    Default Calc PID is driving me to drink

    I'm trying to make a calculated PID for idle rpm error. I've tried entering it every way I can think and the darn thing won't appear in my PIDs list. It won't even show up as an invalid PID. Here's what I have so far:

    ================================================== ============================
    # Add slot definitions here
    # --------------------------------
    # See sae_generic.txt for more information on "SLOT" formats
    #
    #Units Low High Fmt Expression
    #------------ ------------- ------------- ---- --------------------------------------------------------------






    *CLC-00-004


    RPM -200 200 0.0 "{SAE.RPM]-{GM.IDLRPM}"










    # ================================================== ============================
    *PRN - Parameter Reference Numbers
    # --------------------------------
    # See sae_generic.txt for more information on the *PRN section
    #
    #Code PRN SLOT Units System Description
    #------------------------- ---- ------------ ---------------- ---------------- ------------------------------------------




    CALC.RPM_ERR F110 CLC-00-004 RPM Conditions "Idle err"



    Any ideas?

    Hi Hib,

    You have a square-bracket here instead of a curly-brace...

    *CLC-00-004


    RPM -200 200 0.0 "{SAE.RPM]-{GM.IDLRPM}"

    ( also make sure you have at least 2 blank lines at the end of the file )

    Pretty dumb, huh.
    LOL
    Guess I need a stronger pair of computer glasses...or maybe, being frustrated I started drinking and it went downhill from there.
    (sigh)

    Didn't think of that either.

    Thanks, Joe!

    Guess I better go buy another six-pac. Even after I corrected that one character and added boocoo lines to the end of the file, that one calculated PID still won't appear.

    Ah, the other problem is that the units RPM should be rpm (lowercase)



    *CLC-00-004
    RPM -200 200 0.0 "{SAE.RPM]-{GM.IDLRPM}"

    CALC.RPM_ERR F110 CLC-00-004 RPM Conditions "Idle err"
    See attached.

    It's never too early for beer



    Try the attached calc_pids.txt (in post #7)

    on PIDs tab, click on the column heading Parameter to sort on this column;
    then (looking down the Parameter column) find and select the pids SAE.RPM, GM.IDLERPM, CALC.RPM_ERR...
    the pid CALC.RPM_ERR should not have a red X thru it.

    Now it appears in the list, but it's has the non-supported "x" over it. Now what?

    I know..more beer.
