Custom Gauge and indicator

[dontz125]

First, my thanks to Jean for getting me this far, but I'm now now past the 'IOx' part and into the 'TS' part, so it's more appropriate to post here.

My customer is logging a second frequency-based MAF through the IOx. The bus frequency is 24MHz with prescale and divider of 1. The frequency is thus 24,000,000 / canpwmin0, where canpwmin0 is the number of clock 'ticks' between MAF pulses. Simple so far, right? (It took a few tries before Jean's explanation sunk in ... )

The problem comes in when I try to set up the custom .ini to use this value in the MS3. At Jean's suggestion, I've set up the following:

Code: Select all

[OutputChannels]

MAF2 = 24000000 / canpwmin0 ;
; establish the frequency from the IOx, source = Bus (24MHz), prescale and divider are both '1'.

Unfortunately, TS doesn't like this, and keeps giving me errors:

Error: Malformed [OutputChannel] entry, Problem at:
[custom.ini]:[Line:11]: MAF2 = 24000000 / canpwmin0 ;

Error: Malformed [OutputChannel] entry, Problem at:
[custom.ini]:[Line:11]: MAF2 = 24000000 / canpwmin0 ;

What's odd is that it gives TWO errors for the same line, when I don't see anything wrong.


The other thing I'm trying to set up are indicators based on outputs TO the IOx; for example, I want an On/Off indicator showing when CANOUT1 goes high, declaring that the sump valve is open. I've found canout1_8, and I've found how to define an indicator as

indicator = { canout1_8 & 1 }, "Sump Closed", "Sump OPEN", white, black, red, black

but what I DON'T see is how to use that expression to actually set up an indicator.

A little help, please?

I forgot the curly brackets:

Code: Select all

MAF2 = { 24000000 / canpwmin0 }

Perfect - that's got it!

And for the other question, I found the answer in this thread.
