Can I display on the SDL as text when closed loop is on/off ?
Also I would like to setup the SLM to display lights when closed loop active then turn off when closed loop inactive ?
Any ideas how to do this ?
There is a M800 connected via CAN to the dash.

You will use Bit And in the SDL/SDL3

M800 Status group 1 contains the channels you are looking for. A Status channel or error group is actually one channel that is made up of a lot of statuses.

tatus Group Item Bit Bitmask (Hexadecimal)
Item 1 = bit 0 = 01(hex)
Item 2 =bit 1 = 02(hex)
Item 3 =bit 2 = 04(hex)
Item 4 =bit 3 = 08(hex)
Item 5 =bit 4 = 10(hex)
Item 6 =bit 5 = 20(hex)
Item 7 =bit 6 = 40(hex)
Item 8 =bit 7 = 80(hex)

you want to see if closed loop is on or off itll be Item 5 (Lambda2) and Item 6 (Lambda1).
Look in: M800, Adjust>data logging setup>status flags....press F1

So if you want to see any single status in a error group, or status channel (also a group) then you just "bit and" the one you want to see. Its like a filter. So if you bitand 01(hex) you will only see a 1 or 0 for the first item if its true or not. if you do bitand 10(hex) then you will only see if item 5 is 1 or 0 (true or flase)

Use this as a condition for a user condition or in a table. In the ADL3 this can be taken further as you can create your own Bit Combine channels,,,,very useful to send to a PDM.

You can use the same condition to trigger an "alarm" for the display and also to drive your SLM.

Hope it helps!

Brilliant ! (as usual)
