Timer hold

Postby RickD on Thu Mar 16, 2017 1:58 pm

M880 is there a way to set a threshold parameter to hold a timer until the threshold is met? for example a TPS percentage under 90% holds timer 1 . Thank you

You need to generate one of the status channels.

So for your example you would use a Aux output table to meet the trigger point you need, then hard wire the output to a digital input to generate the status channel "Didital Input (n) Active"

That is how I am activating the timer with an AUX table wired to input but I would like to hold the timer at a given point then start the timer from that point without a reset is that possible?

No that not possible, the timer runs from 0 to whatever end time you set

You can flip the logic by using Dig 1-4 set up as function 29 'monitor', then point the timer selection to that dig channel.
You can also split the logic so Timer 1 runs when its active, and Timer 2 runs when its inactive. You can use timer 2 to reset timer 1 via an additional aux table wired into the digital and using output mode 2.

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do it can be done, it may take a digital, two aux tables, and both timers though, maybe explain a little further here or PM. If its strictly full or closed throttle time you can simply use the full throttle or closed throttle timers in Misc Setup, both those channels are available as an axis as Full/Closed Throttle Time and you can choose reset parameters. Limit on all timers is 327 seconds.
