Customise sensor fields

You can choose which  Fields  are displayed in each sensor by modifying the Sensor preferences  file (which can be exported  and then imported from the Tools  drop down menu).

This file gives a list of all the sensors available in Ashes. In each line contining a sensor, a list of all the fields available for that sensor is given. The image below gives an example of a Sensor preferences file:

As an example, line 33 defines the fields displayed for the Wind sensor . Since there are only two columns on this line with data, the wind sensor can only have two fields. These two fields are Reference speed  and Angle , as shown in the Wind sensor  document.

The format of each of the columns is as follows:

'field index' & 'displayed or not' & 'metric prefix'  

In the example above, the field Reference speed  has the index 1, is currently displayed and has no prefix (it will therefore be displayed in its default unit, in this case meteres per second).

It order to modify the wind sensor so that the Angle field is not displayed and the Reference wind speed is displayed in mm/s, the sensor preferences file has to be modified as follows:

When the modified file has been imported, the Wind sensor  will be displayed as follows:

As expected, the Reference wind is shown in mm/s and the Angle is not shown.
