MOd (Module) Setup Option
In MOd setup, the serial number of the module assigned to the top or bottom display is
entered. The serial number is written on a label on the module. The module assigned to the
top display will be assigned the first half of the analog outputs. The module assigned to the
bottom display will be assigned to the second half of the analog outputs. The same module
can be assigned to both displays or different modules can be assigned to each display.
After entering MOd (i.e. press ENT when “MOd” is displayed), the serial numbers of the
available modules will be displayed. Select using

and

followed by the ENT key.
RATE Setup Option
Data is transmitted from modules at the broadcast rate and the programmed averaging that
was programmed using the Configuration Tool. This transmitted data can then be further
averaged before being displayed on the displays. Separate averaging can be programmed for
the top display and the bottom display. RATE does not affect the analog outputs.
The averaging is programmed with values from 0.001 (heavy averaging) to 1.000 (no
averaging). The default is 1.000. The averaging is performed as follows:
DisplayedValue
t
= α x Parameter
t
+ (1 – α) x DisplayedValue
t-1
where:
DisplayedValue
t
= the new displayed value
α = The user-programmable averaging.
Range: 0.001 (heavy averaging) to 1.000 (no averaging).
Parameter
t
= the latest value transmitted by the module
DisplayedValue
t-1
= the previous displayed value
AOUT (Analog Outputs) Setup Option ( and dashCAN2 Only)
The dashCAN2 display head has two 0 to 5V programmable analog outputs. The
display head has six 0 to 5V programmable analog outputs. The analog outputs are updated
at the module Broadcast Rate (see Table 1). This can be as fast as every 5 ms. Keep in mind
that the data may be averaged (see
Set Averaging Filters in Table 1) before being broadcast
by the module.
Parameter information from the module assigned to the top display (see MOd) can be sent to
analog output 1 (for dashCAN2) or 1, 2, and 3 (for ). Parameter information from
the module assigned to the bottom display can be sent to analog output 2 (for dashCAN2) or
4, 5, and 6 (for ). Only parameters selected as active TPDOs for that module
(using the Configuration Tool) can be output.
