1.3Safety Concept
1.3.1 Sensors
Analog sensors can be checked for short and open circuit.
1.3.2 System Check
When the trip-reset button is pressed while ignition is being turned on, the system-check function is activated and clears the
contents of the DTC List.
If there are any active service messages, they will be displayed on the Dot-Matrix Display starting with the first active service
message. If the reset button is then pressed and held for 5 seconds or longer, this service message will be reset. The next
active service message is displayed thereafter.
To proceed to the next active service message without resetting the displayed code, the button needs to be pressed shortly
(<5 sec). If all active service codes have been displayed, the system check function is started as described below:
1.All warning lamps and illumination of all gauges are activated for 3 seconds.
2.The Master gauge initializes all configured satellite gauges and waits until they are ready or a Satbus timeout occurs.
3.During time.this, all LCD-Dots are turned on for about 1.5 sec, all pointers are moved to their end value
4.Then all LCD-Dots are turned off and the pointers move back to zero, for about 1.5 sec too, and all warning lamps and
illumination will be turned off
5.Firmware version and Check sum of the EEPROM in hexadecimal format are displayed for about 10 sec.
The display format is as follows:
XX represents a hex-coded value
1.3.3 Satbus
After ignition for synchronisation the Master gets feedback from the satellites.
A timeout function can be programmed too. If more satellites are configured, the Master will not get feedback from all gauges.
After a timeout of about 14 seconds, the Master will act as described before, when the Master gets feedback from all satellites.
During normal operation there is no feedback from the satellites.
1.3.4 WINgauge
A system diagnosis function for testing all in- and outputs is implemented in the WINgauge Software.

2.2Mechanical Concept
As the same LCD is used for different Master gauge diameters the pointer position has different eccentricities and indication
angles.
The connectors are 26-Pin MODU II-Connector and 4-Pin MATE-N-LOK from AMP.
2.2.1 Master dia. 80 mm
Two PCB's are necessary for this diameter. They are connected with a standard pin connector
and two distance towers.
2.2.2 Master dia. 85 mm
The PCB assemblies and their corresponding parts of the Ø 80 mm and Ø 85 mm gauges are identical. The difference between the two gauges is the position of the stepper motor on the PCB so that the eccentricity of 7 mm in the Ø 80 mm gauge
can be reduced to 4.5 mm in the Ø 85 mm gauge.
2.2.3 Master dia. 100 mm
For this size, only one PCB assembly is necessary. Input Signal Processing.

2.3Input Signal Processing
2.3.1 Analog Inputs
All sensor characteristics can be defined with the WINgauge Software.
2.3.1.1 Grounding Concept
The Master gauge has two main ground lines. Ground term.31 is connected to the vehicle's body (negative battery terminal)
and Sensor Ground is supplied from the instrument; insulated return sender are necessary. The Sensor Ground should not be
connected to vehicle ground, which would result in a higher current flowing through this line and thus produce a signal noise
and measurement error. Sensor Ground and Ground term.31 are joined together inside the Master Gauge. This grounding
principle is necessary to accurately measure analog values. Ground shift on Sensor Ground is minimized by this concept.
2.3.1.2Sensors
The static and dynamic voltage drop of the sensors should not exceed 0.5 V.
Pressure:10 - 184 Ohms
Temperature:10 - 700 Ohms
Fuel lever type:3 - 180 Ohms
Fuel dip-pipe:0.5 - 90 Ohms
Other sensors:4 - 20 mA
Other sensors:0 - 5 V
2.3.2 Input Signal Processing applied to the two frequency inputs
Frequency 1:
The standard modules can be changed to 500 < k < 400 000 pulses/km or miles for the Speedometer
and 0.5 - 400 pulses/rev for the Tachometer.
Maximum frequency is 40 kHz (2 kHz via internal divider).
Frequency 2 as Hall Sensor / Terminal W:
500 < k < 65000 pulses/km or miles for Speedometer and 0.5 - 65 pulses/rev for Tachometer.
Maximum frequency is 2 kHz.

2.3.3 Input Signal Processing for CANbus messages
Example of SAE J1939 Messages received on one of the two CANbus Interfaces.
The Master Gauge CANbus interface conforms to CAN 2.0B specification and supports extended (29Bit) identifiers. The
Gauge acts as a "Standard ECU, which is non-configurable as defined in SAE J1939. The application layer is based on SAE
J1939/71 Rev 2008-01.
Additional communication protocol is CAN Open
For this the different CANbus data bases will be provided by the WINgauge configuration.

Five main display functions have been specified for the Master gauge. (s. picture below) As the number of displays in each
main function is configurable (except for odometer and hourmeter), the actual number of displays can be up to a maximum of
146.
A maximum of 30 Warnings and 30 Alarms can be set. The Physical Values of the defined Satellite gauges can be shown on
the display (if configured). Atotal of 25 physical value Displays (PVD) are possible, including the physical values inidcated by
the Satellite gauges. Thus with increasing numbers of Slaves defined by WINgauge, the number of freely selectable physical
values to be displayed on the dot-matrix decreases.
2.5.1Navigation through Display
The order of the display groups is: Odometer / Hourmeter, Alarms, CAN DTCs, Service Messages, Physical Values, Warnings
and then back to Odometer / Hourmeter. The Alarms, CAN-DTCs, Service Messages and Warnings are being monitored and
appear only if they are activated. If the button is pressed more than 2 sec., the LCD shows the main display which is
Odometer / Hourmeter.
2.5.2 Display Layout
The Dot-matrix Display has 132 x 33 dots.
The following picture shows the proposed display layout. The outer line represents the LCD glass and the inside marks the
active display area. The structure inside has only been drawn for illustration; it is not visible on the display itself

The display is structured into three main areas:
1. Symbol Area
This 30 x 32 pixel area is reserved for graphic symbols. The symbols are left aligned to optically enlarge the appearance of
the symbol.
2. Central Area
The centre of the display is organised as one or two lines with 6 digits each. Here it is possible to show alphanumeric ASCII
characters using the large font (12 x 16 pixel). If only one line is displayed, then this line will be centred in vertical direction.
Short text (up to 6 letters) can be used to provide identification for the value displayed. This area is best suited to communicate important numeric values to the user. Values will be shown in the second line on the right, where units appear on the left.
One or two centre lines are configured via WINgauge as well as the description of the short text.
3. Physical Unit Area
The physical unit area is located right of the alphanumeric Centre Lines. In general the unit belonging to the value displayed
on the centre lines is shown here as text. This area is organised as four lines of 5 characters of the small font. If the Unit can
be displayed with less than three ASCII characters, then the large font is applied, else the small font is used. Units will not be
wrapped into the next line.
If there are two Centre Lines, then there will also be two-unit Lines (small Line 2 and Line 4). In case only one Centre Line is
displayed, then only one corresponding Unit Line will be visible (small Line 3).
It is therefore possible to show the following parameters and units to give a clear indication of the valid physical unit which
can be chosen via WINgauge:

2.5.3 Display Functions
2.5.3.1 Main Display (Odometer, Hourmeter)
The display shows total and trip in two lines. Total has 6 digits and trip has
4 plus 1 digit. The figures roll over to 0.0 after a distance of 999.999 /
9.999 or 100.000 / 1.000 hours. Pressing the button longer than 2 seconds
will reset trip odometer or hourmeter.
A part of the Display can be used to show the company logo as a start-up
display configured by WINgauge
The centre of the display shows the value of the odometer in the first line
and the tripmeter underneath. The physical unit is displayed right to it and
can be either miles or km.
The main display of the tachometer is similar to the speedometer, except
that it shows operating hours instead of odometer and trip meter.
The physical unit is "h" for hours. The digit after the decimal point of the
trip hourmeter shows 1/10h.
if no CAN signal is received, only dashes will be indicated.
2.5.3.2 Alarm Display
If an alarm is triggered the Alarm Display is shown. To alert the user, the
General- Alarm-Symbol is flashing, alternating with the symbol that indicates the type of alarm.
The Central area of the display shows the actual physical value (6digits).
The physical unit appears to the right.
When the customer quits the alarm longer two seconds the Display will
change to the last displayed value (if no other Alarm and Warning is existing which weren't quitted). The General Alarm Symbol will remain in the
graphic Symbol Area with a vertical line on the right side of the symbol to
indicate that the Alarm doesn't correspond to the main display but to another Physical Value.
When different Alarms are present the highest priority will be shown. The
priority of the alarms is defined with the WINgauge Software. If the Alarm
is confirmed and the Alarm condition does not exist anymore then the
Alarm is cleared in the list of active Alarms. If the Alarm is not confirmed
but the Alarm conditon does not exist anymore then the Alarm is still in the
list of active Alarms.
T

2.5.3.3 CAN DTC Display
1 to 5 independent DTC channels can be configured. Every channel is
able to receive the DTCs from one CAN device (Source Address).
If DTCs are received from any of the configured CAN devices, they will be
stored into a DTC receive buffer. The buffer will be able to hold a total of
40 DTCs and will be implemented as a ring buffer, so that old DTCs can
be overwritten by newly received DTCs
2.5.3.4 Warning Display
In the Warning display the Specific Graphic Symbol (ISO) is flashing at 1
Hz. There is no alternating.
The operator can acknowledge the Warning by pressing the button longer
than two seconds. The Display will change to the Display, which was active before, if no other Alarms and Warnings are existing, which have not
been acknowledged yet.
When different Warnings are present the highest priority will be shown.
The priority of the Warnings is defined with the WINgauge Software.
Alarms have higher priorities than the Warnings. If the Warning condition
vanishes also the Warning will vanish, if it has been acknowledged.
To see the different Warnings in the Warning display group the button has

2.5.3.5 Service Message
The Service Message indication is based on operating hours and odometer.
The Graphic Symbol Area displays the "Service Symbol" in case a Service
Message becomes due.
The corresponding service code is shown on the centre line of the display
centre. As a "unit" the word "CODE" appears to indicate, that the value is a
code number.
To see the different active Service Messages in the Service Message display group the button has to be pressed longer than 50 msec.
2.5.3.6 Physical Value Display
The graphic display area shows a symbol relating to the physical value displayed. The symbol can be selected via configuration from the defined
symbols in ROM or EEPROM.
In the standard form the physical value is shown on a single Centre-Line,
followed by the physical unit. This unit text can be selected from ROM during configuration.
If the value is outside of the configurated range, then "------" is
shown.

2.5.4 Alarm- and Warning Functions
The Alarms and Warnings are triggered by the input values. Configuration parameters in EEPROM select the input values.
These variables can have a size of 1, 8 and 16 bit. Possible inputs are engine speed, road speed, data in CAN messages
and analogue sensor values. Input values are then monitored and if the configured thresholds are exceeded, then an Alarm
or Warning action is triggered, resulting in switch outputs being activated.
2.5.4.1 Description of the Outputs
Definitions:
Warning:Is a message to make the operator aware of a condition, which requires his attention.
Alarm: Is a message to alert the operator about a condition, which requires his attention and immediate action. The Alarm is
more severe than a Warning.
The switch outputs are only controlled by the Alarm- and Warning Functions.
The following switch outputs are provided:
a. Output 1 and Output 2
These are two outputs, which act like two switches to ground. The switch output can control i.e. a warning lamp, a buzzer or
a relay. It turns off, when the Alarm condition is not existing anymore, or if the Alarm has been acknowledged and it was configured. It stays on, if another Alarm condition also configured to turn on this output is still active.
b. Display
Every Alarm or Warning activates a display on the dot matrix. When the Alarm is triggered, then the associated display appears on the dot matrix, overwriting the previous display. The display combines a graphic symbol with a physical value (numerical value plus physical unit), describing the input value, which has caused the Alarm or Warning.
c. Warning Lamps in the Satellite Gauges
The Satellite Gauges include a warning lamp. This warning lamp can be turned on and off via the Sat-Bus. An Alarm or
Warning could be configured to activate a warning lamp in each of the Satellite Gauges. The selected warning lamp in the
Satellite Gauge remains on as long as the trigger condition remains, and turns off as soon as the trigger condition is not existing anymore. Flashing of the warning lamp can be configurated.
2.5.4.2 Switch Output Acknowledgement Function
The Acknowledgement Function provides a means to turn off some of the switch output action. This may be desired, if the
Alarm activates a buzzer and the operator wants to turn the buzzer off.
To acknowledge a switch output, the operator must press the button for more than 2 sec, while the Alarm or Warning is active.
When a Warning or Alarm has been acknowledged, then the Switch Outputs (1, 2) will be deactivated, if they have been configured to turn off these outputs.

2.5.4.3 Alarm and Warning Trigger Conditions
The diagram above illustrates the Alarm and Warning trigger conditions for the engine coolant temperature as an example.
The Warning threshold is set at 105° C, where the Alarm threshold is reached at 110° C. To prevent repeated on/off cycles of
the Warning or the Alarm an activation hysteresis is applied. Therefore in above example an Alarm is turned off, if the temperature falls below 108° C and the warning is cancelled at 103° C. The hysteresis is 2° C in this case and is the same for both
Alarm- and Warning condition. In addition a turn-on delay from 1 sec to 4 minutes can be configured. The delay time starts,
when the threshold is reached. If the input value falls below the threshold value, then the delay time restarts from this point in
time.
It can be configured, that the Warning is triggered, if a value rises above a threshold (as in the case of the engine coolant
temp.), or if the input value falls below a threshold (e.g. fuel level).
2.5.4.4 Alarm and Warning Trigger enabling with Engine running
Triggering of some Alarms and Warnings only makes sense, when the engine is actually running. Examples are engine oil
pressure or hydraulic pressure. For these situations triggering an Alarm and Warning can be disabled until the engine is running. This conditional trigger enable is selectable for every Alarm and Warning (together) during configuration.
Engine running is detected, by exceeding a separately configurable threshold value: the Alarm and Warning enable engine
speed threshold. The minimum threshold is 0 rpm and the maximum is 32.000 rpm.
An additional trigger-enable time delay starting from engine running condition can be configured. This is helpfull in cases,
where it takes a while until a pressure is built up.
This delay time is settable from 0 to 250 sec with a resolution of 1sec.

2.5.5 Service
The Service message is based on the Hourmeter or Odometer.The service message indication can be configured via
WINgauge. There are 15 independent service messages with customer specific settings, which can be configured via
WINgauge. The service messages are implemented as periodic intervals. Amessage which should be indicated only once,
the quantity of intervals would then be 0. Configuration data is stored in EEPROM.
For each of the 15 Service messages following can be specified in a table:
1.Service code number: Range: 1 to 255. 0 needs to be entered to disable this service function.
2.First message after x hours:( 1h <= x <= 65.000 h )
3.Periodic service time: Range: 1h to 4.095h. If 0h is selected, it means only once (not periodic).
If a Service message has expired, this service code is displayed as a decimal number together with the common service
symbol on the dot-matrix display. The Service message display remains active until this service code is reseted.
2.5.5.1 Reset of Service messages
The reset of the service message function is possible first if it occured and not before.
When a one-time service message will be reseted, then this Service message will be disabled by writing 0 into the service
code field of the Service message table in EEPROM.
When a periodic interval will be reseted then the periodic service time will be added to the hours of the current hourmeter value. This will ensure, that even if a Service message is reseted later than required, the time to the next service indication will
be the periodic interval time as specified.
Example:Service message No.:12
Service code:153
First service after:300 h
Periodic service:100 h
The reset of the Service message is part of the system check function (part of safety check).
Procedure for resetting a Service message:
1. With ignition switched off, push the button and hold down while ignition is being turned on, then the system check function
is activated and clears the contents of the DTC List.
2. If there are any service messages active, then they will be displayed on the Dot-Matrix Display starting with the first active
service message. If the button is then pressed and held for 5 seconds or longer, then this Service message will be reseted. The next active Service message is displayed afterwards. To proceed to the next active service message without resetting the displayed code the button needs to be pressed shortly (<5 sec). If all active service codes have been displayed, then the system check function is started.

2.5.6 CAN (SAE J1939) DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) messages
It will be required to know the CAN source address (SA) of the controller (ECU), which has sent a DTC message, so that the
problem can be located.
The SAE J1939 specifies 13 different diagnostic modes (DM1 to DM13). But for CANcockpit only DM1 is relevant.
In DM1 active DTCs are broadcast on the CAN-Bus. Active means, that these faults are existing at the moment, compared to
faults, which existed sometime in the past.
2.5.6.1 CAN SAE J1939 Elements
DTCs consist of 4 elements defined in SAE J1939:
1. Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) 19 bits
In the DTC, the SPN identifies the faulty element, component, sensor or parameter of a device (ECU).
2. Failure Mode Indicator (FMI) 5bits
The FMI defines the type of failure detected. It provides additional information about the nature of the fault. There are 32 predefined FMIs.
Examples are:
"Out of calibration", "Data Valid but above normal operational range", "Mechanical System not responding or out of adjustment"….
3. Occurrence Count (OC) 7bits
Shows the number of times a fault was active
4. SPN Conversion Method (CM) 1bit
The February 1996 version of SAE J1939-73 contained inadequate definitions to assure consistent implementations.
Consequently the specification of the DTC format was changed. To indicate the new consistent format this bit must be set to 0.
Also the old versions will be supported by CANcockpit.
The number of possible DTCs is very large, therefore efficient filtering is important for this function.
There are two main applications for DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes):
•To inform the operator, that something is not as expected.
Depending on the DTC it can have the nature of an Alarm (most severe), Warning or only Information
•To provide diagnostic information for the workshop, so that system faults can be analyzed and repaired.

2.5.6.2 CAN DTC Information Display Requirements
1. Information for the operator needs to be brief and clear, so that action can be taken quickly, if required.
•Activate Warning Lamp
•Activate Switch-Output
•Display Short Text
2. For the workshop it is more important to get detailed information, so the cause can be found and fixed.
•DTC List with SPN, FMI and Occurrence Count
The DTC List can also be viewed by the operator, but requires detailed knowledge of the CAN devices reporting the DTCs.
Also it can be expected, that the workshop will have other diagnostic tools, which can access even more Information than
J1939 DM1.
2.5.6.3 CAN DTC Display Functions
2.5.6.3.1 DTC Reception
0ne to five independent DTC channels can be configured. Every channel is able to receive the DTCs from one CAN device
(Source Address).
If DTCs are received from any of the configured CAN devices, they will be stored into a DTC receive buffer. The buffer will be
able to hold a total of 40 DTCs and will be implemented as a ring buffer, so that old DTCs can be overwritten by newly received DTCs.
Every newly received DTC will be compared with latest DTC`s in the ring buffer. If they are different it will be stored in the ring
buffer. Thus avoid overflowing of the ring buffer by toggling transmitted DTC`s.
2.5.6.3.2 DTC List
If the service personnel or the operator wants to check for received DTCs, he can step through the display list until coming to
the DTC-Displays. There will be no automatic display, which comes up and must then be acknowledged. Therefore it is possible to prevent annoying displays coming up, if DTCs are received, which have no actual relevance.
The DTC List function will provide access to the DTCs inside the DTC receive buffer. One DTC Display will exist in the display list for every configured DTC channel (channel 1 to 5).
To see the received DTCs of one channel the operator presses and holds the button for longer than 2sec. At this time the processor will transfer the received DTCs from the DTC Receive Ring Buffer to the DTC List. Only the DTCs of the selected
channel will appear in the DTC List. The most recent DTC will be shown first. Every short press will lead to earlier received
DTCs, until all DTCs have been shown or the button is pressed and held for more than 2sec.
The DTC List will be cleared at ignition off/ on (configurable).

2.5.6.3.3 DTC List Display Format
One Graphic Symbol per DTC Channel (Source Address) can be configured and will be shown together with the DTC in the
upper and lower level. It indicates, where the DTC message comes from.
Also the number of received DTC`s on this channel (0-40) which are currently inside the DTC Ring Buffer will be displayed.
Examples:

(SPN=1208) was 102 times (occurrence count) above normal operating
range - most severe level (FMI=0).
Index 10 provides information about the position inside the Ring Buffer.
Electronic Engine Controller (EEC) reports System Diagnostic Code #1
(SPN=611), occurrence count information not available (OC=127) and
Special Instructions (FMI=14).
Index 15 provides information about the position inside the Ring Buffer.
Electronic Transmission Controller (ETC) reports Clutch Actuator
(SPN=788) was 2 times Out of Adjustment ((FMI=7)
Index 18 provides information about the position inside the Ring Buffer.

2.5.6.3.4 Diagnostic Lamp Status
The following diagnostic lamps are defined in SAE J1939:
1. Red Stop Lamp —> Stop Engine
2. Amber Warning Lamp
3. Protect Lamp
4. Malfunction Indicator Lamp
The status information of all configured DTC received channels are collected and the result will be stored in a 16bit status variable (Byte1 and Byte2). It is then possible to configure alarm or warning functions to react on the diagnostic lamp status.
This also has the advantage that normal Alarm- or Warning-Functions are integrated with Alarms or Warnings (DTC Lamp
Status) from the CAN Bus.
2.5.6.3.5 DTC Scan
When DTC`s are received via interrupt, they are immediately stored into the DTC-receive ring buffer. This ring buffer will then
be scanned for 8 specific DTC`s. These DTC`s can be configured via WINgauge with unique icons and labels. Alarm and/ or
Warning Functions can then be configured to trigger on the status of certain bits inside the DTC scan result register.

2.5.6.4.1 Tolerance
The overall speedometer accuracy is within 0% to +4% of full scale reading for each indicated value over the operating range
of the instrument.
This fulfills SAE J1226 for the American market and for the European market DIN 75521-2.
The Master gauge receives speed information either via CAN or via one of the frequency inputs. During configuration the
source of the speed information has to be defined. The input signal is first converted into a physical speed value. The microcontroller calculates the deflection angle of the speedometer based on this physical speed value and gauge output characteristic.
Specification of odometer storage
The standard Speedometer version of the Master gauge contains an Odometer. It can be configured that also the Tachometer
can have an Odometer instead of an Hourmeter. The Odometer consists of a total Odometer and a Tripodometer. Both can
be displayed on the dot matrix LCD as two lines. Format is 6 digits for total km, landmiles, nautical miles or meter and 4 digits, decimal point and 1 digit for 1/10 kilometer, land mile or nautical mile. The resolution of meter is 1m.
a.Information comes from CAN-Bus Interfaces (one of two):
For the Odometer indication it must be ensured that a ECU is broadcasting this information on the CAN-Bus. If no signal is
received only dashes will be indicated.
b.Total odometer information generated by master gauge:
The Odometer information will be written to EEPROM every 1km. Aring counter algorithm is applied to save and recover the
information from EEPROM. The rest-distance is written to EEPROM 10 sec after ignition has been turned off.
A special 16-word-ring-counter algorithm is applied to recover the odometer in case the battery was disconnected.
With nominal input frequency applied, the odometer shall indicate calculated mileage within ± 0.3% [SAE J1226].

2.5.6.5 Tachometer Master Gauge
2.5.6.5.1 Tolerance
The Tachometer indication must be within ± 2% of full scale with nominal voltage applied at temperature of 24 ± 3° C. [SAE
J1399].
2.5.6.5.2 Tachometer Gauge Operation
The Master gauge receives the engine speed information either via CAN-Bus or via one of two frequency inputs. During configuration the source of the engine speed information has to be defined. The input signal is first converted into a physical engine speed value. The micro-controller calculates the deflection angle of the Tachometer.
2.5.6.5.3 Specification of the hourmeter
The standard Tachometer version of the Master gauge contains an Hourmeter. It can be also configured with the WINgauge
that also the Speedometer can contain an Hourmeter.
U
Legal demands are to fulfil!
a. Information comes from CAN-Bus Interfaces (one of two):
For the Hourmeter indication it must be ensured that a ECU is broadcasting this information on the CAN-Bus. If no signal is
received only dashes will be indicated.
b. Total hours information generated by master gauge:
The Hourmeter counts the number of engine hours, when the engine speed exceeds a threshold value configurable via
WINgauge (default value 300 rpm). If the engine speed is below the threshold value the hour counting stops (total and trip).
The last value willI be stored within 10 sec in EEPROM after the ignition is turned off, then counting stops, no matter if the engine is running or not.
The time indication is within + 5 sec with nominal voltage supplied at 25 degrees C and within + 10 sec with nominal voltage
supplied over the full operating temperature range.
The total hour information is backed-up in EEPROM every 7.5 minutes. Aspecial 16-word-ring-counter algorithm is applied to
recover total hours in case battery had been disconnected.

This shows now the Basic System - Configuration including the essential blocks like:
Master, three Satellites and one Display. However, the parameter Settings are only
standard and don‘t match the required functions. This must be adopted later.

Certainly this shows
also which parts of the

need to be performed
next. Remarkable are
the missing symbols
and the commonly used
name – General -
Due to the size of this very
complex Configuration it‘s
necessary to understand that part
of the configuration continues in
the invisible part of the

If a Symbol cannot be found
amongst the predefined list
of Symbols, this particular
one can be created new
through the use of the

3. Step: Choose the Unit (km/h, °C, h,…) for the Display
5. Step: Enter any descriptive text which shows up
later in the Master Display.
6. Step: By selection of a Hysteresis-value an
interval which helps to stabilize the display of the
physical value in the Master Display is defined.
4. Step: Select the appropriate Symbol for „Fuel

The performed modifications can be recognized after
returning back to the specification view for the just

At this point it’s easy to
realize which Satellites
still have not the right
Symbols assigned. By
use of the ICON Editor
these Symbols are now
created and can be
assigned to the
appropriate device.
Up to now basic configuration values like Name, Symbol, Unit, trailing Digits and Hysteresis values have been defined. This
parameter setting is dedicated to present the individual device
values in the Master Display. After creation of the missing
Symbols plus the assignment to the correct device the next step
is to define the In/Out characteristics for each device. Doing this
implies that for each device, Master, Satellite or Display, the
right Sensor is assigned and configured.
Searching for Satellites or Displays which haven’t received the full
configuration is made easier when pointing with the mouse pointer to the
“CAN 1” sign on the upper right corner of each device in the
"Configuration-Window" . This opens up a window with all the CAN
Parameter settings. A device is not configured when essential parameters are
preset by "0".

ICON Editor
The ICON Editor is accessible via the function
"Edit – ICON Editor".
This routine is used to define nonexistent new Symbols or
any kind of Logo. While the Symbols are represented in a
square of 24 x 24 pixel, the Logo is defined in a rectangle of
24 x 87 pixel. Any new defined Symbol / Logo will be
automatically added to the existent Symbol-list and is saved
together with the project information. New defined Logos
and Symbols can be saved to disc too.
June 2009
Training WinGauge Software
page 26
Page 79
The new created logo plus all the new defined Symbols are added
sequentially to the Symbol table. The Logo however must be
defined as Icon selection number 1. It requires the equivalent space
of 3 Symbols. Logo and Symbols are immediately visible after
creation and confirmation with "OK" in the Symbol list and can be
selected for the appropriate device.
To help design a new Symbol / Logo the
ICON Editor provides small utility tools
on the top part of the window. The small
white square shows the designed Symbols
in the later size. Icon selection is used to
define the position for the Symbols in the
memory of the Icon Editor as well as for
later reference. The checkbox for the Logo
opens up a larger, rectangular pixel
window.

In the same way the function
"File – Load Icon"
may be used to load a Symbol which has been
defined at an earlier state. It is important to
watch if the checkbox for Logo is checked or
not. If it’s checked, a Logo is expected to be
loaded. This differentiation is necessary because
a Logo occupies the space for 3 Symbols and
requires different treatment.

Now Master, Satellites and Displays are
completed with the correct and required
Symbols.
The assignment of the new defined Symbols
works as described in the previous steps.

By a click to the "+" sign on the left
of the Satellite in the "Navigation-Window" two more sub categories
pop up:

Master, Satellite and Display may receive the required
information, from the Sensors directly connected to the
Master Instrument. The differentiation is amongst Resistor-,
Current-, Voltage and Frequency Inputs. CAN1 and CAN2
may deliver information from other Sensors however.
June 2009
All Satellites, Master or Display being upsetted in the previous configuration
process have in their configuration "CAN1" defined as the preferred Signal Source.
The next steps will show how to connect the right Sensors to the correct Satellite.
Training WinGauge Software
page 32
Page 85
The dialog "Add Display" has preconfigured the "Speed" device. E.g. the
Signal Source is been presetted with "CAN1" and the Curve is defined as
linear with standard Values. For the definition of the Prime Range those two
values have to be corrected. However it’s more important for Satellite than for
Display devices, as Displays don’t really have a upper limit, but are showing
their Values in the LCD Display of the Master Device. The first step here is to
select as Signal Source the Frequency input 1 (0 – 40 kHz).
Typically the required Parameters for this part of the Configuration are predefined as they depend very much on
the physical Instruments like Signal Source, Switches, Sensors… which are connected in the System. Those
Parameters may be taken from the Hardware Configuration. It is recommended to have these Characteristic
Values of the Sensors available before the Software Configuration via WinGauge is started.
June 2009
Training WinGauge Software
page 33
Page 86
Further Specification of the Frequency Input happens by using the
function "Configure". Required Parameters for this Configuration are,
the k-value (characteristic Value for the Frequency Input) and the max.
velocity value. The starting point will be assumed as “0” for Velocity and
Frequency. From those factors the max. Frequency value will be
calculated as well as the 8 value pairs (Hz and km/h) which are filled in
the table and are displayed as a curve.
June 2009
The k-value is a very sensor specific defined value. It can however be determined by the "Calculate" -
function. To execute this function is only meaningful if it can be done in a vehicle.
Training WinGauge Software

On exit of the Configuration for the "Speed –Display" the last configured values will be

The green lines are shown when the "Show pointer position" box is checked. They shows the values in
degree for the angle Phi [°] from the table below. This
can be used as test if the values in the table seem to be
correct.
For Signal Sources delivering
their information via the CANBUS System, it’s enough to build
the pair relationship for unit in (%,
km/h, bar, °C) to the angle Phi [°]
for the Pointer position.
June 2009
Satellite instruments do require as an additional specification the pair relationship
between the physical measured values (mA, Ohm, V, Hz, ) and the unit ( %,
km/h, °C..).

self defined Sensors will be found later under the type "User defined". Configuration of a new Sensor requires good knowledge
of the Sensors, the environment, the physical characteristics and the
exact parameters.
Note: Changing the initial values may only be performed with the
appropriate knowledge and care.

operates correct. The test operates within a given min/max. range
of values. A Sensor defect Signal will be triggered in case the
Signal values are outside the defined min/max. range for more that
a time specified in the delay field. This Sensor defect Signal is
visualized in the Satellite through moving the pointer to the left
down (0) position. For Displays, the Sensor Symbol is shown

excepting only few differences. In the In/Out characteristics dialog
it is possible to define individual Warnings and Alarms for each
Sensor. After assigning a Priority, the selection of the preferred
Symbol, the Warning and Alarm Threshold shall be defined.
When these min/max values are passed, Warning / Alert shall be
triggered.
Delay specifies the time to wait
after the event occurred until the
Warning / Alarm is made visible.
By use of the Algorithm the Threshold value is defined as upper/lower limit. The
value in the Hysteresis field specifies the difference value after which the Warning /
Alarm can be vanished.

This overview field is only available for the Master Instrument.
Here are the Warning / Alarm conditions for all instruments listed
which have such conditions set.

"Minimum engine start time" and "rpm threshold" defines the
operating conditions needed to be achieved before any Warning /
Alarm for this Instrument is meaningful to be triggered.. The
"Flash interval" defines the flashing-frequency for all Warning
LED’s in the Satellites used to signalize Warnings and Alarms.
All the three Parameters are valid for all Devices in the same way.
Selection for the "Maximum / Minimum" limit means that the
value shall not grow larger or fall lower than the threshold. The
selection for "with / without RPM" means that the values shall
not be valid for Warning / Alarm signaling before the RPM
threshold, defined for the whole configuration, is reached.

Example: It‘s defined with a priority 5, that Alarm shall be
initiated as soon as the Cooling Water Temperature has been
reached above 103°C for longer than the delay time of 3 sec.
Switching on Output1 and the Warning Lamp in the Cooling
Water Satellite the Alarm is visualized. At the same time the
Symbol for Cooling Water Temp. together with the actual
physical value will be shown in the Master Display. Cooling
down by more than 3°C to below 100°C the Warning Lamp in
the Satellite together with the Output1 Signal is switched off
again. The Warning message in the Master Display disappears
after manual confirmation by pushing the button on the
Master Instrument. These actions, to take back the Warning /
Alarm are implicitly defined by setting the value for the
Hysteresis.

A picture image of the selected instrument is only available for
Master and Slave Devices, not for Displays.
Only a few special specifications which are only valid
for the Master Instrument are left to be set before the
Configuration will be completed. These specifications
are: Default settings, Service Messages and CAN
messages (DTC). Those three will be shown on the
following pages.
To bring up a Logo in the Master Display with "Ignition on", this check box
has to be activated.

The listed Parameters in the description frame are
already known from the "Add-Master dialog". This
information will be enhanced with information about
the selected Sensor / Signal source for the Hourmeter
respective the ODO-Meter. In essence the selection
process is the same as for the In/Out Characteristics.
But here no curve will be shown.

It’s required to define for either the ODO-Meter or Hourmeter which the Signal Sources
are. Is it a CAN device or a Sensor connected directly to the Master device. Further the
parameters for Unit, RPM threshold, Total Distance/Hours or Trip Distance /Hours need
to be defined / selected. The selected Symbol will be the Symbol for the Master device
showing the values of the respective Sensor, Hours or ODO.

This dialog is used to configure the
Display of Service-Message numbers
after a predefined interval (h / km
depending if the Master is defined as
Hourmeter or ODOmeter), to allow
maintenance tasks to be performed in
time. Depending on the Service Codes
there may be different intervals set for
the first notification and the following
intervals. In this example ServiceMessage no. 1 is shown after 150 h and
then with a frequency of 150 h again.
Service-Message no. 5 shall be
repeated after all 500 operating hours.
The meaning of the Service-Message
numbers needs to be predefined by the
manufacturer and should be described
in the documentation joining the
vehicle.
