HOUSING 2G2228 - Caterpillar

- Refer to the Cat Electronic Technician.Fill Factor - The fill factor is determined by dividing the actual volume of the load by the maximum volume of the load. The fill factor is expressed as a percentage.Flash Files - Flash Files are software programs that contain instructions on the operation of electronic controls. The programs are transferred from the off-board service tool to any on-board electronic control. Refer to “Flash Programming”.Flash Memory - Flash Memory is solid-state memory that is used in electronic controls. The memory can be reprogrammed with an off-board service tool through a data link without being removed from the control. Other types of memory can only be programmed outside of the control.Flash Programming - Flash programming is a means of programming an electronic control. Flash programming is also used to update the software of a control. Flash programming is done with an off-board service tool instead of replacing the control or a personality module. This process involves the transfer of configuration software from the service tool to the electronic control. Communication is done over a data link. See “Flash Memory” and “Uploading”.Gage - Refer to Gauge.Gauge - A Gauge is a type of display device. The gauge is usually a circular shape with an indicator needle. The gauge can be a mechanical device or a solid-state device.Hardware (H/W) - Hardware refers to the electrical components and electronic components that make up an electrical system.Icon - An Icon is a symbol that is used instead of words to convey a message in any language.Input/Output (I/O) - Input/Output (I/O) is a term that describes the electronic circuits within an electronic control. These circuits are used as inputs. Input components are sensors and switches. These circuits are used as outputs from the control to the external circuits. Output components are horns, lamps, and solenoids.kPa - Refer to Kilopascal.Keypad - The keypad is a panel of keys that is like the number pad that is used on a telephone. The keypad is used as an interface to the onboard electrical system.Key Start Switch - The key start switch is an automotive start switch. The switch includes the functions that are listed here: ON (relay), CRANK, and ACCESSORYKilopascal (kPa) - kPa is a Metric unit of measure. A NEWTON is equal to the force that is applied to one sq m. (6.89 kPa = 1 psi).List box - The List box is a rectangular box with scroll bars that contains a scrollable list of items. Selection is accomplished by clicking the desired entry. Other list boxes permit the user to select multiple items.Load Cycle - The load cycle is equivalent to a "pass".Load Factor - The load factor is determined by dividing the actual mass of the load by the maximum mass of the load. The load factor is expressed as a percentage.Loading Software - Loading Software is the process of transferring a program and/or configuration into an electronic control from an off-board service tool.
