Area Area  - this option fills in the area beneath the lines in a Plot with a solid color; for twodimensional tables, separate areas are drawn for each of the rows in the table and the areas drawn superimposed on top of each other, so that areas for rows later in the table cover the areas for rows earlier in the table. Bar Graph Graph - for two-dimensional tables, at each axis value, separate bars are drawn next to each other for each of the rows in the table. Stacking Bar - these are the same as Bar Graphs for one dimensional tables; for twodimensional tables, at each axis value, separate bars are drawn for each of the rows in the table and plotted cumulatively (stacked one above the other if the bars are vertical). Pie Chart - a separate pie chart is drawn for each column in the table.

The picture above shows the Sample Dataset (see Using the Pi Metafile Compiler to create a sample Dataset) after Dataset) after you have expanded it one level, and shows that the Sample Dataset has three groups within it - other Datasets will have different structures. These groups are represented by folder icons, showing that they contain other items, which may be subgroups or parameters:

Notice that the icon representing parameters in the Navigator shows the parameter type. For example, Parameter A1 in A1 in the picture above is a 1-dimensional table, Parameter A2 is A2 is a 2-dimensional table and Parameter C1 is C1 is a scalar.

Periodic Per iodic and state Watching You can watch one, two and three-dimensional table parameters as well as scalar parameters. However, for  efficiency, table parameters are not watched in quite the same way as scalar parameters: ·

·

For scalar variables, AutoCal polls the ECU periodically (at a rate that you can set) and updates the value of the Channelset parameter in AutoCal - this is called  pe  perio riodic dic watchin watching g since the Channelset parameter is updated periodically irrespective of whether it has actually changed. For table variables, AutoCal waits until it receives a message from the Communications Service saying that the table has changed in the ECU, and then updates the value of the Channelset parameter in AutoCal - this is called stat state e watching  watching  since   since the Channelset parameter is only updated if  the state of the table in the ECU changes.

User-defined groups In addition to the groups defined in the Metafile, the Navigator shows five user-defined groups. You can use these to group together sets of parameters that you want to get to quickly without having to navigate the hierarchy defined in the Metafile. Note: The user-defined groups are provided for convenience when you are using AutoCal. Placing a parameter in a group gives you another way of accessing that parameter - the parameters in userdefined groups are just shortcuts or references to the original parameters not a new copy that you can change independently. Adding and using parameters in user-defined groups has no effect on the way data is downloaded to an ECU. To add a parameter to a user-defined group: 1.

Using the Pi Metafile Compiler to create a sample Dataset This topic shows you how to create a sample Dataset using the Pi Metafile Compiler. Many of the instructions in this Help system use this sample Dataset to illustrate AutoCalʼs functionality. Note: The Pi Metafile Compiler is a separate program supplied with Pi ToolBench. The sample Dataset is in the form of a script Metafile with an .smf extension. Before you can open the sample Dataset in AutoCal, you need to compile the script Metafile to create a binary Metafile file, which will be saved with a .met extension.

Working with wi th Datasets Datasets Using the Pi Metafile Compiler to create a sample Dataset  showed Dataset  showed you how to create a binary metafile Dataset (.met) file from a script metafile (.smf) file. The metafile contains definitions of the data structures and default parameter values. Typically, the software developers will only create a new metafile when they produce a new version of the ECU software. You can think of the metafile as a template for producing Datasets for the corresponding version of the ECU software; each of these Datasets contains the specific parameter values for an individual ECU. You can use AutoCal to create Datasets from a binary metafile, then edit the default parameter values in the Dataset for use with a specific ECU and save the Dataset as a Dataset (.dat) file. You can also load Datasets into AutoCal to view and edit the calibration parameters they contain. Next topic Opening a Dataset Previous topic The AutoCal interface

 Applying  Appl ying const constraints raints to parameters in a Dataset You can define maximum and minimum values for parameters in a Dataset in its Metafile. However, you can also define and impose much more complex and powerful constraints. For example, you could require that the values in a table are strictly increasing as you go down the table. To define the constraint, you include Visual Basic code in the metafile - this gives you the freedom to define virtually any constraints you like. You can then impose the constraints on the Dataset in AutoCal. You can choose to check that all the constraints in a Dataset are satisfied, or just those that affect a specific parameter. You can also choose to make AutoCal automatically check that any changes you make to parameters satisfy any constraints. Note: The definition of constraints is beyond the scope of this manual. The constraints feature is provided to allow users to access their own code within the Metafile. Responsibility for the correctness and use of this code remains entirely with the user, so Pi Technology cannot provide any support for the use of the constraint c onstraint functi functions ons in AutoCa AutoCal. l. To choose whether AutoCal should automatically maintain any constraints defined for a Dataset: 1.

When Auto Constrain is Constrain is in force, if you try to change a parameter in a way that violates a constraint, a dialog box will be displayed warning you and the parameter value will be left unchanged - there is a check box in the dialog box allowing you to turn further warnings off. Note: When you switch Auto Constrain on, Constrain on, AutoCa A utoCall does not  check  check that all constraints are currently satisfied. If, while Auto Constrain is Constrain is on, you try to edit a value that violates a constraint, AutoCal will let you change it to a value that satisfies constraints, but if(constraint you try to violating) change itvalue to another value that also violates a constraint, AutoCal willallleave the original unchanged. You can check whether the Dataset or an individual parameter satisfies the constraints. (You may want to do this if Auto Constrain is Constrain is not selected, or if it is selected but you think some parameters violated constraints before it was selected.)

Press the Compare by Tag button to compare parameters in different  Datasets  Datasets according to their  tagnames. or: or: Press the Compare by Order button to compare the parameters in the Datasets or groups according to their order in the Dataset display trees. For example, if you are comparing group A in the left-hand pane with group B in the right-hand pane, the first parameter in group A will be compared with the first parameter in group B, without any reference to their tagnames. Note 1: Since tagnames are unique within a Dataset, the Compare by Tag button is disabled unless you are comparing parameters from different Datasets. Note 2: When you make a comparison by tag AutoCal attempts to pair each of the parameters in the group or Dataset dropped into the left-hand pane with a parameter in the Dataset dropped in the right-hand pane or, if you dropped a parameter or group into the right-hand pane, the Dataset containing the group or parameter. To choose what features to compare, either: Press the Compare Values button to compare the values of the parameters. or:

Press the Compare Structure button to compare the structures of the parameters - the column headings in the comparison panes shows the structural features compared. See Viewing the results of a comparison  for examples.
