Performance and Economy Fields




Performance and Economy fields are simply turned on for you to start monitoring the Power and Fuel economy of your vehicle. All you need is either a speed channel from your ECU or a GPS attached for BigComm Pro to capture speed from. When using a GPS and 10Hz GPS is highly recommended.

In this section I will be going over how to fill in the required information for using the performance and economy fields.

Performance Fields :

 The performance fields allow you to make calculated estimation of several different types of data like Aerodynamic Drag, net HorsePower ,
net Torque, and Rolling Drag .


Economy Fields :

The economy fields allow you to make calculated estimations of several different types as well. Your distance traveled in your fuel
consumption “MPG” “MPL” “KPL” , the rate at which you are pumping the fuel into the engine “CC per min” “gallons an hour” “lbs per hour” ,
 and instant measure of distance vs. fuel consumption, this is similar to the first calculation I talked about in the economy section but with
 a slight difference the first calculation is the distance traveled and fuel consumed over a long distance or extended sample range, where
the instant will give you the calculated fuel you are using that very second as you mash the accelerator down.

Entering Vehicle Specifications :



To use these features you will need to fill in the information in the Vehicle Specifications dialog .
This dialog can be fond under the “Data Logging” drop down menu, then click on the performance and economy fields option.





                                 1. Speed Units – Miles Per Hour or Kilometers Per Hour

                                 2. Fuel Consumption – US Gallons, Imperial Gallons, Liters


 
                                  1. GPS speed –
will use a external GPS source to capture your speed .
