Method for programming a vehicle monitoring and control system
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computer to automatically produce control software for an information manager on a machine, the information manager having a microprocessor, the control software being adapted to run on the microprocessor to display information relating to the machine, the method including the steps of:
- (1) as a function of operator input, defining a set of information manager specifications, wherein said set of information manager specifications includes a primary machine parameter to be sensed by the information manager, an event and corresponding action, wherein said event is a function of said primary machine parameter; and
(2) producing control software to operate the information manager as specified by said specifications and to perform Said action if said one event occurs.
