PAVAS Menu List

PAVAS, at this time, contains 24 menus. It is anticipated that addition menus will be added. Learning such a system is difficult due to the number of choices that can be made so the PAVAS menu list is divided down into nine sections. The nine sections are selected in descending order of possible access. As the menu index progresses, the likelihood of using that menu decreases. It is worth noting that the Set the Default Startup Menu is most useful when a menu is called repeatedly. It alleviates the problem of scrolling down a number of menus and selecting it, when PAVAS is started. This frequently occurs at the start of a stage.

The first section is the Run Modes. These are grouped at the start of the list and consist of the Alarm Speed Mode, TSD Run Mode , the Regularity Run Mode and Targa Florio Run

The second group is the Log menus. These show the logs for TSD and Regularity stages that have been run.

The third section is setting the alarm levels. They are Alarm (Overspeed) Speed, the Low Speed Limit, the Alert (Warble) Speed limit.

The fourth section is setting the stage parameters. These are the TSD Stage Speed and Distance , the Regularity Speed and Distance and Targa Florio.

The fifth section is the calibration menus. The first is calibrate the speed by Comparison to 60 kph, Calibrate Speed by Comparison to a variable speed, Calibrate Wheel by a Surveyed Distance, Calibrate Wheel by Direct Data or measurement and Adjust MCU Clock to by Speed.

The sixth section is the Status and Demonstration menus. These are the Status with Speed and Distance, the Speed Alarm, TSD Demonstration, Regularity Demonstration and Targa Florio. Demonstration modes allow the driver and navigator is become familiar with the system in a more relaxed environment.

The seventh section is setting system parameters. These are Set the Alarm Volume, Set the Calculation Mode, Generate a Simulated Wheel pulse signal.

The eighth section is the Log Erase functions. They are Erase TSD log and Erase Regularity Log.

The ninth sections are some additional system parameters. They are Set the Debounce Time, Data Logging and set the Default Start up menu.

PAVAS menus are designed such that all the calibration and set up functions can be done before the event to minimize activating up at the start of the event.

Note: Special pages describe the Targa Florio Stages Introduction, Rules and Methods used in PAVAS.

The PAVAS Terminal program is described here. This Windows ® based program uses a serial connection via a USB driver to configure PAVAS, transfer data logs and plot stage results.
