Warning Message Sensor
An output using a warning message sensor is used to output warning messages when inputs are
outside of the normal operating range. An output using a warning message sensor uses up to two
inputs for each warning defined:
·
The warning input typically uses an output defined with an alarm sensor. If the value of the
output is non-zero, the associated warning message will be displayed.
·
The label input is optional and is used to provide a value to be shown in the warning
message.
The messages are edited within the Warning Editor that is accessed by clicking on the ellipsis
button (...) in the warning message tab:
The Warning Editor message is entered in the left column. When an '@' symbol is inserted into
the warning label a formatted input value from the label input replaces it in the display. The input
label format column allows the format of the value from the label input to be defined. For full
details on value formatting, see
Value Formatting
in the gauge reference section.
If all the warning inputs are zero, the output string is empty. If only one warning input is non-zero,
the appropriate warning is displayed. If multiple warning inputs are non-zero, the appropriate
warning labels are displayed in turn, with each one being displayed for around a second.
The On Time, Off Time and Min On Time can be used to affect how the warning is displayed
when only one warning is active and are scaled in milliseconds. For example, to have a single
message flash at 2Hz, set the On Time to 1000 and the Off Time to 1000. Setting the Off Time to
0 disables flashing.
The Min On Time can be used to ensure a warning is visible even if it is only briefly triggered. For
example, a low oil pressure alarm triggered during cornering may only occur for a fraction of a
second but by setting the Min On Time to 2000 ensures that the message is displayed for 2
seconds and so is more likely to be seen.

Maths Sensor
A maths sensor allows a mathematical formula to be used to calculate new outputs in real time.
To create a maths sensor, add a name for the sensor in the Maths tab and click on the (...) button
