See how its now represented as lines, on a graph? Almost like a spreadsheet? Still not much of any interest is there?

Lets look at another part instead:


See anything there then? Well, i can actually, but i dont expect you to.
Lets look at the same part of ther file in 2d graphing mode.



Ahhh... now were getting somewhere

So weve found a map, what needs to be done now?
Well, first we need to ascertain exactly what that map does There are various ways of doing this that i wont bore you with, suffice to say we have discovered it is indeed a fuel table.

Once we have a few more parameters deciphered such as rpm and load values, we can have the software converted to show us a more usefull display, as follows:



Now were getting somewhere... that looks almost useable!!

repeat all the above and ultimately we will find and catalogue all the other maps like this one for spark advance:



We can even view them in 3d if we wish:



Ultimately, we aim to end up with a nice list, like this one:


Once we have all this data catalogued, we can start to look at mapping our never before mapped model:

**this only has to be done once per ecu dataset type**
