Well, I am learning.
The "Trip Computer" has Trip 2 plus the other things you see above. The "On Board Computer" has Trip 1 and it looks similar to the picture above. These names in parenthesis are important to remember.
The Trip Computer is reset manually (no option for automatic). I don't know yet if I can reset one value at a time or must reset all values at once. It's not in the manual but it's easy to see on the TFT screen but I am not looking at the TFT now.
The On Board Computer can be reset automatically and acts like the daily trip on the Nav V (I think), it will reset in the morning (actually on hours past since the bike ran) but resets all values in the On Board Computer page, of which Trip 1 is one of the values. So if set to "auto" you can't use this for gas. If you set it to reset manually, then you can reset all values or one value at a time and then you can reset Trip 1 only every time you gas up. The Trip Computer that contains Trip 2 can be manually reset at gas stops, I think, if this page allows a single item to be reset.
Are you with me so far? Simple stuff, right?
The salesman mentioned some of the other stuff like "Break" and "total time" and other stuff is useful for long trips - reminders to stop and take a break and other info I am leaving for later. As of right now, my butt and my bladder don't need no stinking TFT reading to tell me when to stop.
I think that maybe by the end of this week, I'll know how to do the things I want to do on the TFT. I'll go for the 600 mile service later this week and I can get the salesman to run me through the TFT again and I can fill in the gaps on stuff I don't know.
Triangle, thanks for the pictures above, very helpful. I was thinking of doing that, and I'll probably do that in a few days to further explain what I know so far.
