    Default editing a pid calc

    Ok,,
    I've just worked out a new error corrected slope and intercept for my wide band analog voltage output (LM1) new slope 1.994012
    new intercept 9.943186

    so how do I edit the PLX calc formular to correct this ?

    You should create a new PID in \My Documents\EFILive\V7\User configuration\calc_pids.txt, see attached calc_pids.txt file.
    You can also set up your own system name (in this case O2-Wide-JV) so that your PIDs show up in their own section - making them easier to find.

    Thanks Blacky,

    PLX o volts = 10 afr
    5 volts = 20 afr

    I worked the slope and intercept out for this, am I correct in noteing that your calc is based on 0 = 10
    5 = 30

    so I just change the 30 to 20 in the calc ?

    Cheers
    John

    In the calc_pids.txt, the 10 and 30 are the "Low" and "High" values used to set the low and high values on a chart y-axis or the low and high tickmarks on a gauge; they are for chart/gauge display only and do not affect the calculation as defined under the "Expression" column.

    OK thanks for clearing that up

    You should probably change the 30 to 20 since the chart will never display above 20.
