PID creation Non-Linear

Ok, i am so lost here...

I have an AEM wideband twin channel, i followed the non-linear instructins, and its still not working right...I had a very accurate equation, but the AFR wouldnt pass 9A/F although i was actually at 15A/F

Here is a copy of my PID CALC

Please help...I need to get the widebands to work so i may finish off my tuning...

Thank you all for you time

Manaf

So your equation is: AFR = 0.0129*V^2 - 0.0362*V + 9.5366

This gives:
V=0 --> AFR=9.5366
V=5 --> AFR=9.6781

Your equation is incorrect... :bawl:

This is the equation that Excel gave me...

i have even a 3 order polynominal and 4 order...

What other means do i have to get the proper equation

Naf,

Welcome to the forum... :cheers:

What are your sample data points...?
What are your 3rd/4th order polynomials...?

Cheers
Joe

You'd probally be better setting it up as a piecewise

yea, just give us the data and we'll give you an equation, i've done this for the zeitronix's wb nonlinear output over 2yrs ago, it's not hard

Thanx so much

The points are as follows

Volts AFR Gas 0-5V
0.000 8.41
0.156 8.52
0.312 8.64
0.468 8.81
0.624 8.98
0.780 9.09
0.936 9.26
1.092 9.44
1.248 9.61
1.404 9.78
1.560 9.95
1.716 10.12
1.872 10.29
2.028 10.47
2.184 10.69
2.340 10.92
2.496 11.15
2.652 11.38
2.808 11.67
2.964 11.95
3.120 12.24
3.276 12.58
3.432 12.92
3.588 13.27
3.744 13.67
3.900 14.13
4.056 14.64
4.212 15.21
4.368 15.84
4.524 16.53

Or you can set up a lookup function in a calculated PID.

lookup()

Syntax:

• lookup(x,a1,a2,b1,b2,…,c1,c2)

Arguments:

• x: a numeric expression
• a1,a2,b1,b2,...,c1,c2 is a list of pairs of values.

Return value:

• The value of the second value of the pair whose first value is less than or equal to x. The list of value pairs must be sorted on the first value of each pair.

So in your case:

Code:

---

Lookup({EXT.AD1},0.000,8.41,0.156,8.520.312,8.64,0.468,8.81,0.624,8.98,0.780,9.09,0.936,9.26,1.092,9.44,1.248,9.61,1.404,9.78,1.560,9.95,1.716,10.12,1.872,10.29,2.028,10.47,2.184,10.69,2.340,10.92,2.496,11.15,2.652,11.38,2.808,11.67,2.964,11.95,3.120,12.24,3.276,12.58,3.432,12.92,3.588,13.27,3.744,13.67,3.900,14.13,4.056,14.64,4.212,15.21,4.368,15.84,4.524,16.53,4.680,17.27,4.836,18.19,4.992,19.44)

EFILive will interpolate between data points.

y = 0.1153x^3 - 0.4494x^2 + 1.5386x + 8.2255 seems to work with R^2=0.9986 so it's very close for the data given

I got the y= part, but where does the R^2=0.9986 come in?

i think it's called the Pearson Coefficient, basically the closer to 1 the better.

AHA!!!

I will plug it in and give it a try, thanx...

its a regression fit.. closer to 1 the better the fit.

if i may ask, how did u come to find this equation?

I found ways to find the table from an equation, but not find the equation from the table?

:Eyecrazy:

do a x-y scatter plot it in excel
right click on any of the data points
insert trendline
pick polynomial, 3rd degree
then in options you should have 'show equation' and 'show R^2'
v'oile!

AHHHH

I used the wrong type of graph...i used Line graph....

So i could increase the orders and get a closer to perfect line right? What is the order limit for a PID CALC?

there's some calculus theorem that says that with high enough order polynomials you can approximate any curve.

there's no order on pid calc, that's just math, you can string as many terms as you want (Blacky, is there a string/parsing limit on calc'ed pids?)

excel will only do 6rd degree poly. but you can put it in any better software like matlab or statistica and you can do whatever you want. however, remember that the calculations involved are gonna get computationally expensive. what you have here, 3rd order with a R^2=0.99... is very good already, just stick to that.
i highly recommend that you change the poly fit order tho, and see how R^2 changes. you will understand how quickly you can converge on a good solution, and how little you'll gain if you try to go higher.

Limits of calculated PIDs

• Length of expression: 65535 characters.
• Number of args per function: 255 (mostly this limit is only relevant for the lookup() function).
• Max token length: 64 characters.

Everything else is limited only by available memory and CPU speed.

Note: Nested calculated PIDs MUST have a lower PRN than the PID being defined. For performance reasons, calc PIDs are evaluated only ONCE per frame by EFILive, from lowest to highest PRN number. It is essential that you make sure the nested calc PIDs' values are evaluated PRIOR to the PID being defined.

Paul

The closer R^2 is to 1 is a measure of how well the polynomial/equation fits the data.

You can express your polynomial in shorter form like this:

"((((0.0298)*{EXT.AD1}-0.1826)*{EXT.AD1}+0.4971)*{EXT.AD1}+0.5253)*{EXT.AD1}+8.4433"
