User Conditions Without a Standard Channel

I'm trying to set up my alarm acknowledge button to also reset my trip meter when I hold the button for 0.5 seconds
I tried to copy the approach used for display next line and display mode change but I hit a brick wall because there isn't an actual channel for the trip meter reset.
Is there a way around this, I couldn't work out if there were generic user channels available which I could use for this purpose and then assign it to a trip meter reset function and then assign that to the alarm acknowledge user function

Yes, in the User Conditions Setup - Add - Change User Condition window select a Condition for the Output Channel and after you have configured the User Condition you can change the name in Tools - Edit Channel.

Is there any condition in particular I should be selecting before I then rename it

Yes, the GP channels are channels with the correct units, that you can use for whatever need you have.

BTW - for things like resetting a trip odometer, I would just put the conditions (Reset equals True for 4 seconds) in the conditions -- no need to create a user condition / channel if you don't need to log it.

I tried using reset = true for 0.5 seconds but because I am using the same button for the alarm acknowledge it was then activating that function of the button as well

Yes it gets tricky overriding a few buttons. More buttons is usually better.

In Dash Manager go to File>New>M1. Go to the User Conditions and copy the 'Alarm Acknowledge' and 'Session Reset' conditions. They are exactly what you are trying to do, just change the time for the reset channel from 2 seconds to 0.5s.
