mattj Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'd like to be able to use a MAP sensor (showing the vacuum range) for measuring my crankcase pressure. None of the Cal Tables (1-10) will allow you to put a negative number (vacuum) in the configuration. Is there another way to do this? Can I make my own custom parameter like "MGP" and reduce the output of the table values by 14.5psi on each voltage input in the table somehow?

Adamw Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 The G4+ does not have any user math channels and the GP pressure parameters can only be positive pressure. You will have to use absolute pressure units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 No. As I mentioned the GP pressure channels can only display positive values, they are stored as unsigned integers. To convert an absolute sensor to gauge pressure you need to subtract baro and there is no user math channels. In PC Link you will have to work in absolute values, many modern dashes have math channels if you want to display gauge pressure on the dash and most 3rd party log analysis software has math channels if you want to convert to gauge pressure after logging.
