Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: '''!MonitorEngine''' This !UseCase describes the Driver monitoring the engine state while driving. ---- The !UseCase starts when the Driver connects the computer, starts the software, and enables the ignition. The software displays engine runtim information in realtime, in a familiar and visually appealing manner. This will be as gauges or illuminated icons as most appropriate, and as most often used on existing car dashboards. The following information is displayed: * Engine speed in revolutions per minute * Coolant temperature in celsius * Battery voltage in volts * Ignition advance in degrees * Lambda in lambda units * Exhaust gas temperature in celsius * Manifold air pressure in bar * Manifold air temperature in celsius * Throttle position in percent * Injector duty cycle in milliseconds (or percent?) * Total enrichment in percent * Knock as a lamp * Wideband lambda activation as a lamp * Nitrous solendoid activation as a lamp * Coolant fan activation as a lamp * Water pump activation as a lamp * RPM limiting as a lamp * Oil temperature * Oil pressure * Transmission temperature ''Anything else wanted or needed?'' The software presents the default selection of gauges by reading configuration data from a gauges.xml file, in a custom XML format. The Driver may display the gauges in full screen mode if desired, by selecting Display->Fullscreen. In the event of out-of-range or dangerous readings (high EGT or low oil pressure for exammple), an audible alert is generated. If the affected display is a gauge, it will display an error lamp on the face. After the run, when RPM has dropped to zero, or idles for several minutes, the software suggests making a diagnostic and runtime log for analysis. The display is updated continuously until the Driver ends the session or chooses another function within the software. ---- Back to MembersPage/RichardBarrington/QTune/UseCases Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
