Autotap Gurus:
I need to monitor my 2-3 shift and see exactly what RPM its shifting at. I have it programmed for 5500, but on the 2-3 shift i can "see" the needle go to exactly 6K rpms. (yank converter slippage i believe) What are the parameters that I want to use to monitor in Autotap?? Thanks for your help.

I usually run a graph on rpm and set the parameters up for 5000 to 6500 rpm to see the shift points. Where ever the graph peaks is where you shifted. Remember though, if you’re running it in Windows the results might be a little off as it’s slower. And if you have any wheel spin before the upshift that will also cause erratic shifts.

If anyone else has a better way of setting this up, I’d like to know also <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I think the real time graphs are kinda slow sometimes...

RPM,
thanks, but are there any 'specifick parameter' i go into? I dont know where to look. I remember there being like 8 differen sections (hydralics, performance, tranmission, emissions, etc...)
thanks!

If you're running it in DOS, then I can't help you much as I'm not too familar with that setup. But in Windows, you just go to where it says "graphs" on the upper part of the gray area of the screen and select all the data parameters from there. Hope this helps... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

If you can select TCC switch or something similar, that may be something to pull up. It's the Torque Converter Clutch solenoid and it measures it's slip speed.

If you are using Windows I would think that if you use the tables format and chose gear selection and engine speed that would probably tell you what you need to know and the updates would be fast as you would only be monitoring two parameters. Hope this helps. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

k thanks guys, i know how to log(record) the info(press spacebar) but how do i log it all out to print so that i can have a print out sheet of all the rpms?
thanks

by the way, this is for windows.

There is the option to export the log to a .csv file and run it in Excel for formatting and printing.

Also if you do not want to re-organize the columns in Excel after the conversion, when you are chosing the parameters to view in ATAP choose them in the order that you wish to see them in Excel and that is how they will come out. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Just curious, why would you want the shift point to be lower than stock?

Dope,
Im not going lower, due to the 'slippage' that my Super Thruster has my shiftpoint has to be approx 500 rpms lower t han the acutal shiftpoint. For Example, if I want my car to shift at 6K rpms, then setting it at 5500 will due just that.

im sorry, i am VERY computer illeterate, how do i go about doing that? I have microsoft word, could i use that instead?

I don't believe so, you need a spread sheet type program, I know .CSV files can be used in Excel or Access and these are part of the Microsoft Office package so if you have Word you may very well have Excel as well. To convert the file in ATAP, while the file is open on your laptop go to LOG across the top of your screen and it is the bottom option on that drop down menu to convert it over to .CSV.That will create the .CSV file on your hardrive. Then simply open it in Excel and then you can organize it any way you want for printing. Hope this helps. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Not really.

If you have a DOS version like myself (I finally foind a setup that worked), I also downloaded ATView from their website. When you open the file you logged in ATView, it automatically aligns the column headers (the parameters you pick) with the actual data it generates. Plus it graphs it.

If you do this in Excel, you kinda have to hunt and pick through the data to put them in the correct columns/parameters.
