Abstract:
1. A PTO-logic-configuration system for enabling the user thereof to quickly and easily configure at least a portion of PTO-monitoring/control logic according to which a PTO-monitoring/control computer, which monitors performance of a vehicle and a PTO unit thereof through a vehicle-monitoring network, will operate, comprising: (a) PTO-logic-configuration software that is embodied in computer useable medium and that comprises a plurality of application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements; (b) operating instructions for enabling communication to a user of said PTO-logic-configuration system a list of said application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements and both what application each is tailored for and what aspect of PTO-monitoring/control each is adapted for; (c) for each one of said application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements, a prescribed method of integrating said one of said application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements into the PTO-monitoring/control logic; (d) for each said prescribed method for integrating said one of said application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements into the PTO-monitoring/control logic, operating instructions for enabling communication to the user of said prescribed method for integrating said one of said application-specific PTO-monitoring/control algorithm elements into the PTO-monitoring/control logic.
