  • Engine calibration development process
    Patent number: 6768941
    Abstract: A system of developing a calibration parameter set for an internal combustion engine includes a host computer having an engine calibration database and a calibration rules check database stored therein, and an engine/calibration development computer separate from the host computer. A first engine calibration parameter set is provided from the engine calibration database of the host computer to the engine/calibration development computer, and therein at least one parameter of the first engine calibration parameter set is modified to form a second engine calibration parameter set. The second engine calibration parameter set or the at least one modified parameter of the first engine calibration parameter set is then provided to the host computer, and therein a calibration rules check of the second engine calibration parameter set or the at least one modified parameter of the first engine calibration parameter set is conducted against the calibration rules check database.
