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...

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.

Here is one of my favorite feature in action.

This shows the difference between single shot PW and split shots.

I LIKE that!

Is there a way to "Blanket" increments? For example, through the RPM, you're adjusting PW, and you want to go up .5ms all the way through, just to see what it does. Can you do that to the whole line? And then come back and undo it?

What does "Minotaur" consist of COMPLETELY? 1 chip, Minotaur software, burner, 1 family of definition files.

What are the "family" of definition files like? Like a "rough draft" of an econo tune, a "race" tune, etc?

I edited this post since whatever arrangement of letters you had in the word "software" tripped the language filter. -Cody

Well, the PW isn't factored by RPM. You CAN raise the values as much or as little as you want (although just changing arbitrary things can make bad things happen) and then change them back if you don't like it. You can select an entire range as big or small (one point or the whole thing) and go up or down.

I wish I knew how to make a screenshot video....

It comes with the Minotaur program, the user license, a burner, a chip, a definition file (that's what gives you the actual nomenclature in the tables and sets up the proper addressing of the binary) and a few calibration files to get you started. For the most part, I think Bill just copies and pastes about half a dozen calibrations from his computer for that definition file and emails them to you.....and these are ACTUAL tunes that he sells. You get the real deal.
