Relative 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

 

The block contains an offset addition, which is zero by default, making it normally behave as a simple pass-through. Using an Instrumentation tool the output value may be locked, preventing propagation from the input to the output. Then the offset value may be changed. When the output has reached the desired value, the lock can be released, and the offset is permanently applied to the signal.

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

Block Parameters

Parameter Field	Values	Comments/Description
Name	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Base name of the override. Should be unique and C-legal (no special characters such as spaces, dashes or commas (underscore allowed).
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.
Help Text	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Enter text to describe block usage per needs.
Units	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Engineering units of the override.
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	Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed	Sets the desired precision of the variable for use by suitable Instrumentation tools. For instance, if the variable has a value of 98.76543 and the precision is ‘1.3’, the value displayed would be 98.765.
Gain	Numeric Value	Multiplier component of the conversion equation that converts a native value into an engineering units value (see Engineering Values versus Native Values).
Offset	Numeric Value	Offset component of the conversion equation that converts a native value into an engineering units value (see Engineering Values versus Native Values).
Exponent	Numeric Value	Exponent component of the conversion equation that converts a native value into an engineering units value (see Engineering Values versus Native Values).
Instrumentation Group	Alpha-numeric text	Defines the desired Folder name and hierarchy to be used by suitable Instrumentation Tools. Use "|" character between folder names to delineate subfolder structure.
