Chapter 14: Inputs- Using
Sensor Configuration
This allows the application of a sensor calibration to the input voltages that DYNertia3 is reading.
The inputs can be read as plain voltages (0- 5000 mV) if you wish, but generally an input voltage is
easier to read if meaningful units are applied e.g. The input from an air/fuel ratio meter should be
shown in Lambda units rather than just millivolts (mV).
Note: All sensor configuration in DYNertia3 involves the software relating an input voltage in mV (1
millivolt = 1000
th
of a volt or 0.001V) to an output of some unit!
Note: DYnertia3 internally reads mV from 0-5000 (0-5V), If you select an input voltage switch setting of 0-15V you are
dividing the input by 3 before it is measured. The ‘raw’ values will be still in the 0-5000 range e.g. 9V input would be
3000mV raw.
Configuring an input channel using pre-settings
There are already a large amount of pre-set configurations in the list, not just DTec sensors, but common automotive
ones including pre-sets for simple voltage range configurations e.g. 0-15V or 0-5V.
Enter a meaningful name in the “Channel Name” field.
Select the sensor from the drop-down ‘▼’ list next to “Selected Sensor”, that’s it, all done!
To optionally view the calibrations graphically press this button. This allows you to confirm your settings
quickly. Clicking on the visible graph will show the values at the cursor.
Although there are many pre-set calibrations provided, it is also easy to create your own (see next page)!
