Sensor Scaling

Overview

User Scalars are used to convert internal raw values into a meaningful physical unit, with the option of further changing the units to something more familiar / convenient - see Units.

Adjustable scalars make it possible to make full use of the ECU’s internal resolution and range.

Subsections of Sensor Scaling

Fuel Pressure Scalar

Overview

The fuel pressure scalar is used to convert the raw fuel pressure values into more meaningful physical units.

By default, the fuel pressure scalar is calibrated to units of Bar, but this can be changed to other units of pressure - see Units.

Fuel Pressure Scalar Options

Option Description
option iconFuel Pressure Scalar Multiplier, m as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.
option iconFuel Pressure Offset Offset c as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.

Load Scalar

Overview

The load scalar is used to convert the raw ’load’ values into more meaningful physical units.

Typically, Load values are pressure readings calibrated to units of kPa, but this can be changed to other units of pressure (or other quantities) - see Units.

Note that changing the load scalar will affect the meaning of any related calibration values and measurements collectively, which may require recalibration of the ECU.

For example, if using MAP as Load and the MAP sensor is changed to one with a different range, then all load related items may require recalibration if the scaling of raw MAP readings no longer leads to equivalent physical pressure values.

Note

The Load scalar uses the same multiplier and offset as the MAF (Load) Scalar.

Load Scalar Options

Option Description
option iconLoad Scalar Multiplier, m as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.
option iconLoad Offset Offset c as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.

MAF (Load) Scalar

Overview

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) scalar is used to convert raw flow measurement values into more meaningful physical units.

By default, the MAF scalar is calibrated to g/s, but this can be changed to other units of mass flow.

Note

The MAF (Load) scalar uses the same multiplier and offset as the Load Scalar.

MAF (Load) Scalar Options

Option Description
option iconLoad Scalar Multiplier, m as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.
option iconLoad Offset Offset c as in the linear scaling equation, y = mx + c.

MAF Scalar

Overview

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) scalar is used to convert raw flow measurement values into more meaningful physical units.

By default, the MAF scalar is calibrated to g/s, but this can be changed to other units of mass flow.

Option Description
