Glossary of Terms
Arrangement:
A user selectable
‘gauge’ configuration which the active TFT’s display area being
configured supports. These arrangements are display/LCD glass and system specific, and can
include single or dual readouts, as well single, dual and even quad analog
and/or digital ‘gauge’
configurations.
Colors:
This sub-menu allows the user to select predefined factory schemes, or to customize
graphics and other displayed items to their own preferred color for: graphical accents, labels,
readings, scales, pointer/bar-gauge, warning indicators, and rotary control knob center illumination.
Note: Colors can be defined for both DAY and NIGHT operation, which is controlled by the
DIM input terminal on the Control Box.
Instrument Cluster:
The physical ‘gauge’ cluster or ‘gauges’ that install in the vehicle dash,
interfaces to the Control Box, and display the vehicle
’s information to the user.
Gauge:
A specific area in the selected
‘Arrangement’ of the layout that relays a system reading to
the user. Types of gauges include digital readings, analog-like meter movements, or even graphical
images such as GFORCE, compass heading, and air pressure settings (i.e. Air Ride and Tire
Pressure Monitoring System - TPMS).
Layout:
Is a collection of display and reading parameters in a specific style and dash system
configuration. There are 4 factory default layouts, and each layout includes its own user configurable
parameters (described below): theme, colors, gauge preference, and message feedback groups. By
selecting a layout, that layout can be edited to the
user’s preference and is then saved for future
recall and use.
Note: RESET ALL in the edit MAIN-SYSTEM-LAYOUT menu will reset the current layout to the
factory defaults for that layout.
Normal Operation:
Is defined as the GRAFIX system not displaying any menu or warning boxes on
the Instrument Cluster, and with the Message Center/Message Area line items clearly visible, along
with the gauges and readings on the selected layout.
Reading:
This is the selection of a particular
‘function’ that is desired to be displayed on the gauge
being configured. These selectable readings include the factory included readings (such as speed,
tach, oil, volt, water, fuel, etc.) as well as additional readings from any attached and configured BIMs.
If an analog meter reading is chosen, the available scales for that reading will also be selectable.
Region:
A specific location on the Instrument Cluster that the user can select and then edit for a
specific ‘Arrangement’ of the available gauge styles. Gauge selection is then followed by user
selectable reading and scale for that that gauge.
Scale:
Refers to the desired sweep range of an analog meter, combined with the ticks and labels
indicated. The scale selected is based on the vehicle install itself as well as the sensor that is
providing the reading information.
Note: If a digital readout is available for the reading in the selected arrangement, that digital
reading can be chosen in the scale selection.
Scheme:
One of 12 preset color combinations for the graphical accents, labels, readings, scales,
pointer/bar-gauge, warning indicators, and rotary control knob center illumination.
