What defines a Function quantity?

Postby EB Turbo on Tue Mar 26, 2019 1:47 am

I have a PDM15 in a race car. I have maxed out the functions at 200/200. are there specific things I can look for to try and eliminate unnecessary functions. like, most items are conditioned by the master switch(battery key) and the ignition switch being turned on. If those count as two functions per item. Would i be better off creating a condition of master and ignition combined and then putting that in my conditional functions. This would remove at least one used function from most to all of my functions?

Also do things like CAN inputs and outputs count as functions? would removing unnecessary CAN i/O help reduce my total function count?

Anything that is an 'operation' adds to the total. Some examples:

Input x - 1 operation
Input y - 1 operation
Function - x > y - 1 operation
Function - x = true - 0 operations
Function - x = true && y = true - 1 operation
Output z, x = true - 0 operations
Output z, x = true && y = true - 1 operation

You can see that using the 'True' operator doesn't add to the operations total but 'ANDing' two 'True' operators uses 1 for the 'AND' operation.

If you have a number of outputs that have multiple 'ANDs' that are all the same you would be better off having a function that combines them and then use that function in your output setup.
