Listed in the "Status Data" and "Faults" sheets are the types of data that MyGeotab can ingest from the GO device, Hardware Add-On, or stand-alone Third Party Trackers (a.k.a Custom Telematics Device). If you’d like to send a data type that’s not listed, we can work with you to build support for it.

Status Data
The device sends the Code, as well as Raw Value to MyGeotab. MyGeotab then takes the Raw Value, and adjusts by the Conversion and the Offset. When MyGeotab makes the adjustment, the Conversion is always done first, followed by the Offset, as per the formula:

Final Value = (Raw Value × Conversion) + Offset

The UnitOfMeasure refers to the unit of measurement that you wish to see in MyGeotab after all the adjustments are complete. Geotab uses metric units, therefore all diagnostics are in metric units.

DataLength refers to the number of bytes that will store the Raw Value

Example:

If you are planning to report a temperature range from -40 °C to 215 °C, an offset of -40 is needed. The device sends values from 0 to 255 (can't send negative values). MyGeotab then subtract 40 from the value obtained from the device. This way a sent value of 0 by the device would then show up as -40 °C in MyGeotab. Such is the definition of Diagnostic with Code 53

If you intend to see battery current in 0.1 A increments on MyGeotab, then a Conversion of 0.1, and UnitOfMeasure of A should be used. This way when the device sends a value of 1223, the value is properly adjusted to 122.3 A on MyGeotab. Such is the definition of Diagnostic with Code 10

Faults
The device sends the Code, as well as the status of the fault (active or inactive). MyGeotab then displays the fault in the Faults menu.

recommendedForFleetManagement
The "recommendedForFleetManagement" field is to indicate whether the diagnostic is also among the Fleet Mangement Data sheet, which shows what diagnostics are related to the essential features of the MyGeotab system

Tips: as shown in the image on the right, you may create temporary filter view to filter for Diagnostics with Descriptions matching your need. Due to the lack of Advanced Search, the DescriptionAdditionalFilter column has been introduced to search words order-agnostically. Functionally, it is like the AND condition for Advanced Search

Geotabbers: Advanced Search is availalbe in the Internal version, Full MyGeotab Diagnostics [INT], please search Google Drive to find it
