This is partly a bug report and partly a suggestion for a new feature.
I updated my EFIS-D100 and EMS-D120 to 4.0. It's great to have ALL functions available on both screens!
First, the bug report. My OAT is connected to the EMS-D120 GP Input 3. I see that I can change units to Fahrenheit or Centigrade on either screen and the change is effective on both screens. However in the EMS SETUP>SENSORS>GP_INPUT3 the color threshold values are set as Fahrenheit units, even if the displayed units are Celsius. This is a very minor bug; in fact the colors still come out in the correct relative position on the bar graph provided I do the mental math when setting up the thresholds.
Now for the suggested new feature. My primary concern with OAT is when the temperature is near freezing. So I would like to add yellow bands at 0C +/- 2 and a red band and alarm at 0C +/- 1. The exact values (4 points) should be user adjustable, of course. This is similar to the RPM restricted range on the tach.
Do keep the existing color threshold at the top of the scale as well. It prompts us to consider density altitude.
Thanks!
