This was Alarming!

Working with lots of people on their data acquisition systems, I've seen lots of different dash and alarm light configurations. I always try to explain to people that the dash display and alarms are there for them, and they can be arranged in whatever way helps the driver the most. For many people, that means that we put the most important items all on one side, so when a light in an area comes on, they know it's important. Other items that are not as important, go on the other side so they can look and analyze what is going on when they have some time/capacity while driving. 

This is the first time I've seen this. Please don't tape over the alarm lights on your dash! We're here to help. I can walk you through reprogramming your dash so you don't have to tape over lights you don't want to be on!
