Designed and built by Augment Automotive in 2012 Augment Automotive 3D Tuner is our approach to a user friendly and effective tuning and data logging product. One of the key design parameters was to help users visualise what the DME is doing with respect to engine operation and gain insight on how to adjust the parameters to achieve the desired outcome.
To this extent the map data is presented in 3D with freedom to view the maps from different angles to gain maximum insight into the engines requirements. An indication is given of the current operating point on each map or calibration table to to aid with live tuning. All manipulation of grid values, including mapping sites, is done within the 3D environment. AugTronic features the following user adjustable maps:
- Fuel Map
- Ignition Map
- Fuel Air Temperature Compensation
- Fuel Coolant Temperature Compensation
- Cranking Enrichment
- Transient Enrichment
- Transient Enrichment Duration
- Ignition Air Temperature Compensation
- Ignition Coolant Temperature Compensation
- Air Temperature Sensor Calibration
- Coolant Temperature Sensor Calibration
- Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Calibration
- Battery Voltage Calibration
- Injector Dead Time Calibration
- Turbo Boost Pressure Target
- Turbo Boost Pressure Limit
All measured and calculated engine parameters are displayed in a customisable gauge system that allows the user to select and position gauges for the desired parameters as well as setting alarm thresholds.
These parameters can also be viewed in a graphing mode which allows easy monitoring of the engine during transients and steady state conditions. Graphs can be viewed live and paused and rewound. A CSV log file is also written to disk. The following parameters are available:
- Battery Voltage
- Air Temperature
- Throttle Position
- Manifold Pressure
- Coolant Temperature
- Air Fuel Ratio
- External ADC
- External Thermocouple
- Engine Speed
