Methods and systems for display screens with relative coordinate systems

A system for generating a display associated with a data bus for a machine, the system comprising:

• at least one data storage device storing processor-readable instructions stored therein;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the data storage device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving operations data from the data bus for a generator, engine, turbine, appliance, or vehicle;
• extracting parameter information from the operations data, wherein the parameter information includes data obtained from one or more sensors associated with the generator, engine, turbine, appliance, or vehicle;
• generating a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the parameter information by:
• determining a predetermined default display screen resolution associated with the display;
• determining a plurality of arrangement rules associated with displaying a plurality of parameter elements, the plurality of parameter elements being determined at least in part based on the parameter information;
• arranging each parameter element of the plurality of parameter elements relative to a coordinate system according to the plurality of arrangement rules;
• scaling each parameter element of the plurality of parameter elements based on the predetermined default display screen resolution;
• and
• displaying the scaled plurality of parameter elements on the GUI on the display;
• upon determining that parameter information associated with at least one parameter element was not received from the data bus for the generator, engine, turbine, appliance, or vehicle, rearranging the plurality of parameter elements based on the plurality of arrangement rules to remove the at least one parameter element of the plurality of parameter elements;
• and
• displaying the rearranged plurality of parameter elements on the GUI on the display.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for generating a display associated with a data bus for a machine, storing instructions to execute operations comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, operations data from the data bus for operations data from the data bus for a generator, engine, turbine, or vehicle;
• extracting, by the processor, parameter information from the operations data, wherein the parameter information includes data obtained from a sensor;
• generating, by the processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the parameter information by:
• determining a predetermined default display screen resolution associated with the display;
• arranging a plurality of parameter elements relative to a coordinate system according to two or more arrangement rules;
• scaling one or more parameter elements of the plurality of parameter elements based on the predetermined default display screen resolution;
• and
• displaying the GUI on the display;
• determining, by the processor, whether parameter information associated with a first parameter element was received from the data bus, generator, engine, turbine, or vehicle;
• upon determining that parameter information associated the first parameter element was not received from the data bus for the generator, engine, turbine, or vehicle, rearranging, by the processor, the plurality of parameter elements based on the two or more arrangement rules to remove the first parameter element;
• and
• displaying, by the processor, the rearranged plurality of parameter elements on the GUI on the display.
