LS1B - 12587603 here

B0101 is stuck in g*K/kPa units
B0102 is stuck in VE % units

Seems like a small bug that I can't cycle thru the display units for the VE tables. Any ideas or fixes?

I'm finding out.

The units conversion from g*K/kPa to %, g/cyl or g/s is not a trivial conversion. The conversion requires additional information: such as cylinder volume, MAP, charge temperature, RPM etc.
The V7 software is set up to manage those specific unit conversions, the V8 software is not yet set up to do that. It is possibly something that will be added in a later update.

OK, thank you for the follow up. I guess I just found it odd that the main VE table was in one set of units and the cranking table in another set of units. I'll standby for the V8 updates.

Agreed, when I went to investigate that I was also surprised - I am still looking into that, just in case I've labeled the % one incorrectly. I will let you know in this thread when I figure it out.

B0101 is defined in the LS1 PCM as g*K/kPa
B0102 is defined in the LS1 PCM as %
Those same units are used in the V8 software.

The V7 software has a specific routine that converts B0102 back to g*K/kPa so that both tables appear with the same units. And so that the unit change from g*K/kPa to g/cyl, g/s or % can be made more easily across both tables.
I will re-implement a similar thing in the V8 software - it should have been done like that right from the start. That was an oversight in the V8 development. Hopefully it won't take long to implement a solution.

Sounds good, thanks!
