Creating Custom Worksheets
04.02
| 00:00 | The package specific work sheets are probably going to be sufficient for 95% of users, but you do have the option within Tune to create your own completely customised workbooks and worksheets. |
| 00:13 | This is a better solution usually than making drastic changes to the supplied worksheets. |
| 00:20 | We can start by selecting our custom Workbook and you can see we start with a single worksheet aptly labelled ‘Worksheet’. |
| 00:29 | If we need to add more, thats as easy as right clicking in the tab area at the top of the screen and selecting ‘New Worksheet’. |
| 00:38 | Alternatively we can do the same job by going to the Layout Editor and clicking ‘Add Worksheet’. |
| 00:45 | In Layout Editor we can also add another user ‘Workbook’ if you want to separate your custom worksheets. |
| 00:53 | The next job we are going to want to do is to give the worksheet a sensible name so we can easily navigate around. |
| 01:01 | If we right click on the tab of the worksheet we want to rename, we can select ‘Rename Worksheet’ and name it appropriately. |
| 01:10 | In this case we are going to call it ‘Fuel Tuning’. |
| 01:14 | Now we can add some components to let us do this particular tuning job. |
| 01:20 | If we click on the ‘Add’ drop down menu, a list of the possible components will be displayed. |
| 01:27 | The component you choose will depend on what you want to achieve. |
| 01:32 | In this case we are going to add a ‘Calibrate’ Component by clicking on calibrate. |
| 01:38 | A box will open that we can now use to configure what we want the component to calibrate. |
| 01:44 | We want to calibrate the engine efficiency table, so we can click ‘Add’, and select this from the search box. |
| 01:52 | If we now click ‘Display’, we can control how the component will be displayed. |
| 01:58 | Let’s change the caption text to something a little more meaningful like ‘Engine Efficiency’. |
| 02:04 | Next we want to display both the grid and the graph and we can do this here. |
| 02:11 | If you display the grid and graph we have the option to display them alone above the other, or side by side. |
| 02:19 | We are going to choose one above the other. |
| 02:22 | Pressing ‘Ok’ will now display the component. We can drag the component around and resize it easily using the mouse. |
| 02:32 | Next we are going to go through the same process to display the ‘Fuel Mixture Aim’ table. |
| 02:38 | The process is the same although this time we are going to display just the grid of numbers. |
| 02:44 | To help us with our tuning, we are going to add a numeric display for our exhaust lambda. |
| 02:49 | We can do this by selecting ‘Add’ then ‘Gauge’ and then ‘Numeric’. |
| 02:55 | We could just have easily selected a dial gauge though. |
| 02:59 | To go along with this numeric gauge, we are also going to add a bar graph to show us what the closed loop fuel trim is doing. |
| 03:07 | Lastly we are going to set up a time graph to monitor some key parameters while we are tuning. |
| 03:14 | We can do this by clicking ‘Add’ and then ‘Time Graph’. |
| 03:18 | Now its just a case of adding some groups and parameters we are interested in. |
| 03:23 | In this case we are going to add three groups and display engine speed, coolant temp, inlet manifold temperature, exhaust lambda and fuel mixture aim. |
| 03:36 | Obviously you can do just about anything you want and I encourage you to spend some time with these custom worksheets setting them up how you like. |
