Setting The Preferences Using The EMCP 3 Display

language (to select between the customer language and Technician English).

NOTE: These preferences do not affect operation of the EMCP 3 or the data as viewed in the Caterpillar® Service Tool. They only affect how the text and data is converted and displayed on the EMCP 3 GSC display.

SETTING THE PREFERENCES USING THE EMCP 3 DISPLAY

On the EMCP 3 display, the Preferences menu is located at the bottom of the Main Menu.

The preferences are listed, with the current settings shown to the right (except language, whose current setting is usually obvious).

For any preference, press ENTER KEY to accept the change (or ESCAPE KEY to reject the change) and return to the Preferences menu.

PREFERENCES

CONTRAST This determines the darkness of the pixels on the display. A contrast setting of zero (reached by pressing and holding the down or left arrow) effectively blanks the screen, and a contrast setting of 100 (reached by pressing and holding the up or right arrow) effectively darkens the entire screen. PRESSURE This allows pressure parameters (such as Engine Oil Pressure) and setpoints (such as Low Engine Oil Pressure Event Threshold) to be shown in either kPa, psi, or bar. Select the desired unit with the left or right arrows. TEMPERATURE This allows temperature parameters (such as Engine Coolant Temperature) and setpoints (such High Engine Coolant Temperature Event Threshold) to be shown in either Celsius (Centigrade) or degrees Fahrenheit.

VOLUME

(EMCP 3.3 only)

This allows volume parameters (such as Fuel Volume) to be shown in either Liters, Imperial Gallons, or US Gallons. LANGUAGE This allows the display to be switched between Technician English (always listed first) and the customer language (always listed second, and written in the font of the customer language). The below example shows the language selection in the German language flash file. The LANGUAGE setting has been conveniently located at the bottom of the Preferences menu, which is at the bottom of the Main Menu. If an EMCP 3 which is set to display an unknown language, the following steps will change the language to Technician English, regardless of the current screen, and without needing to read the text.
