    Default Calculated PID Problem

    I'm trying to add a PID to convert cylinder grams to ounces so I can use it like its displayed in the tuning tool. With the following calc_pids.txt file I get errors starting scan related to cylairoz not defined. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here?

    Why not just change the tuner to grams/cylinder? Here's how you change between units:

    Most of us use metric for anything other than speed or temperature (and sometimes displacement). In order for us to help you easier, it might be a good idea to get used to kPa & grams/second instead of inHg and lbs/minute. Just my $0.02...

    You're missing the *UNITS section header.
