| Here are some pictures of the tuning manager in the new soon to be released version of Nissan Data Voice. I thought that showing these pictures might generate some discussion about the different parameters that can be tuned. These pictures are of a stock 1993 TT bin file. It was interesting to see the differences in some of the tunes that are out there. Viewing them this way really shows you and helps you to understand what tuners such as JWT did to create their tunes. There had been much talk in the past about JWT doing away with knock protection by keeping all fuel maps the same but what myself and Harry (Ztunerz) have found out is there is much more to the knock control than those maps and the level of knock protection in JWT tunes still exist. I'll have more on that with some pretty interesting video of simulated knock using a JWT tune later. The tuning portion of the software is specifically programmed for use with the Moates Ostrich 2. While there is nothing wrong with the NISTune concept of tuning, this form of tuning is just as effective and in some ways easier to use than the NISTune environment (IMO). It's also a proven method that's been around for years in many makes of cars. The new Ostrich 2 is very well designed. It has a constantly connected battery source within the unit that looks similar to the batteries used in a computer MB. The unit is always on. Moates has stated that the battery life (if all things were allowed) could last as long as 74 years. One of the neat things about this is that you can upload/download bin files or even change tuning parameters without even needing the car started or even having to have the car's battery connected. You can even tune it before it's installed in the ECU. Here is a picture of the Ostrich 2 exposed. The picture is from Moates website. The battery has been removed in this pictures but you can see where it plugs into the three little peg jacks that surround the large IC in front. The small board in the foreground is the optional bluetooth module.
 Here are pictures of the tuning manager. For many of the parameters I have made three columns. The adjusted value column which changes during tuning, the original value column which always displays the original value of the parameter when the file is loaded and the converted value of what the parameter represents which changes when you change the parameter.
 
Here is an option for the beep tone. With this you can hear an audible tone of a frequency you choose for confirming writes while tuning. In the options selection you can also select to only write tuned values to the bin file. With this selected nothing is sent to the emulator. This makes the tuning manager a full easy to use bin file editor as well.
