Delta Dash by ECUTEK
Ever wanted to know what else the likes of PowerStation use to monitor readings from the engine whilst mapping (and far more besides)? Then read on.....
Delta Dash is an invaluable tool when mapping a car via ECUTEK, as it allows the operator to monitor and log all the readings that the ECU see's. Delta Dash is a piece of software (like ECUTEK) that allows the user to interogate the ECU and log details whilst the engine is running. Not only this, but the sophisticated software enables the user to overlay results making comparison between comparable data sets very easy. When your car is being mapped with ECUTEK the mapper would also use Delta Dash to see what effects these map changes have on the engine (via the various sensors already there) both in realtime and for comparison afterwards. This facility alone is very useful as it enables the mapper to log results for immediate LIVE viewing or comparison at a later time. As this data is read directly from the ECU, it enables the mapper to see in real terms what is happening with the engine from the various sensors that are already installed, which is all vital when determining the best parameters. Of course not only as an aid to mapping, Delta Dash can also help to diagnose faults within the engine or at least give a better indication of the specific area to look at.
Whilst the above is a very simplistic overview of what Delta Dash provides to the professional, Delta Dash also has many facilities that are useful to the enthusiast.
So what is all this functionality and what does it all mean?
