Error Management and Status List

Note: Sensors not in use should be set to disabled where possible so that the Error Status list, which is displayed in the Status window, is only used for genuine errors.

M1 Tune senses that a channel has gone into error when its value goes outside the configurable channel parameter limits.

The channel parameter limits are configured within the sensor settings, using the fault low and high limits.

Note: It is also important to set a reasonable default value for the sensor parameter. If the channel goes into fault, the sensor will report its value to be this default value. Consider how this value will affect the running engine in the event of a channel fault.

How these errors are displayed is shown below.



When an error occurs, the channel parameter and its value are added to an Error Status list and the following popup displays to notify the user of the change to the list of errors.



The popup lists the current number of errors, but only appears if there has been a change to the number of errors.

Press F3 to display the Status window.

Figure 1. Example Status window


The Status window displays all current Errors and Status values. To see only errors, de-select the Show Messages checkbox box from the bottom of the window.

Sometimes, the error will only be active for a short period of time, and it may not appear in the Status list when it is opened at a later time. In this instance, select the Event Log tab to see a history of errors, when they occurred and for how many times.
