If for example your EFI is set by injector timing, just multiply the timing setting by the suggested
number.

This number is a suggested value only, different EFI systems will react differently.


9.11 Realtime indication in the chart and graph (Map tracing)


If the chart is opened for a realtime log while recording, or while playing back a log, the current
engine state (the bin it is running in) is indicated in the chart (table) view by highlighting the
appropriate bin as in this:


Or as a ‘bouncing yellow ball’ in the 3D graph as in the example on the right.

In the graph view the position of the ball shows the real current values the engine is

running, not just the bin it is running in.

Do not use the realtime view of the 3D graph unless your computer is at least a

800MHz Pentium II and has a graphics system with 3D acceleration. The 3D graph updates
and warps in realtime as the data becomes available. The processing requirements for that
are very intense.
This warning does not apply to tracing during playback.

9.12 Some tips on working with charts


You have to be careful when using the chart for tuning the main fuel map of your EFI system. The
chart reflects what’s in the log, including transition points and so on. So acceleration enrichment
and possible warm-up enrichment are reflected in the averages as well. The best way to create a
chart is to create an as long log as possible with steady load points. This way the effects of
transitions are minimized. The fewer data points are represented, the less reliable the data. This
is reflected as well in the standard deviation.
