5.4.3 Locking PIDs (to always display at top)
Use the
Lock/Unlock
icon to hold selected lines of the data in place and
prevent them from scrolling, or to release previously locked lines of data.
Up to three lines of data may be held at a time. This feature allows you
to position related parameters together, making it easier to monitor their
values and spot inconsistencies.
Locked parameters display as the top frames on the main body of the display
screen, as well as at their usual position within the data list (
). A lock
icon appears to the left of the parameter name to indicate it is locked.
