11.6 LIVE DATA CONTROL
M1 Tune is able to display live data as it happens.
The values are displayed in a combination of charts, graphs, and gauges. Displaying live data
allows monitoring of the running engine.
At times, it may be necessary to go back in time to look at an event that occurred during the live
data display. To do this, it is necessary to use the Time Graph component.
To view a past event it is necessary to pause the live display using the Pause button on the menu
toolbar or by pressing T (recording of live data continues to occur, but the screen is not
updated). When M1 Tune live data is paused, the "Connected" icon flashes between
and and channel values pause in all components.
After pausing, it possible to move the cursor in the Time Graph back to the point in time that is to
be examined (all components display values as they were for the time selected). From this
position, you can zoom in and out to look at data in more detail, same as in i2.
Using the Pause function is a fast way to work during an engine tune. The engine can be ramped
up through its range, and once that is done, the M1 Tune live data can be paused. This allows
the tuner to now go back and examine in detail the ramp run, and all values from that point in
time.
When the M1 Tune application is to taken out of pause (by using the Pause button or pressing T ),
the component value displays and the Time Graph will return to the live display state.
