2. Understanding The Engine Monitor 

The Engine Monitor software runs on a KAntrak™ display (see section 19 for further details on 

the KAntrak™ platform) with five soft keys, providing a flexible and intuitive Human-Machine 

Interface (HMI). The 5 soft keys access a graphical menu structure that uses standard and easily-

understood icons to indicate the key’s current function. This enables the operator to select the 

required engine/transmission data and display it in the following formats: 

• Analogue gauges

• Digital values 

• Historical trend graphs

• Current and stored alarm messages

Additionally, various diagnostic screens are available, allowing detailed investigation of the engine 

and transmission data stream. The underlying structure of the Engine Monitor and its interaction 

with the soft keys may be understood by Figure 1. By accessing the Configuration menu, users 

can customise some of the displayed data to show, for example, metric or imperial units, and 

various parameters such as the full-scale reading of gauges.
