Operating Data Logging


A new report on data logging compares the duration of the time with ignition ON with the duration of time with engine ON and shows differences on a red-green-orange scale.

The options can be set from how many hours the difference is shown as orange and from how many hours the difference is shown as red.



If the time difference between the ignition and the digital input for the engine in hours is less than 2 hours, the line is displayed in green.

If the difference between the ignition signal and the engine signal is longer than 2 hours, the day is displayed in orange.

If the time difference between ignition and engine is more than 4 hours (e.g. ignition 8 hours, engine 3 hours), the value is shown in red.



The digital Input for the motor signal can be selected in the report.
