TO ENTER RUN FILE AND VEHICLE INFORMATION
Power Core Dyno Control helps you organize your dyno run files. If you are a new
dyno owner, Power Core will build a file directory structure as you enter new vehicle
information so that your run files stay organized and are easy to find. If you have
upgraded to DynoWare RT and Power Core software, you can point Dyno Control to
your existing run files as long as they are structured by make, model, year, and
customer. You can change the run file directory location in the Application Launcher.
Each time you put a new vehicle on your dyno, you will want to enter the information
for that vehicle into the Run File information dialog.
The Make, Model, year, and Customer fields will auto-populate as you type if there is
already an existing directory. Alternatively the down arrow button can be clicked and
an existing entry can be selected. The run file name will increment on its own.
The optional, title, and notes fields are open fields to enter specific information and
notes about the runs you are making. You will get another chance to edit all these
fields after every run.

Speed balancing applies to 4WD dyno runs. When enabled, if the speeds of
the front and rear drum vary, load will be applied to the faster of the two,
equalizing the speeds. Both drums must be equipped with eddy current
brakes for speed balance to be utilized.
4b Select Turn Off Load Control when run starts.
When enabled, starting sampling will turn the load control off. Use this
feature if you switch between loaded tuning, and inertia only dyno runs
often, to avoid having the load control on during your HP runs.

perfectly since they will always be sampled over the same range. After setting
up the parameters in the Make Run Config dialog, Start/Stop run can be
turned on and off with the Auto Start/Stop button on the Home ribbon.

one, will automatically set the same set point for drum two.
5b Using the drop down menu, select the Source. This is the channel which
load control will be applied.
The max value is the highest set point that will be allowed. For example if
your source is RPM, you can set the maximum RPM of the engine being
tested.

Data Stream allows you to configure how channels/CAN date is transmitted from
the dyno to your computer.
6a Select Advanced Settings.
6b Enter a UDP Port.
UDP is very fast with a low overhead and is set at the default. There is a very
low probability for UDP to drop packets.
If UDP is selected but keeps getting connected with TCP instead, you will
need to add a firewall exception allowing inbound UDP traffic on the port
you select (default port is 7171).
6c Select Force TCP Stream.
TCP is a lossless transport and is the automatic default method if a UDP
connection cannot be established. TCP is more reliable with firewalls, but
you will see more gauge stuttering with a higher transport overhead.

TO CONFIGURE THE RPM SETTINGS

1 From the Home ribbon, click Make Run Config .
2 Click RPM Configuration .
3 Using the drop-down menu, select the RPM Source that matches how you are
acquiring RPM from the vehicle.
4 Using the drop-down menu, select the degrees for the Plug Fires.
For example a four stroke engine that fires the spark plugs only on the power
stroke will use a setting of 720, with an inductive pickup on a secondary wire.
5 To configure the RPM by drum speed:
RPM by drum speed uses a numeric value to represent how many RPM from the
engine are required to achieve each 1mph of drum speed. When RPM is directly
monitored from the engine, the software automatically calculates a RPM/MPH
ratio (Gear Ratio). Each gear will have a different final RPM/MPH ratio as the
gearing changes the overall RPM the engine turns to achieve a given speed.
5a Using the drop-down menu, select Gear Ratio as the RPM source.
5b Ride the bike into the gear which is going to be used for the dyno run.
5c While holding the bike at a steady RPM, enter a Gear Ratio value until the
tach gauge on the screen matched the actual engine RPM in that gear.
The gear ratio is known and fixed for the course of your session or until you
change the gear ratio number.
5d You may also click Calibrate to manually type in a Target RPM.

6 To configure the RPM using Software Defined:

With Software Defined, you no longer need to hook up an inductive pickup to get
load control RPM for the DynoWare RT module. Software Defined can be used for
any device that has an RPM signal to output, including a PCV. Dynojet
recommends using Software Defined for PCVs over using a CAN cable to connect

TO CONFIGURE THE PIDS

PIDʹs are coefficients in the control loop that governs the load control functionality of
Power Core.
The PID values come preset to work well in most cases. If you are having trouble
holding a set point, or with Load tests, the PID values can be adjusted to maximize
performance. Keep in mind that other factors can affect the load control performance.
These include, but are not limited to, the quality of AC power that the dyno is
connected to, the condition of the eddy current brake, and the quality of the engine
RPM signal.

Version 9 Power Core User Guide

 CHAPTER 3

Configuring Dyno Control

The following is a basic overview of the effect of the PID values.

PID value description

P - Proportional Adds more brake with more error. If there is a large difference between the Set Point and the
actual value showing on the gauge, P takes care of that. P is dominant when there is a large
differential between the Set Point and the gauge value, and does almost nothing when the
difference is small.
I - Integral Adds more brake as SMALL error persists. If there is a small difference in the Set Point and the
gauge value, over time Integral will take care of that. Are the Set Point and the gauge value close,
and not getting closer? Add some Integral to make them get close faster. Integral gain will cause
large instabilities if used to correct a large difference.
D - Derivative Need to add more brake, more quickly. If there is a sudden change in the Set Point and the gauge
value, D takes care of that (highly unlikely on a dyno, wheel slip? Turbo spools?). As a secondary
function, derivative gain can (cautiously) be used to preemptively add brake as the set point
approaches. The down side is that the same favorable effect of preemptive braking is reversed if
there is over shoot past the set point, resulting a slow return to the set point.

TO TUNE A PID
Zero out the I and D, and start with a small amount of P. Increase P until there is
oscillation, then decrease P slightly to eliminate oscillation. That is your proportional
gain, and will result in some amount of error at steady state.
Next, start adding I to eliminate the steady state error. When oscillation starts, you’ve
reached the limit of Integral gain. Decrease it slightly to eliminate oscillation. D is only
necessary to eliminate sudden changes which are highly unlikely when spinning a
large mass.
Add a very small amount of D to try and increase preemption if desired, but it can
have very negative effects. Keep in mind the time constant of a spinning drum and
retarder is around 2 seconds. It should be expected that it will take slightly longer
than 2 seconds to reach a comfortable load control set point.
Trying to reach the set point faster than 2-3 seconds will result in poor performance.

TYPICAL PID VALUES

When adjusting values, think in terms of “ten divided by the control variable”. This
means if adjusting for RPM and you’re operating around 5000RPM, you should be
making adjustments that are roughly “10/5000” big or around 0.002 as your smallest
step. Typical RPM control coefficients are in the 0.01 to 0.10 range.
Regardless of Power Core speed units, the dyno operates on feet per second internally.
Adjust by 10/target speed. Speed coefficients are typically in the 1 to 10 range.
Acceleration is feet per second per second.
Torque is in foot pounds.
These are just general range ideas, to get a feel for about how big of adjustments to
make. Changing the P by 1.0 in RPM has a very different effect than changing the P by
1.0 in speed.

NETWORK CONNECTIONS
The Dynojet DynoWare RT dyno electronics connects to your computer directly or
over a Local Area Network. If you have an existing network, connect the DynoWare
RT main module to a router or a network switch on your network. If you donʹt have
an existing network, you can create a network for the DynoWare RT by connecting the
main module to a router.
There are some advantages to connecting the DynoWare RT to a network, particularly
a wireless network. With DynoWare RT on a network, a single dedicated computer for
the dyno is no longer required. Any computer on the network can connect and
operate the dyno. A wireless connection allows you to control the dyno from inside
the vehicle without a cable running to the DynoWare RT main module.
Note: The DynoWare RT allows only one computer at a time to connect.
When the DynoWare RT main module is on a network connected to the internet,
automatic updates for both the DynoWare RT and software are possible.

tuning link parameter description

Live Tuning Max Adjustment The maximum adjustment live tuning mode can make in a single pass.
Minimum AFR Sample Value Set the minimum AFR sample value that will be used for tuning.
Maximum AFR Sample Value Set the maximum AFR sample value that will be used for tuning.
Map Settings for Mode #1 Set the map settings for tuning link mode 1. Mode 1 is low RPM low throttle
position portion of the map. The Air/Fuel value is the target AFR for Mode 1.
Values below Maximum TP will be tuned to Mode 1 target AFR. Values below
Maximum RPM will be tuned to Mode 1 target AFR.
Map Settings for Mode #2 Set the map settings for tuning link mode 2. Mode 2 is mid RPM mid throttle
position portion of the map. The Air/Fuel value is the target AFR for Mode 2.
Values below Maximum TP in Mode 2 and above Maximum TP in Mode 1 will
be tuned to Mode 2 target AFR. Values below Maximum RPM in Mode 2 and
above Maximum RPM in Mode 1 will be tuned to Mode 2 target AFR.
Target AFR for Power Mode Set the target AFR for power mode. Power Mode is the upper RPM and upper
throttle position portion of the map.
AFR Time Offset The amount of time in milliseconds to offset AFR. Set to 0 to disable, or 1 for
no-delay timestamp sync. Use this to account for time from the exhaust port to
the sensor as well as any sampling latency.
Recommended Settings: For in-pipe mounted DynoWare RT AFR units =
300ms; for in-pipe mounted Wideband2/Autotune units = 80ms.
Max Steady State Seconds Per Cell The maximum amount of time Tuning Link can spend in a single cell in Steady
State mode.
Steady State/Auto-Tune Correction The amount of time, in seconds, steady state will spend gathering data in a cell
Time before calculating a correction and sending it to the PCV. For Auto-Tune mode,
this is how frequently the map will be sent.
Minimum Safe RPM If engine RPM goes below this value, Tuning Link will turn load control off to
avoid stalling the vehicle’s engine. If Tuning Link is causing your bike to stall
regularly, raise this value until it is 50-100 RPM below your bike’s idle speed.
Coast Down Duty Cycle % Duty cycle to apply when a roll-on run ends to bring the bike back down to the
target RPM.
Accumulator Target Controls the amount of time the cell tracer needs to spend on target before
tuning the cell or beginning a roll-on run. A lower value is faster. The
recommended value is 100.
Accumulator Floor Controls the amount of time the cell tracer can be off target before ending a
roll-on or restarting a steady state correction. A higher value is faster. This
value must be less than the Accumulator Target value. The recommended
value is 50.
Read-Only Mode Places Tuning Link into Read-Only mode so that a percent error can be
calculated without making any adjustments to the fuel tables.
Edit Roll-On Accel This table is the brake duty cycle during a roll-on run. This table is instant and

TO BEGIN TUNING
1 Verify the Heater 1/Heater 2 is on. Tuning Link automatically enables
required sensor heaters (if any) in all modes except Break-In/Warmup. To disable
the sensor heaters, switch to Break-In/Warmup and toggle the heater button off.
Switching to any other mode will automatically re-enable the sensor heaters.

2 Using the drop-down menu, select a tuning mode .

Steady State Mapping—Click a cell in the column you want to tune. The software
will automatically move to the next RPM cell once it is within the set error
threshold. Use steady state mapping for fine tuning cells in a particular column.
Also good for low throttle positions.
Roll-on Mapping—Click a cell in the column you want to tune. Once this target is
reached, the dyno will allow the bike to roll through the RPM range. It will slow
the drum down to the starting cell automatically. Use roll on mapping as a quick
way to tune the cells in all the columns.
Live Tune Mode—The software will achieve your target AFR no matter where
you are in the table. This is good to use when mapping a vehicle with electronic
throttle. Live Tune Mode takes more time.
3 If you are using Cell Trace, verify Cell Trace is on. From the View ribbon, click the
Cell Trace button .
Cell Trace shows your location in the table in real time. Cell Trace uses significant
processing power and is optional, although it is recommended.
4 Choose which table you wish to view during tuning. In the example below, the
Fuel Adjust Table is used.
Percent Error Tables—the values in this table represent the percent difference
between the target air fuel and the actual air fuel.
5 Click on a cell to begin tuning.
In the example below, we have chosen the cell at 15% throttle and 2500 RPM. The
cell you have chosen will have a black circle until the cell tracer nears the chosen
cell.
6 With the vehicle in gear, increase the throttle until the cell trace is in the starting
cell (the blue plus sign).
When you are close to the starting cell, the circle turns yellow. When the circle
turns green, tuning will begin and the dyno will allow the vehicle to accelerate.

7 Maintain the same throttle position until maximum RPM is reached then close the
throttle.
The dyno will allow the vehicle to decelerate back to the starting point and the
percent error values will update.
To further tune that column increase the throttle until the cell trace is back at the
starting point or choose a new starting point.
If you are viewing the percent error table, cell colors represent how close each cell
is to the target value.
White Cell—cell not read.
Green Cell—cell is tuned and is within your set error percent.
Red Cell—cell is tuned, but the target has not been reached. You may want to tun
that cell/column again.
8 Continue the tuning process until your whole map is filled in.
Note: It may not be possible to fill every cell. For the lower position columns it
may be more efficient to use steady state mapping.

Tuning Link for Power Vision

TUNING LINK FOR POWER VISION

Tuning Link for Power Vision is a feature in Dynojet’s Power Core Software Suite and
is a patented technology that automates various EFI tuning operations. In the initial
implementation, the Tuning Link process (for Power Vision applications) automates
the VE tuning process on Harley-Davidson motorcycles to control fuel delivery at all
operating conditions. The result is an actual, measured wideband o2 AFR or Lambda
value that matches the commanded fueling from tables in the ECU. It ties the operator
together with a Dynojet load control enabled dyno and our tuning devices to gather
data and apply corrections to the calibration (tune) in your ECU. The correction
process is powered by Tune Lab, a powerful and flexible Python based language that
effectively integrates the systems to achieve optimal tuning results. Tuning Link
assists the operator by controlling the tune in the ECU and the data gathering
processing across a wide array of operating conditions. In doing so Tuning Link
ensures sufficient data is acquired that meets various integrity requirements,
develops appropriate corrections, and manages flashing updated calibrations to the
ECU. The operator can monitor real-time cell tracing in the ECU calibration, critical
live data, and has a great degree of flexibility on control strategies and thresholds to
ensure a productive session.
Use this section to start a Tuning Link session using the Power Vision. Tuning Link is
embedded in C3 Tuning Software within Power Core version 3.0.1.34 or newer.
Dynojet recommends connecting your battery to a battery tender to avoid low voltage
conditions.

POWER COMMANDER V SWITCH INPUTS

Map (Input 1 or 2)—The PCV has the ability to hold 2 different base maps. You can
switch on the fl y between these two base maps when you hook up a switch to the
MAP inputs. You can use any open/close type switch. The polarity of the wires is not
important. When using the Autotune kit, one position will hold a base map and the
other position will let you activate the learning mode. When the switch is “CLOSED”
Autotune will be activated.

Shifter (Input 1 or 2)—These inputs are for use with the Dynojet quick shifter. Insert the
wires from the Dynojet quick shifter into the SHIFTER inputs. The polarity of the
wires is not important.

Speed—If your application has a speed sensor then you can tap into the signal side of
the sensor and run a wire into this input. This will allow you to calculate gear position
in the Power Core software. Once gear position is setup you can alter your map based
on gear position and setup gear dependent kill times when using a quick shifter.

Analog—This input is for a 0-5v signal such as engine temp, boost, etc. Once this input
is established you can alter your fuel curve based on this input in the Power Core
software.

Crank—Do NOT connect anything to this port unless instructed to do so by Dynojet. It

is used to transfer crank trigger data from one module to another.

Working With Maps

WORKING WITH MAPS

WHAT IS A MAP?
At the device level, a map is nothing more than a collection of tables. Inside of the
Power Commander V (PCV) is a collection of tables. These tables are used to store
information about relating vehicle parameters to desired modifications in the
behavior of the vehicles fuel injectors or ignition coils. The map is generally the entire
file that would be opened in software and sent to the device to achieve a desired set of
results. In Dynojet’s Power Core Software, a map is a collection of tables that may
belong to different positions. Dynojet devices can traditionally store more than one
map position, allowing you to select which set of tables you wish to use in the field.

Figure 5-74: Map Example

TO SEND OR RECEIVE MAPS AND SETTINGS

Click Send to send any mapping table changes or configuration changes to the

ECU Tuning

ECU TUNING
C3 Tuning software allows you to open your stock and tune files, save and export
tunes, view loaded definitions, and edit the tables.

TO OPEN A STK OR DJT FILE

Dynojet tune files require two additional files to be opened in C3 Tuning: a
corresponding stock (*.stk) file, or modified tune file (*.djt), and a matching definition
(*.dtp) file. The stock file can be found on your Power Vision as delivered, the
definition file will come from Dynojet’s online server. The first time you open a tune,
or stock file, you must be connected to the internet. Subsequent use of either file will
not require internet connection as the file is stored locally.
The Dynojet tune (.djt) and corresponding stock (.stk) file are paired by tune
compatibility. When you open a tune file, and a stock file is not present, C3 Tuning
will prompt you to browse for the stock file.
Stock File (*.stk)—The stock file is the unmodified firmware and calibration as read
out of the ECU. The stock file serves as the base for all tuning as well as a backup
when reverting to factory settings. Make sure you save a backup of the original stock
file before making any tuning changes. If C3 Tuning is open and you connect your
Power Vision to your computer, C3 Tuning software will automatically create a
backup of any files on the Power Vision.
Dynojet Tune File (*.djt)—The Dynojet tune file is the set of changes (the tune) made
on top of a stock file; think of this as a change set.
Definition File (*.dtp)—The definition file is the template file C3 Tuning uses to find
a table within the stock file. The definition file provides unit conversions to translate
from raw ECU binary to readable values and vice versa. The definition file will also
apply patches and tells Power Core how to read channels when a Power Vision is
connected to a vehicle.

TO LOAD A BUILT-IN CORRECTION

C3 Tuning includes Built-In Corrections pre-designed by Dynojet. Use built-in
corrections to make rapid tuning adjustments to the vehicle. Build-in corrections may
also be used as bases for creating your own formulas. Each built-in correction contains
a description along with tune instructions.
1 From the TuneLab ribbon, click Load Built-In Correction .
2 Select a built-in correction from the list.
3 Click Load Selected.
4 To use Fuel Correction via IPW Comp Front/IPW Comp Rear:
A basic fuel correction formula for the front/rear cylinder. AFR adjustments will
be applied to the IPW Comp Front/Rear table.
4a Set your Target AFR table to the values desired.
4b Flash the tune to the vehicle.
4c Make as many logs as possible, ensuring that you hit as much of the table as
possible.
4d Click Load Built-In Correction.
4e Select Fuel Correction-Front Cylinder via IPW Comp Front/Fuel Correction-
Rear Cylinder via IPW Comp Rear from the built-in correction list.
4f Click Load Selected.
4g Click Perform the Correction. Make sure the logs you just created are all
opened and set as inputs. Refer “To Perform Correction” on page 5-131.
4h Verify the adjustments made to the Injector Compensation Factor table make
sense. This tool automates the process, but you still need to validate that
values are within reason.
4i Flash your new tune to the vehicle. Repeat from step 2c until AFR is within
an acceptable tolerance of expected values.
Note: For IPW Comp Front—This expression assumes that the Air/Fuel Ratio 1
(sensor 1) is monitoring the front cylinder. If the sensors are backwards, switch
AFR1() to AFR2() or swap the sensors.
Note: For IPW Comp Rear—This expression assumes that the Air / Fuel Ratio 2
(sensor 2) is monitoring the rear cylinder. If the sensors are backwards, switch
AFR2() to AFR1() or swap the sensors.

5 To use Basic VE Correction:

The Basic VE Correction performs a basic Volumetric Efficiency table correction
using Air/Fuel Ratio 1 and Requested AFR.
The equation roughly translates to: VE = (AFR / Requested AFR) * VE.
The edit form that appears is the factor by which AFR differed from the target
AFR. Review this form and modify/delete cells that appear to be too far out of
range for a reasonable correction.
For reference, a cell at 1.1 would ADD 10% fuel to the VE table, a cell at 0.80
would remove 20% from a cell. Values above 1.0 indicate monitored AFR was
leaner than targeted AFR, vice versa for negative changes.

6 To use Fuel Correction—Volumetric Efficiency AFR1/AFR2:

This built-in formula corrects the Volumetric Efficiency table using AFR sensor
data from AFR Sensor 1/AFR Sensor 2. The correction is filtered to use only AFRs
between 10 and 19.
Note: This correction works best if the log does not contain any samples where
decel fuel cut was active.

WinPEP 8 Dyno Control: WinPEP 8 Dyno Control is

part of the Power Core software suite. Connects
Power Core to DynoWare RT; shows data live on
gauges, starts/stops sampling, and sets up other
functions such as load control and other dyno
specific functions.

X
X Axis: A horizontal line displaying x values.

Y
Y Axis: One of six possible vertical edges of the
graph holding channel data relating to the x axis.
In order to display data on the two dimensional
graph, an x point and a corresponding y point
are needed. Gaps in the data lines, or lack of
lines, are caused by lack of data.

Z
Zoom Mode: Changes the magnification level in the
graph display.
