If EFILive is installed on a PC with the Windows regional settings as "English - (United States)", the default units will be Imperial. This means that calibrations such as the spark maps will be displayed with the air flow labels displayed in Oz/Cylinder rather than the preferred units of Grams/Cylinder.
EFILive provides a way to customize the units used to display the calibration data, the column labels and the row labels.
For example, to change all calibrations from Oz/Cylinder to Grams/Cylinder, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure all calibration windows are closed, if they are not, then you will be prompted to close them.
2. Select the menu option: "Edit->Configure display units...". Be patient, it can take a few seconds to load all the calibrations' display units and precision information.
3. Click on the header labelled "Column units". That will sort the list so that all calibrations that use Oz/cylinder will appear together in the list.
Note: you can adjust the column widths of the display by dragging or double clicking the vertical column-separator bars in the header.
4. Select all the calibrations that have Oz/Cylinder specified in the "Column Units" column. You can select multiple rows by clicking on the first item, then hold the shift and click on the last item.
5. Right click on any one of the selected rows and select "Column label units->Metric" to change the Oz/Cylinder units to Grams/Cylinder units. See image below.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the "Row units" column.
7. Click OK
Note: Clicking on the buttons at the bottom marked [Imperial] and [Metric] will instantly change ALL calibrations and all rows and columns to Metric or Imperial - whether they are selected or not.
You can also use this window to configure the default data precision (number of decimal places) and the calibration's group. The Navigator can be restricted to showing only particular groups of calibrations using the Navigator's group-selection, drop down list.
WARNING:
When you want to link data between the Tuning Tool maps and the Scan Tool charts, the PIDs that are used to link the data MUST use the same units. You cannot link the {CALC.CYLAIR} or {GM.DYNCYLAIR} PIDs in the Scan Tool as Grams/Cylinder with a Tuning Tool map that uses Oz/Cylinder. The same goes for {SAE.MAP}, you cannot link MAP as inHg in the Tuning Tool with MAP as kPa in the Scan Tool.
The units and precision configuration units are stored in a standard Windows ini file format, in the file named:
