The ‘ToggleLatch’ function will alternate between two values every time a condition is met.
ToggleLatch(condition, value1, value2)
When combined with the ‘Validate function, this will create an effective latching switch.
e.g. ToggleLatch(Validate(AN01<500,50),0,1)
The ‘IncLatch’ function will increase its value by one every time the condition is met. This can
be used as a counter or, when combined with a second input with a decrementing latch, a
calibration position or tuning switch. A wrap option allows a restart at the minimum value
when the maximum value is exceeded.
IncLatch(condition, defaultValue, minValue, maxValue, wrap)
e.g. IncLatch(Validate(AN01<500,50),5,1,10,0)
The ‘DecLatch’ function will decrease by one each time the condition is met.
DecLatch(condition, defaultValue, minValue, maxValue, wrap)

Special items
The Special Items, found under the ‘Items’ tab, are a group of specific items that need defining
depending on your configuration for certain dash features.
4.5.1
Display Items
RPM and Gear should be defined here to take advantage of the specific display behaviours for
these items. The rev counter and gear number are unique gauges in several templates.
4.5.2
Input Switches
Switch inputs can be physical or received over CAN. For physical inputs, connect as described
in
, and assign the special item(s) for the chosen method to the chosen input pin(s).
For CAN inputs, assign each CAN special item to its corresponding CAN input item. The dash
assumes any non-zero value is a key press.
4.5.3
Brightness Adjustment
LCD and LED brightness is set automatically. However, this can be overridden with either a
potentiometer or a CAN message.
