View Full Version : Logging injector duty cycle with E38?

This seems like this issue has been hanging out there for a while. Why can't we log injector duty cycle with the E38?

I made a pid that takes ms and back calculates it but I am not sure if it is accurate.

Am I missing something?

I'm sure Paul already added this in to a recent release.

Which release? 66?

I spent 20 minutes on the dyno yesterday searching for one and couldn't find it. Can someone direct me to it or confirm its existence?

isnt it better to calculate it yourself? it doesn't eat up your bandwidth this way. I have a bunch of pids i calculate myself so i can cram more other, useful stuff without losing resolution.

I did create a pid but I am not sure if its correct. Based upon a 6000 rpm limit and injector can fire 20 ms at max. If I divided the actual ms into 20 and multiple by 100 it should give me duty cycle but what happens over 6000 rpms?

Thats where I am off.

convert RPM to Rotations per second (RPS=RPM/60, thus 6000RPM=100RPS)

you need to know a slightly different entity tho: how long does it take to make a rotation, so 1/100RPS= 0.01sec or 10msec. however the fueling cycle lasts 2 revolutions, so it's 20msec

so you can do it for any other rpm:
8000RPM=125RPS
1/125RPS=0.008sec or 8msec
two revs per cycle= 8msec*2=16msec

OK...........do you have a calc pid expression you can post?

Thanks

RHS,

DO you have a calc pid for this?
