Over the last couple of weeks the CarbOnBal software has been enhanced greatly.
- There is now an option to prevent the software from zooming in too far, making the display too jumpy to use in practice. This only affects the relative centered display.
- The display units can be set manually in metric and Imperial units
- The values indicated can be set to count up from absolute 0 pressure (absolute vacuum) or indicate vacuum relative to the ambient air pressure (detected at startup / reset) This makes it easy to compare the readings to existing systems.
- There's a reset to "factory" defaults setting for when things get screwed up from messing around.
- The smoothing used is now responsive. ie: its smooth when the RPMs are stable, as in when you are trying to compare values, and snappy when you snap the throttle. This makes it much easier to use in practice.
There's also the beginnings of what will ultimately become the manual. For now its just a text document which shows you all the menu options in the system. This should give you an idea of the features this software is loaded with.
Management summary: Its $%^ Bad-Ass if you ask me!

Oh yeah, to get the software you need to visit Github because that's where it lives:
https://github.com/dennisMe2/CarbOnBal
Just download the latest source, a new 'official release is coming soon'. Just get the latest as zip or Git Clone if you are a dev and want to give back to the community.
