitch is for the Haldex widget. To do this, you first need a Haldex license. 
Contact your dealer to purchase a Haldex license for Gen1 and Gen2.
