I would like to modify an existing PID calc to read my autometer.

10 to 20 afr between 0 to 4 volts. ie (2.5 * v) +10

is that possible and how do you do it.

thanks'

If you mean one of the pre-defined WO2 pids, like the PLX:
({EXT.AD1}*2)+10

Then you will edit the entry in the sae.generic.txt located in:
C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration

The best way to do this would be to add it to the calc_pid.txt so
it won't be overwritten after a software update.

thanks for the reply.

that's what I would like to install "({EXT.AD1}*2.5)+10"

in C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration, sae.generic.txt.

now the next problem
error reported
required parameter ext.ad1 at position 10 not selected,

there is always something else.

thanks in advance

how do you select this?

Select the pid EXT.AD1 (on the PIDs tab double click on it).

Beware: when you update to a newer build version of V7, the file sae_generic.txt will be overwritten (your edit will be lost).

there we go, I wasn't looking in the drop down menu labeled "system", to select "Externals"

thanks, I'm getting a reading now.
