9.3 Special Co-Driver Sensors
Some additional predefined sensors are added to the setup when co-driver support is enabled.
Most of these cannot be used to make new outputs but a couple can:
· CDTrip SSR - Allows a new countdown output to be created. A countdown output requires
an input sensor and allows the reset value and resolution to be set. The reset and
increment/decrement events for the new output are automatically added to the
events
editor .
·
ETA SSR - Allows an estimated time of arrival output to be created. This output takes a
countdown distance output and a speed output as inputs and shows the estimated time of
arrival in real time to cover the remaining countdown distance at the current speed. By
using an average speed as the speed input, a more realistic ETA can be shown over the
distance.
9.4 Co-Driver Buttons and Events
The co-driver display supports 4 buttons to allow the co-driver to control functions on the display.
These buttons are nominally called the Reset, Select, Up and Down. To define the behaviour of
these buttons, select Setup | Co-Driver | Events to show the Events editor:
The events dialog has two tabs, an Action tab which allows the behaviour of the buttons to be
defined and an Effects tab which allows the user to quickly identify which event causes a
particular effect.
Each button has three actions:
· Click - Triggered when the button is pressed.
·
Long Click - Triggered when the button is pressed for 2 seconds.
· Hold - Triggered when the button is pressed for more than 1 second. Once in hold mode, the
button generates 20 hold events per second. This is useful for rapidly increasing or
decreasing numbers.
In addition, the stopwatch trigger can effect actions. Furthermore, alarm outputs defined in the
main setup can effect actions and these are also shown in the actions column.
