As I’ve been playing with ISIS tank level calibration for what seems like forever, it dawned on me to ask, where are the previous calibrations for fuel, water and waste? My ISIS system has been working (I think) since 2010, surely these had been calibrated before? Are these saved in a windows file somewhere? Thanks.
I don't know how old your ISIS is, but I did a lot of reverse engineering back in 2004 on a vintage 1995 ISIS , which was DOS based. Here's an excerpt from my notes: Volatile data files: ALARM.LOG ALEVELS.LOG (needs a chksum file) CHANDELS.LOG unknown, mostly zero (needs a chksum file) CKS checksum of something CV0-3: look up tables for calibration. CV3 is freshwater. CV2 is fuel LUTS.LST index of CV0-3 *RUN*.DAT: 4 files of historical data MAINTVAL.LST has mtce timers, status (needs a chksum file) cf MAINTVAL.dalynotes MNTSTR.LST has text strings for mtce tasks (needs a chksum file) PRIORITY.LOG unknown, not much in it. (needs a chksum file) TUNEUP.LOG: run timers: 5 lines of hours, seconds The format of the tuneup file (for Lazzara boats) File contents Hours and seconds elapsed on hhhh ssss Port engine hhhh ssss Stbd engine hhhh ssss Port gen hhhh ssss Stbd gen hhhh ssss Watermaker once S-gen hrs and secs was corrupted, plus an extra (sixth) line. sixth line is optional - it is Isis run time. checksum file is ascii character representation of 16 bit(or more?, but 16 bits is plenty for small file) checksum of byte stream in the file. to make a new tuneup (hour meter) file, just make a new ascii file with 5 lines, each with hrs<spc>0 (cf RGM fix sample) and a new checksum file with typed in hex number (sum of byte stream of ascii codes)
Maybe a better question is, are tank levels supposed to be set at the sensors (pictured) or at the ISIS software?
Even with Windows based systems, the configuration data is still saved in files on the Windows PC. Usually in file names much like what Tom listed above. Safest to always backup your entire ISIS program folder to a memory stick to protect against an eventual drive or PC failure.
