Not to sound stupid, but I have been buring chips for a little while & I still don't know what hyteresis means in english. Quasi, asynch, and the non webster dictionary words. It would just be easier if there was a book to read to brush up on all the lingo. If anyone knows of a good book & where to buy it, I would be in your debt. I just figured out what FWIW means. Thanks.

 

Not sure of a good book for this, but it may be valuable to define there here for everyone's benefit:

Asynch - short for asynchronous - this means that one event (the firing of a fuel injector) can happen at the same time as and independent of another similar event (the firing of a different fuel injector). Synchronous means one event happens after the other.

Quasi - general means "resembling" or similar to. I haven't seen this used in any car/DIY-PROM context, but I'm not the most experienced.

Hysteresis - in the context in which you'd see it here, it generally means the minimum or maximum difference necessary between two values before something happens (or doesn't happen). In English: Lets say your cooling fan on temp is 225 degrees and you see another value, "cooling fan off hysterisis", to be 5 degrees. What this means is that the fan will turn on when the temp reaches 225, and will turn off when the temp reaches 220. There are other contexts in which you may see this term, but this is the general definition.

 

Thanks Magnus. I never messed with those items for fear of a melt down. Now I can. Hysteresis is nice to have. (in english)!Thanks again & anymore misunderstood terms explained would be a big help.
