Default Hondata S300 increased resolution?

So for values where there is a temperature range, such as in fuel or ignition compensation...

Is it necessary to have the -40 and -24 degrees Fahrenheit as the the extreme on one side when ECT & IAT will never see that low? Could I start the scale with 0 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving me with more values to base off of in it's range? Or is it necessary to have such an extreme? Basically looking at fine tuning and more resolution.

Yes of course. In conditions where the sensor value go off the table, the Ecu reads the most extreme cell. The same goes for every table. Set the scale to whatever range makes sense and enjoy the resolution.

I mean it's technically not needed for things like that because it tapers from the point, to the value of the next point. I just figured it would make it easier to quickly get a steady AFR when re-tuning for different things.

Hah, I've been thinking about doing the exact thing with mine, because I live in the same state and will never see <30*F, or >140*F or so. The base offsets in my NepTune cals have two columns for 0* and go to 250* actually, so there is a ton of resolution to be made up.

I've got some weird fluctuation that I haven't been able to nail down, I'm thinking this might help a bit. Just need some time to play with it. Too bad I've probably missed all the really cold mornings for the year.

SManager won't let you change the max/min values of temperature scales. If in the future they do or you change to Neptune, here's my advice:
IF you ever exceed the max/min values it will simply use that last value. Which can be dangerous, but usually using more ideal scales will just prevent it from running like garbage if your sensor fails.
It's definitely worth rescaling, however you'll probably need to re-tune the scale. You can learn how to do that in the manual in my signature under the tuning section.
If you do rescale, use values on a curve close to your normal temperature rather than just linear increments so it's more accurate.

In SManager 2.2.7.0 I can definitely change values on temperature. The first number is stuck at -40, but the second value can be a 1+ rather than -24. Since the third value after -24 is usually 7, it would be ideal in my case to make the 2nd value say 15 degrees as the realistic starting point. Carry the -40 percentage to the 15. So you'll only gain one more space, but you can place that in your normal operating range.

FlewByU - Read that again very slowly and then read your reply again slowly.

The more I play with NepTune the more I am finding just how far behind the times Hondata is getting. They are EXTREMELY slow to update. The only bad thing I have to say about NepTune is it is truly function over beauty. In my opinion CROME looks better than AEM, NepTune, and Hondata combined haha.
