Hi,
Having recently bought my MacGregor 26M with a DF50 - 2008 (remote throttle) & SMIS gauge, I've just now got around to programming the SMIS and would be glad of some assistance.
I've been able to program the display pages to my liking and they all appear to be receiving inputs correctly from the engine.
My question really relates to the reporting of engine cautions.
The standard gauge, that would have come with engine originally, had a tachometer plus 4 "check lights" underneath (occasionally supplemented by a buzzer) to report various engine cautions - eg over-revving, oil pressure, etc.
What I'm struggling to see is whether (and how) the SMIS handles these Cautions.
There is mention of an "Engine Diagnostic" page (which cannot be customized) but no mention of the function of this page beyond the fact that one can turn "Engine Warnings" on and off. It's not really clear if the Diagnostic page and the Engine Warnings are linked in some way.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
All I want to be sure of is that the warnings AND buzzers that were available with the simple Tacho gauge are still present with the SMIS.
Many thanks!
