VISION5
Display and calibration tool
Description
VISION4 provides a flexible control interface for
electronic devices based on the Magneti Marelli
Competition communication protocol.
After opening the configuration file, Vision allows
the access to a set of channels resulting from real
time ECUs calculations.
Different kind of windows can be included in the
screen layout in order to support both read and
write operations. The display screen may be
customized, adapted to the context and saved:
VISION5 includes DSETUP, a tool for the
management of the configuration files.
The ECU calibration can be performed by editing
the maps saved in .PTA files. If a potentiometer
desk is connected to PC it is possible to start the
automatic mapping procedure.
