Tuner Pro wont save MAF table values

I have searched, and there seems to at least several cases similar to mine. In Tuner Pro, is there a minimum value in the MAF tables that may be edited? For some reason it wont let me save changes on the order of a few hundreds (0.0X) of a g/sec. It will however save on the order of a few tenths (0.X) of a g/sec. Is this normal? Why would there even be a place for the value in the table if it cannot be edited? If this is normal, what is the resolution? (i.e. what is the finest / smallest adjustment I can save in the tables?)

Any help would be great!

Re: Tuner Pro wont save MAF table values

I have noticed that too in most areas of Tuner pro. Timing, VE tables, MAF values..there seems to be a set value that you can adjust and cant fine tune from there.

Few hundredths is a tiny change. It will round your change to a nearest value or not save the change. I try to make timing around 26.5 deg at one spot and want to smooth it out to the next spot so I go with 27.1 and when i save it may show 26.6 and 27.3 or something like that. It rarely saves the values I spec, but changes to a value thats close.

What you are seeing is normal. It has to do with the resolution of the numbers and conversion. Take a SA value, in the BIN it will be from 0 - 255, as the actual value. With 0 being 0* and 255 being 90* of SA.

If you divide 90 by 256 you get 0.352 (rounded). Which means that a SA value can be changed in 0.352* increments.

Enter 0.5* for SA, and it will end up at .352*, with a BIN value of 1

Enter 0.6* for SA, and it will end up at .703*, with a BIN value of 2

Note that some values are held in two bytes. These values in the BIN go from 0 to 65535.
