5.5 The device window
5.5.1 Live measures layer
5.5.2 Online value forcing
Once the configuration has been transmitted “Live Measures” page shows ECU Channels too
and some operations can be performed, like start recording and stop live measures as well as
making the device blinking pressing the button top right of the page. This last operation is
the easiest and quickest way to test PC-Device communication.
Starting from Race Studio 3.24.02 Device page Live measures layer features a new and very
useful option: online measure value forcing. This feature allows the user to simulate one or
more channels value to test icons, alarms, power output and harnesses behaviour.
With reference to the configuration we created it is possible to verify if Water Alarm status va-
riable works.
The set conditions (paragraph 5.2.6) are: water Temperature greater than 100 +RPM greater
than 2000. To force these values:
n
mouse over the value to force and click the setting icon
n
a pop up menu appears: select “Force Value” option and fill in the panel that appears
n
Click “OK” and the LED blinks continuously as set in the device configuration.
