Can someone give me an explanation of how it works? It appears as though values of 0.99 hardly change the selected cells, while 0.1 mows 'em flat. Is it some kind of averaging?

I guess my question is, if I didn't want any of the values (in the ve table) to move more than say, 1.0 + or -, how would I set that up?

 

Yes, I would like to know also and what do you think
of the way it works

 

Select the area of the table you'd like to smooth (needs to be at least 3 X 3), enter a smoothing value between 0 - .99, then hit execute.

.7 is the value I usually use.

 

But what does the number mean? It can smooth it out by changing the values up to 30%? (1-0.7)

 

how does the smooth feature help in tuning? say for instance the ve tables. what will it do to the profile? I think this is what people are asking not just how to use the values. I would like to know myself.

 

When the code is traversing cells of a table it is not good to have values that are radically different. This can cause surging when going in and out of different cells. It is just an easier way to do some "smoothing" of areas that seem to have these types of transitions.
Starting with a smooth table and then roughing in a set of numbers can get daunting when adjusting adjacent cells to the targeted ones. As you keep making individual cell changes you must adjust around it as well. Making "heavy" smoothing values to get the whole base numbers in range, then use "lighter" values as the BLM (or whatever) come closer to optimum will help keep transitional problems at bay.
I don't know the actual calculation factors (if it is even relevant) but it just acts as a filter value to bring the numbers closer together. Experiment with it and find the amounts that look good to you.

 

Think of the number passed into the function as an "inverse weight". Using a large number makes small changes to the table, using a small number makes large changes to the table.

Then deeply consider what JP86SS just stated.

 

Do you have a choice to smooth on
the higher side or lower side, if so
how do you do it. Thanks.

 

Sorry to interupt, but what is this smoothing feature yous guys are refering too? Is it part of Tunerpro RT?? If so, how do I find it/use it. I never knew it was there and can't seen to find anything about it. Thanx all.

 

Double click on a table,select toolbox if not already open, at table editor,check out table functions, I think its fairly new so check for current version.
