Dening Custom Fastnet Menus
usermenu.d
This le enables you to either add a function to an existing menu or add a new menu with associated functions.
In the le example shown below we have added two new menus called DECKMAN and SAILS with functions
and we have also added two functions to the existing PARAMTR menu. Note that the Deckman functions are all
named RemoteX as the Deckman software will send the relevant function text with the function – here we are
just dening a placeholder in the menu.
DECKMAN 01b1 03
REMOTE1 01b1 01 F0
REMOTE2 01b1 02 F1
REMOTE3 01b1 03 F2
REMOTE4 01b1 04 F3
SAILS 01b2 04
MAIN_POS 01b2 01 A1
JIB_CAR_P 01b2 02 A2
JIB_CAR_S 01b2 03 A3
CWA______@ 0112 04 A8
CWS______@ 0112 05 A9
The le format here is best dealt with by looking at part of the example above:
SAILS 01b2 04
MAIN_POS 01b2 01 A1
JIB_CAR_P 01b2 02 A2
JIB_CAR_S 01b2 03 A3
The rst line creates a new menu called SAILS, format as follows:
Menu name As is appears on the display - “SAILS” in the example above
Menu ID number New menus use ID numbers 01b1, 01b2, 01b3 etc.
Menu position Identies where the menu appears in the Display - here it is 4th in the chain
The following lines add functions to the menu – here we are adding three functions to the menu, the Mainsheet
Traveller position and Jib Car positions (port and starboard). The format is as follows:
Function Name As is appears on the display - e.g. “MAIN_POS” in the example above*
Menu group ID The ID number of the menu group the function is to appear in
Function order The position in the menu the function should appear (simple 01, 02, 03 etc.)
Fastnet Function No. The hexadecimal value of the fastnet function number
* If you wish to display units use “_” for a space, “@” for a degrees sign.
Function Name As is appears on the display - e.g. “MAIN_POS” in the example above*
Menu group ID The ID number of the menu group the function is to appear in
Function order The position in the menu the function should appear (simple 01, 02, 03 etc.)
