Absolute Override

This MotoHawk™ block enables run-time modification and observation of wire values with a suitable Instrumentation tool.

Block ID

motohawk_override_abs

Library

MotoHawk_lib/Calibration and Probing

Description

Normally the block behaves as a simple pass-through. The output value may be forced to a new value and the input value ignored using an Instrumentation tool.

*NOTE:  Engineering Value = (Raw Module Value*Gain)^Exp)+Offset.

Block Parameters

Parameter Field	Values	Comments/Description
Name	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	The name of the override. Variables exposed to the instrumentation tools will be prefixed with this name. The name should be unique and C-legal (no special characters, such as spaces, dashes or commas (underscore allowed).
Default Value	(type as set by View Value as)	Preset applied value for block.
Name Source		Select source for Name parameter
	Use Parameter	Use Name field text
	Input Wire Name	Take name from input wire name
	Output Wire Name	Take name from output wire name
Read Access Level	0-8	Sets security level 1 lowest, 8 highest, for user access to read value. A setting of zero indicates unsecured access is allowed.
Override Access Level	0-8	Sets security level 1 lowest, 8 highest, for user access to override value. A setting of zero indicates unsecured access is allowed.
View Value as		Sets "Default Value" data type
	Number	Numeric value
	Enumeration	Enables enumeration - which selects a specific  existing parameter by exact name.
	Text	Text string
Enumeration (Cell String, or Struct)	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Field enabled when Enumeration is selected under "View Value as." Enter term of defined entity to be  mapped. Cell String: A cell array of strings such as {'Off', 'On'} may be used to define the names of enumerated values. In this case, the values start with 0 and increment by one. This is especially useful for defining names for Boolean flags like 'On' and 'Off'. Struct: A Matlab struct array containing a 'name' field, and optionally a 'value' field may be used to define the names and explicitly define the values of an enumerated type. For example: struct('name', {'Off', 'On'}, 'value', {0,1}). If the 'value' field is missing, then the values start with 0 and increment by one, just like with the Cell String format.
Help Text	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Enter text to describe block usage per needs.
Units	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	The engineering units associated with this variable.
Minimum Value	Numeric Value	Sets lower end of allowable range for value
Maximum Value	Numeric Value	Sets higher end of allowable range for value
Precision	Numeric value, single-quote enclosed	Set the precision of the variable as displayed in an Instrumentation Tool by entering a value '1.x' where "x" is the number of decimal places requested. Default is two decimal places.
Gain*	Numeric Value	Multiplier applied (Default is 1) to the raw value used in calculation of the engineering value.
Offset*	Numeric Value	Constant added (Default is 0) to the raw value calculations to result in the engineering value.
Exponent*	Numeric Value	Exponent applied (Default is 1) to the (raw value*gain) product used in calculating the engineering value.
Instrumentation Group	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed.	Determines Folder name and hierarchy to be used by an Instrumentation Tool. Use "|" character between folder names to delineate subfolder structure.
