It will pretty much work on the principle what you described, although it wont look historically that accurate. I resolved the visibilities, and put on it a third dial which can be adjusted with the mousewheel to your preferred distance, and it winds down as you travel. Tomorrow I will make the alarm functionality and the auto- pausing, I dont think, that it will be particularly hard to implement, thats just two functions which are calling for a wav file and give a pause command, easypeasy. What is hard to implement are the imperial units, since all of the dials are made for metric measurements, for nm's it has to be cut up to display decimals as well, then I guess somehow we need to programmatically switch dials to the correct system, and currently I dont even know how to ask programmatically which system the kernel is using. Im quite sure there is a command for that, which I didnt find yet. Then I guess the visibility of the preferred dial config is actually easy to adjust. But it can be certainly solved since a lots of gauges work on both systems.
