Fuel Used "RAW" SDL

[Ben-S]

I am setting up an SDL and have everything working fine except for the fuel used channel the fuel prediction calculation requires the fuel used raw channel and cannot be changed. I am currently getting the channel fuel used ecu across the bus. It seems that there is no simple way to link these channels short of wasting a table. Am I missing something obvious here?

While I'm on the topic the display of lap time as MM:SS is missing from the SDL and instead M:SS.H has to be used... I would much prefer to be able to see the lap time correctly displayed than to see the extra decimal place.

I'm wasting a table doing exactly the same thing.
I'd be interested if anyone knows how to do it properly.

The SDL is limited to using the "Incrementing fuel used value" method for calculating fuel used. If your fuel used channel on Comms isnt Fuel Used (Raw), then you should change your Communications template to say that the incoming channel is called Fuel Used (Raw). That should make it work.

these are your options with display of lap time.

Decimal
Displays as a normal decimal number which is suitable for most purposes.

Decimal (DP removal)
Will automatically reduce the number of decimal places if the value cannot fit on the display.

M:SS.H
Will display a channel with resolution of 0.01 sec such as lap time as minutes and seconds with one decimal place.

SS:HH
Will display a channel with resolution of 0.01 sec such as lap time as seconds to two decimal places with the minutes dropped.

MM:SS
Will display a channel value with resolution of 1 second in minutes and seconds.

HH:MM
Will display a channel value with resolution of 1 second in Hours and Minutes.


At preset, they are your only option, What exactly are you after??

MM:SS
Will display a channel value with resolution of 1 second in minutes and seconds.

While the help file does say exactly that it is not one of the actual options I am allowed to chose from on the drop down menu. That is exactly what I'm after though.

My only actual choices are:

decimal
decimal dp removal
M:SS:H
SS:HH
decimal omit MSD

As for the can channels neither the M800 software nor the SDL software is capable of making that change however now that I am typing this I'm realizing I could probably make the template in the ADL manager software and export it to both the M800 and SDL and maybe fix my problem.

While I've got your attention I am trying to make the best of only having two switch inputs to the SDL and am trying to make some time based relations between the alarm ack and beacon "switches" which has worked with one exception. When I try to link the alarm ack button with the next line button it will not function. The next line button shows 1 when the alarm ack button shows 1 under the conditions i want it to however the actual line does not change.

Another issue I'm just running into this second is my G force long channel is coming across 10x the actual value. I know the software is somewhat "handicapped" intentionally so it can be sold at so much lower of a price that the ADL but some simple channel editing could go a really long way. My temporary solution is to change the calibration of the sensor on the M800 side (so it will be wrong for the M800) but it doesn't seem like that should be necessary. Also having a way to assign the channels that come across the CAN bus to the proper channel would be really great. It can all be done anyway it just takes some pretty illogical workarounds.

Thanks for your help!
