dmertz Add method to calibrate LinWideband

 We have pre-defined a number of common sensor calibrations for you.  These include things like the Innovate LC-1 wideband, the GM 3 and 3.3-bar boost sensors, the AEM boost sensors, etc., etc.  A complete list can be found on our [[externalsensorlist|Supported Aftermarket Sensors]] page. We have pre-defined a number of common sensor calibrations for you.  These include things like the Innovate LC-1 wideband, the GM 3 and 3.3-bar boost sensors, the AEM boost sensors, etc., etc.  A complete list can be found on our [[externalsensorlist|Supported Aftermarket Sensors]] page.

 As you can see, the next step is pretty easy.  You simply punch in two voltage-to-value pairs from the sensor manufacturer'​s documentation and you're done.  ​ As you can see, the next step is pretty easy.  You simply punch in two voltage-to-value pairs from the sensor manufacturer'​s documentation and you're done.  ​
  
-The LinWideband item works exactly the same except, of course, units are displayed as A/F ratio instead of pressure.+The LinWideband item works exactly the same except, of course, units are displayed as A/F ratio instead of pressure.  However, some wideband units don't faithfully follow the characteristics shown in their documentation. ​ If this is the case, you'll probably need to empirically determine the settings necessary to obtain agreement between the values displayed directly by the wideband unit and those displayed by ECMLink. ​ Probably the simplest way do this is to add RawLinWideband to your displayed values (click the Raw value button on the Display Values dialog). ​ Then lock the ECU in open-loop mode and force a stoichiometric measured (displayed by the wideband unit) A/F ratio (Lambda = 1.0, gasoline A/F ratio = 14.7:​1). ​ Observe the logged RawLinWideband voltage. ​ Set Max volts to the observed value and set Max lambda to 1.0.  (If you are using ECMLink'​s narrowband simulation, this observed voltage will also be NBO2 sim's WB switch point.)

 +Next, determine a Min volts and min lambda point. ​ Force a measured gasoline A/F ratio of 11.0:1 (lambda = 0.75). ​ Observe the logged RawLinWideband voltage. ​ Set Min volts to the observed value and set Min lambda to 0.75.  Finish by restoring your normal closed-loop configuration and verify that the ECMLink displayed A/F ratio values match those displayed by the wideband unit.
