5.2.6.4.2 Instance
Instance is used to specify which product on the network will be used as the source of the displayed information. For example, there may be two GPS’s on the network each of which will have a unique instance assuming the network has been properly configured. You use the instance field to tell the DSM250 which GPS to use for displaying data. Most of the time, the DSM250 simply displays a single parameter from a device on the network so you will only see one “Instance” entry. There are other parameters that the DSM250 displays that are a combination of information from multiple products on the network. For example, fuel economy is a combination of fuel rate and Speed Over Ground (SOG) so you will see two “Instance” entries, one to specify the engine(s) and one to specify the GPS for SOG.
5.2.6.4.3 Alert
In setting up the Anchor Watch display type, this field is used to specify the associated Anchor Watch Alert priority. The list from which the selection is made will be limited to the list of Anchor Watch Alerts already created in the system.
5.2.6.4.4 Title
Each display type has a user defined title that is displayed above the control. The contents of the title are specified in this field. There are three options:
•Default – the title of the control is the same as the name of the parameter being displayed.
•Label – the label of the parameter. The label is programmed into the remote device, and will be transferred to the title when it is received from the remote device. This means that if the label of the remote device is changed, the title of the control will be automatically updated to match the new label.
•Custom – the title is entered by the user using the method described in section 3.3.4.
5.2.7 Units Menu
The Units Menu allows you to set the desired display units for the DSM250. The following sections provide more detail on the individual unit settings.
