Help to make Calc PIDs in V8

[wesam]

Hello EFI Live team
I hope there will be a tutorial to help make Calculated PIDs in V8

Thanks in advance

I thought the was a thread which briefly showed how, but I can't find it :doh:I'll look for it.


In the meantime see attached example file from my folder C:\Users\joecar\Documents\EFILive\V8\Config (remove the .txt from the end of the filename).



[Groups]
GLOBAL=Global Functions
WO2SER=Wide Band O2 Sensors (Serial-Comms)
WO2CAN=Wide Band O2 Sensors (CAN-bus)

[GLOBAL]
FUNCTION="Global Functions",factor,0

[GLOBAL.FUNCTION]
0=|-- GLOBAL.FUNCTION
1=|function iff(x,y,z)
2=|if (x) then return y else return z end
3=|end

[WO2SER]
WO2BEN="Base Efficiency Numerator (Serial-Comms)(Dynamically-Leanest)",factor,3

[WO2SER.WO2BEN]
0=|-- WO2SER.WO2BEN
1=|return iff(pid("WO2LAM1")>pid("WO2LAM2"),pid("WO2LAM1"),pid("WO2LAM2"))*pid("EQIVRATIO")

[WO2CAN]
WO2BEN="Base Efficiency Numerator (CAN-bus)(Dynamically-Leanest)",factor,3

[WO2CAN.WO2BEN]
0=|-- WO2CAN.WO2BEN
1=|return iff(pid("WO2S11")>pid("WO2S21"),pid("WO2S11"),pid("WO2S21"))/pid("EQ_RAT")

Sorry for my ignorance Joe. I just looked at the thread again and realized there was an attachment!
Thank-you!

Why not just use the built in Calc PIDs editor?

In the Scan Window, click the drop down arrow on the [Options] button and select "Calculated PIDs" (or just use the Ctrl+K hot key).

Calc PIDs in data logs are updated instantly (when you close the calc pids editor, or click [Apply]) , no need to try and understand/edit the calc pid *.ini data files.

You can also export/import calculated PID groups to easily share your own calc PIDs with other users. Just right click on the group's icon and select import or export.

Paul, you meant the down arrow on the [Config] button.

Yes, I'm getting too old for this...

Hi Joe, which folder does this attachment reside, i put it in C:\Users\Andy\Documents\EFILive\V8\Config. I cant see the pids when i open V8 scan. I can manage calc pids in V7.5, need a push in the right direction :)

[joecar]

Yes, the file UserCalculatedPids.ini correctly resides in that folder C:\Users\Andy\Documents\EFILive\V8\Config

When you open V8 S&T, click Scan, look over in the RH pane (yellow) Available PIDs, expand Calculated, you should see your pids here.

[joecar]

Post your UserCalculatedPids.ini file here, let me look in it...

[joecar]

Hi Joe, if i am following correctly, create a group name (up to me), create a pid name (up to me), copy and paste code in its entirety, save job done?


Yes, pretty much, as long as the syntax of the pasted code is correct...

when editing the pid equation in V8, there is a button fx Test to check that the pid is correctly syntaxed.


That button is also available if you double click on a pid in the green pane.

Hi Joe, downloaded and moved your UserCalculatedpids.ini file to the said location, I dont see the calc pids show up up in the right hand pane nor the pid editor, i took some screen shots

[Gelf VXR]

I fixed it, after i copied the file to the location, another is automatically created, with cog icon, but the file is empty, i copied and paste the test into the editor, and deleted the original file i copied :)

Glad to see calc pids available in V8 :)

Cool, good job :cheers:
