The Vital Information Display System (VIDS) is an integral part of all electronic machine operations.

The following list describes the keys that are related to the functions of the power train.

"MORE" - The "MORE" key allows the operator or service personnel to toggle the display of an active diagnostic code between a display of text and a display of the MID/CID/FMI. The "MORE" key will also toggle the information that is displayed when a list of an active event or logged events is viewed. The "MORE" key will display a parameter value when a data event occurs.

GAUGE - The "GAUGE" key allows the operator or service personnel to view the value of any parameter. The parameter name and the numeric value are shown on the message area (3). An analog value is shown on the universal gauge (2) if the type of data is applicable.

The "GAUGE" key may be used in three different ways in order to access information.

• The "GAUGE" key is used to scroll to the desired parameter from the entire list of parameters. Press and release the "GAUGE" key one time. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the available parameters.

• The "GAUGE" key is used to scroll to the desired parameter from a category of parameters. The categories are "ALL", "ENGINE", "POWERTRAIN", "IMPLEMENT", "SERVICE", and "OPERATOR". Press and release the "GAUGE" key two times. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the categories. Select the desired category by pressing the "OK" key. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the available parameters within a category.

• The "GAUGE" key is used to go directly to the parameter that is desired. Press and release the "GAUGE" key three times. Enter the number of the parameter that is desired. Press the "OK" key.

A parameter will remain displayed on the message center when the "OK" key is depressed and a parameter is being viewed. The selected parameter may be replaced at any time. On powerup, the system defaults to "ENG SPD".

The power train is configured to contain the following gauge parameters:

OK - The "OK" key is used during the following tasks: acknowledgment of events, completion of entries and selection of options.

CANCEL - The CANCEL key is used to cancel the current selection.

"<" and ">" - The arrow keys are used to scroll through lists of information. The right arrow is the Forward direction. The left arrow is the Backward direction.

MENU - The "MENU" key is used to access the Main Menu of standard functions.

SETUP - The "SETUP" key is used in order to access the menu for the "ID menu". Use the numeric keypad or use the arrow keys in order to select an option. The options are listed below:

"Select Operator" (1) - This option allows the selection of an operator ID from a list.

"Save Operator" (2) - This option records the settings for an operator ID.

"Recall Operator" (3) - This mode recalls the settings that were previously stored to an operator ID.

"Operator Setup" (4) - This mode records a new operator ID or this mode erases an existing operator ID.

"ServiceToggle Mode" (5) - This mode allows the service technician to toggle the service mode on and off.

Note: The service mode must be in the ON position in order to perform calibrations with the Vital Information Display System (VIDS).

The following message is displayed when a calibration procedure is entered and the service mode is not enabled.

The VIDS will display the following message once the service mode is selected from the "ID menu".

Note: The VIDS will prompt you for a password when the service mode is entered.

The VIDS will display the following message if the password is correct.

Note: A password can be displayed and a password can be set with the Caterpillar ET service tool.

"Factory Defaults" (6) - This mode is used to reset the current settings to the factory defaults.

SET MACH - The "SET MACH" key is used to configure the features for the control of the machine. The "SET MACH" is also used to view the Operator's settings.

HELP - The "HELP" key provides information that is associated with the current operation.

Note: An active event needs to be acknowledged with the "OK" key before any other key can be used.

Note: For a more detailed description of VIDS, refer to Service Manual, SENR9413, "Vital Information Display System" .
