Thanx for all the suggestions on calibrating my EM2 –

I spent 3 hours last night trying to calibrate just the Oil Pressure sender. Only about 30 minutes of that were real calibration tasks – the rest of the time was spent trying to get a positive number instead of a negative number. Anyone know why or how the “Scale Factor” is negative? 

 

If the “Scale Factor” is negative then the derived value, of course, is negative. So, I tried to see if I could get the scale factor to “wrap around” by bringing it to zero – but after hours of holding buttons and countless counts to -63.99% (and or -128) I did nothing but overflow onto the screen buffer and start popping numbers onto screen labels. So, it was the same tedium getting it back to where it was.

 

There’s got to be an easier way!

 

Thanx,
