Panels

Another element of the interface are panels. Through them you can configure the device. To add a
new panel, press F9 (or click on the Add panel icon in the toolbar). A window with all available
panels will open. For a quicker search, you can enter the panel you are looking for in the filter field.

Newly opened panel always show up on the right side of the desktop. You can move them by
pressing the left mouse button on the Title bar and moving the mouse to a new position. To
remove a panel from the desktop, press the right mouse button on its bar. A menu will appear from
which you can delete it (Close panel).

Some panels have a taskbar with dedicated icons. Same options are also available in the context
menu displayed by right-clicking in the panel field.

Page 9/33
Right-clicking on the panel bar opens a menu with the following options:

There are different panel types.

The most important of them is Smart grid containing all settings, tables and channels used in
individual strategies. Tables can also be displayed as separate panels. Closely related to the
Smart grid panel is the Help panel, which shows a description of the currently selected parameter.

The Scope panel allows measurement of signals present at primary trigger, secondary trigger and
all cam inputs. Calculated TDC (top dead center) point, injection time, ignition dwell time and knock
window for each cylinder are presented in visual form.
By using this tool it is possible to determine the trigger pattern for crankshaft and camshafts trigger
wheels, to check if the polarity of the signal is correct and to save the trace for further analysis or
for our technical support for troubleshooting.
For correct reading the signal inputs assignment is required. Pattern setting can be left unset.

The Project Tree panel allows you to create your own objects such as: CAN bus Receive Frame,
Table , Number, Logical Function, CAN bus Transmit Frame, Group, Import .CANX/.DBC frame.
Another type are panels for viewing variables, such as Text log, Variables Inspector, Tune
Display or Graph Log showing the course of logging channels over time.
The Logged Channels panel defines the logging frequency (in Hz) for each channel.

Page 10/33
Smart grid – All Settings

Smart grid is a panel containing all settings for individual strategies arranged in the form of a tree.

In each category there are dedicated:

– settings of variables (white color)
– tables (light pink color)
– channels (with a color corresponding to the color of the appropriate channel set in the
Graph Log panel)
– resources (resources) - for assignment of inputs or outputs of the device to a given
function.

There is no separate category for Resources. Settings menu for each resource is displayed when
given resource is used.

In the upper part of the panel there is a filtering field that is used to quickly find the desired
parameter. It is enough to enter a part of the name to get all the parameters with the searched
word in their name.

Navigation in the Smart grid Panel is done with keyboard arrows (up/down for selecting
upper/lower entry, left/right for expanding/collapsing node of the tree) or a mouse (double-click is
expanding/collapsing node of the tree).

Changed parameter/table value is instantly sent to the EMU PRO device, but stored in the volatile
copy of the project. Make permanent command is necessary to keep the project after
disconnecting the PC.

the currently open logs with other (Replace data)
– Save log - saving the log file to disk along with user-created bookmarks
– Export to CSV - exporting to CSV file
– Zoom In, Zoom Out, Zoom extents - change of scale
– Clear log – remove logged data
– Pause/ Resume log – when connected to the device, the log has to be paused to view
past data. Otherwise the cursor will be allways showing the current data point.
– zoom: - the current zoom rate is displayed on the taskbar
– C: - information about the current position of the cursor is displayed on the taskbar.

The Graph Log panel, just like the main application dashboard, has tabs that can be used to
organise the displayed channels (e.g. Fuel, Ignition, etc.). The handling of the tabs is no different to
that of the main application desktop.

Page 18/33
Elements of the Graph Log panel:
1. Channel panel – displays the channels presented on a given chart along with the values
of these channels indicated by the cursor. In case of a selection, it displays the channel
value for the start cursor. The active channel is indicated by a vertical white line next to the
name. The active channel can be changed with the Page Up/Down keys or by right clicking
on the channel name. It is also possible to select a channel by right-clicking on the chart.

2. Cursor
3. Value axis – if two or more channels are displayed on one chart, the channels with the
same unit have a common axis, the next added channel with a different unit has a separate
axis (displayed on the right hand side), and each next added channel with a different unit
has the displayed axis on the left when this channel is selected (the axis for the underlined
channel is visible on the left hand side).
In the autoscale mode, the maximum and minimum values of all channels within the graph
are searched. Green dashes next to the channel name mean that autoscaling is enabled.
When autoscaling is off, the lines are white. Autoscaling is enabled/disabled by using the 'A'
hotkey or calling the Axis properties window.
4. Time axis - time elapsed from the beginning of the log

 – Import .CANX / .DBC file – this function is intended for downloading predefined CAN
streams for different devices (e.g. CAN Switchboard, PMU-16 etc.)

When adding different objects to the project, it is recommended to use the Group object, which
allows objects to be grouped into logical sets. You should also make sure to assign correct names
to objects and variables. This will facilitate project management in the future.
You can also duplicate project objects using the Duplicate button.

Tune Display

Floating window or docked panel displaying live data values received from the EMU PRO device.
Data grid size and displayed channels may be configured by the user. Lambda target with
companion of 1- or 2- lambda sensor readouts in graphical form is displayed on the of the window.

Text Log

The Text Log panel presents the values from the channels for a given category in the form of a
table for time marked by the cursor on the graph log (when log is paused) or live data if the EMU
PRO device is connected. Displays the channel name, value and unit.
Pressing the right mouse button in the panel area displays the context menu:

Option Description
Add to Custom Adding a channel to Custom panel
Set log frequency Change the logging frequency

Custom

EMU PRO Client allows the user to create three separate custom logging groups. Any channel can
be added to each of them (Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3).
To add a selected channel (from any text log panel) to the Custom group, right-click on it, then
select Add to Custom and select the appropriate group (Custom 1, Custom 2 or Custom 3).

Pressing the right mouse button in the Custom panel area displays the context menu:

Variables Inspector

The Variable inspector panel is used to view values of

objects defined in the project tree including
CANbus Receive Frame channels (variables from
CAN bus), Tables (values from the tables), Numbers
(mathematical function values) or Logical Functions
(logical function values).

If a value is not a number but the ? symbol, then the

logging function for this channel is deactivated. To
activate logging (or change the log frequency for a given
channel) click the right mouse button on a given variable
and select Set log frequency and then the desired
frequency from the pop up menu. If logging is
suspended on the Graph Log (Pause), logging should
be resumed (Resume log).

Logged Channels

The Logged Channels panel defines the logging frequencies

for particular channels. These values are expressed in Hz.
It is worth noting that the same frequencies are used for both
logging to the USB storage device and for logging directly to
the EMU PRO Client program (via USBtoCAN) on the PC.
In the configuration panel, we can distinguish the following
elements:
– Groups (1) containing channels associated with a
particular scope
– Channels (2) containing data corresponding to their
names
– Channel logging frequencies (3) for Base or Custom
profile (4). Custom profile is used when channel
associated in Logger/Custom profile enable channel
has non-zero value. This channel value change is
evaluated 25 times per second.
– The bandwidth usage (5), expressed in [%] for
particular Log profiles
– The bandwidth usage expressed in bytes (6).

Configuration can be carried out in the context menu or by using the shortcut keys listed below. If
a given command or key is used on an entire group, the frequency will change for all channels
within it. However, if they are used in a single channel, they will change the frequency of that
channel only. Log condition values may be changed individually or all at once depending on
the column selected.
Key: Logging frequency:
Alt+` Deactivation of channel / group logging
Alt+1 1 Hz
Alt+2 5 Hz
Alt+3 25 Hz
Alt+4 50 Hz
Alt+5 125 Hz
Alt+6 250 Hz
Alt+7 500 Hz
