Tuning Experience Levels?
 

I've heard about a drop-down tab on Minotaur that can adjust your "difficulty" if you will.

How many options are there? And could anyone conjure me up a few screenshots to show the difference?

Yes.

There is a drop-down list that includes "basic", "advanced", "expert", and "genius".

Basically ( :hehe: ), the "basic" level lists all of the basic tuning parameters, maps, and functions that a beginner would need. The list is pretty short because it doesn't include all of the undefined or more advanced level listings.

"Advanced" and "Expert" are fairly similar. Here is where you can get a bit more of the in-depth listings.


"Genius" includes everything that has been addressed in the tuning.

Cool. Sorry to be a pain, but what would I be looking at, say, in the "basic" setting if I wanted to adjust ICP, PW, or SOI?

And how difficult is trans tuning? I'm getting much closer to buying Minotaur, and I need to start researching big time.

Hold on a sec and I'll get that up for you.

I took another angle on your last question, what you can adjust in each individual parameter, map, function does not change with the experience level. The only thing that changes is the total number of different parameters, maps, functions that you can change.

Thomas is right.....
Just because you are in the "basic" mode DOES NOT give you "basic" values in any selected map. For example, if you look at the pulse width multiplier map in "basic", it will be the same exact map as you will get in the "genius" mode.

Good call, Thomas.

After you press "Fuel Injection Pulsewidth", what do you see? Sorry... :cheesy smile:

:doh:

Either a table, 2D graph, or 3D graph. Any of them can be made full-screen.

As far as the axis go.....

The table view Y axis is injection control pressure in MPa (MegaPascals), the x axis is Mass fuel desired, and the values in the table are the commanded pulse width.

I would like to add that the program lets you overlay different files so you can easily compare them. This is very helpful when you are trying to learn the differences between files, and what make them produce more power, shift harder, etc.

There also is a feature that automatically find differences in maps, parameters, and functions and highlights them for you, this is also nice when learning how certain files work and what changes were made to do so.

When you purchase the Minotaur and definition files you will also receive a whole slew of programs for your truck that you can use to compare.
