Link G4 Plus Software Tutorial: Runtime Values
Runtime Values
01.46
00:00 | - While we're talking about shortcuts, I want to spend a little time talking about the run time values window, as you'll be making use of this regularly. |
00:08 | Pressing either R or F12 will open up the run time values window which is valuable for fault finding, diagnostics and testing. |
00:17 | You can see when we open the window that there are various tabs across the top. |
00:21 | We can navigate between these tabs by either left clicking on a tab or using the square bracket keys to move between them. |
00:30 | These tabs will open a specific set of run time values to show us exactly what is going on while the engine is running. |
00:36 | For example here in the fuel tab, we can see just about every parameter relevant to the fuel delivery. |
00:42 | One way you could use this tab is to check what fuel trims are active at a particular time or to see what the fuel trims are doing during a cold start. |
00:51 | When we are setting up an ECU on an engine, the triggers and limits tab is one of the most valuable sources of information we have. |
00:58 | In the left panel, we have trigger data which shows us the current RPM and rate of RPM change. |
01:04 | Next we have limit data which shows us where the RPM and MAP limits are set. |
01:10 | In the trigger status panel we can see the status of the two trigger inputs. |
01:14 | These will be green if the ECU is receiving a reliable signal. |
01:18 | Below this is the trig one error counter, this will tell us if the ECU is seeing triggering errors. |
01:24 | In this last panel we can see the status of all the limits in the ECU. |
01:28 | This tab is one of the first places to check if you're having problems with erratic running or misfires. |
01:35 | When we are done with the run time values window we can close it by pressing the esc key. |
