Italian term

allestimento

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
"Allestimento" is always a difficult one and this time I need your help to find the most English sounding translation. The context is a manual for an electronic control and monitoring system installed in a tip truck available in various versions with different "allestimenti"to perform different functions. "La schermata di monitoraggio varia secondo il tipo di allestimento", or again: In allestimenti COMBI e SCAV, la schermata di monitoraggio è organizzata come nella seguente figura". I have seen the various suggestions here in Proz, but none seem to fit the bill. Thanks for your help, Sarah.

Proz (rightly) keeps asking me to close the question, which I've done... but I'd still like to be able to enter Phil's "configuration" into the glossary...
Sarah Gregg (asker) Nov 2, 2014:
I agree that Phil's "configuration" works well in this context... if you could post it as an answer Phil, I can choose it and submit it for the glossary. In the meantime, thanks to you all for your contributions.

Personally I like phil's configuration

You could also say version or configuration.

Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : I don't think "trim" works, because that's mostly decorative, and "model" doesn't either, because a model can come in lots of different configurations. "Outfitting" would work, but "equipment" is very widely used in the industry.
