Abstract:
A method for allowing a user to adjust predetermined engine operational parameters via an electronic engine controller, the method comprising:providing a data directory comprising data structures for facilitating an interface with one or more devices that allow a user to communicate with the electronic engine controller via the data structures;arranging related engine operational parameters in the data structures according to predetermined groups;associating indicia descriptive of the groupings of engine operational parameters with the data structures of the data directory;providing a display device that allows a user to view the descriptive indicia corresponding to the different predetermined groups of related engine operational parameters from the data structures in one of a first mode or a second mode of operation allowing retrieval with the information processor of information from the data structures including descriptive indicia and operational data in the first mode of operation while providing access to the operational data in the second mode of operation independent of the descriptive indicia;identifying the data structures for viewing the descriptive indicia corresponding to the group of engine operational parameters desired to be adjusted; andmaking the engine operational parameters accessible for identified engine operational parameters and corresponding descriptive indicia to tailor performance to the user's preference.
