[CA] [CA11] Continuing problems with Axiom Fuel Manager

[jfitch]

Here is the first of the logs. Saving the logs is not documented and required some trial and error. When you get to the NMEA log screen, you must touch the save to button which defaults to "SD1". This produces a pop up giving the choice of "External SD" or "External USB". Selecting one dismisses the pop up, but does not change the label on the button which now STILL says "SD1". This is a bug - should change the label to External USB. Once that is done press "Start Recording" and it will record to the USB if that is what you selected, despite what the button says. Press "Stop Recording" seems to terminate the file, though this is not confirmed as it is elsewhere in the user interface. To be consistent, it ought to say "saved to USB" or something.

I powered up the instruments and MFD first, and then screen shot the fuel manager. Note that the day has rolled and the day's totals are zero, though many of the other figures are bogus. I started the log, then turned on the key, waited for the J1939 stream to populate the Raymarine displays, then started the engine. This is my normal procedure. After a minute I stopped the log and took the second screen shot. Notice that in the second screen shot, the fuel used for the season has been copied into the days use, and also added to the trip total. When I repeated all of this, the fuel manager display looked like the second picture prior to key activation, and did not change after engine start.

I also noticed while looking at the NMEA stream that with key on but engine not started a new device appears, presumably the Smartcraft interface. But shortly after starting the engine several other things appear as well. I have also attached a NMEA device file for just Raymarine active, then key on, then after engine start.

I will be running the boat over to Canada early next week and will get the running under load captures then.
