Great news Steve, cant wait to get my hands on one, have the perfect bike in mind for it already, did a camset and it has a dfo, tuning with a dfo is like trying to get to a bolt with a wrench that just wont fit no matter how you turn it. As for the misspelled words, are you talking about the software, or the wording in the reports from the testers, lol

 

It's me! I get going to fast and just figure everyone knows what I mean so it's going to be some clean up and a good spell checker to the rescue. If that's all we have to deal with I happy.

 

Great......when can we hear about features, etc.?

 

Steve,
One question I have is - will the new software product at a minimum give a read only view of the hidden tables associated with the different calibration files so that one can get a view of the entire set of data that is stored in the file?

 

The product has more information for the end user to edit and change but there is no way that we can show everything that is in the ECM. For the most part it is things that most would not understand let alone know how to use them. Different levels of software will have different features as some support more things than others. A Typical calibration will have the following items that can be edited

Air-Fuel Ratio
VE Front Cylinder
VE Rear Cylinder
PE Air-Fuel Ratio
Warmup Enrichment
Cranking Fuel
O2 bias
Accel Enrichment
Decel Enleanment
Spark Advance Front Cylinder
Spark Advance Rear Cylinder
PE Spark
Spark Temperature Correction
Closed Throttle Spark
Knock Retard Spark
Idle RPM
IAC Warmup Steps
IAC Crank Steps
Engine Displacement
Injectors Size Knock Control
EITMS Control
RPM Limit
Fan control (V-rod)

and more but this should give you all an idea of whats coming in Mastertune alone! Then you get DataMaster and V-tune software packages as well.

 

Which one would show an injector shut down/off time?

 

you mean injector pulse width

 

Duty cycle is what you are looking for and isa function or RPM and commanded pulse width. It is apparently a big secret in the Harley world.

[PulseWidth] * [RPM] / 1200 so a pulse width of 20ms at 6000 RPM would be 20 * 6000 / 1200= 100% Duty Cycle

10ms pulse widthwould give 50% DC

When I look at a data log for a touring model I can see an injector shut off in the column of pulse width. Something must tell this when to shut off and for how long as it varies from map to map. A good example is between calibrations 67 (never shuts off)and 78 (shuts off). This occurs when the throttle is let off and the map load is below 15 kPa. I don't know what you call it I can only say what I observe. So if you were to cut and paste 78 values into 67 so they look exactly alike the new map with 67 as the base would not shut it down. Therefore there must be something behind the scenes that tells the injectors to shut down. I am just curious as to what the differences are between the two that I cannot see and hoped that the new software would display more of the tables.

 

Decel eleanment will shut them down at times
