I guess VMOP is the voltage reading from the position sensor (input) and under advanced is the output. I'll test if the position changes if I change the input voltage.

One easy way would be to cut the wire that's the output from the MOP to the ECU and see what you get reading-wise.

Does anyone have a 13B1 3.11 Power FC here?

I do. mine is a AP engineering for FC3S

If you go to the "etc. > Sensor/SW check" Commander screen there is no FUEL sensor and STP switch right? There should be a **** and ***.

Thanks, I've splitted the RX-7 into FD3S and FC3S now.
Should FC Tune allow to upload FD3S files to a FC3S? Unfortunately I don't have the factory settings for the FC3S to compare them. Are they almost identical?
At least one difference is between both generations, the FC3S does not have a fuel temperature sensor and therefore all Fuel Temperature Correction values are set to 1.000 (No correction) while the FD3S has a correction of 1.020 for a fuel temperature of 60C.

Ah! That makes sense on the sensors not being there - the FC doesn't have the fuel thermosensor, and the stoplight switch isn't an ECU input. Very interesting!
I think you're right - you should not be able to upload an FD map into an FC PowerFC or vice versa. The motors are different enough that that could be a problem. Also, the FC version is quite rare - I'd say only a handful are running them.

The PFC seems to have pull-up resistors for the sensor inputs to detect not connected/faulty sensors. That's the reason why the Commander displays 4.98V and not 0V for the not present fuel temp. sensor.
The question is if the PFC ignores corrections based on faulty sensors or if the voltage is still converted into the temperature and then the corrections applied. That might be the reason why all correction values are 1.000 for the FC3S because the PFC always uses the last cell.

The FC fuel rail has no option for the fuel temp-sensor.

I'm sure you *could* upload maps, but *should* is another matter. It's splitting hairs a bit, as again there are VERY few FC guys running the PowerFC, and the ones that do most likely know what they're doing to some extent.

this is the output of my FC3S running Apexi PFC and tuned with Datalogit making 435hp....

A little info about the channel settings, Minimum and Maximum is used for scaling on the graphs, while the Limit is used for warning. If a value is above the the set limit the cell background is set to red and then fades out within 3 seconds. The countdown starts as soon as the values is below the limit again. So in case of a faulty sensor the cell would be red all the time.
So far there is only an upper limit because a lower limit doesn't make sense in my eyes. Let me know if you have other ideas for warning, audible, or whatever.

The only spot I could think of where a low value would help would be battery voltage. But, that's not typically something I worry about - I know I have a healthy charging system, and if it acts up, I can tell in other ways (dim headlights, hard to start, etc.).
That's looking GREAT!
Any news on the hardware interface? I've got money burnin' a hole in my pocket for it!
Thanks,
Dale

Just a quick comment. Coolat temp,battery voltage,ISCV voltage, tps voltage and ATF voltage to name a few should be displayed with below minimum warning, as it would not be advisable to tune with these and other sensors out of range. ( ie cold or below specs etc.)Also can these warnings be user defined as in colour , min and max value, on or off etc.

How about a way to add our own sounds/alerts to warn us of problems...I like to have sounds to back up the visuals as sometimes I don't always see something right away...I think low value warnings should be available for things like batt voltage, MOP, and maybe for something else I can think of....Also with the alarm/warning, what about an option for enabling/disabling just the alarm/warning for reasons such as (No MOP--like in my case)??
And as for the box is it going to have input and switched connections like the Datalogit?
Also, are you going to release a later version of the software with some of these new feature for test purposes?
Thanks

I know the airflow meters are one for each turbo. Not sure on the O2 sensor.
