Hassle free USB communication - The Power
Commander USB will instantly and automatically connect to the Power
Commander Control Center software once it is installed. Simply "power up"
the unit and connect the supplied USB cable to the computer and PCIII USB.
Onboard notes storage - The PCIII USB stores the notes from the map in the
onboard memory. This makes it easy to see exactly which map is loaded. The
notes, just as the map itself, are automatically retrieved upon connecting
to the unit.
Individual cylinder adjustment - All PCIII USB units have a "cylinder trim"
adjustment feature that allows you to "offset" fuel to one or more
cylinders. Additionally, for advanced users, the PCIII USB allows individual
cylinder mapping. Now each cylinder can be mapped individually throughout
the entire rpm/throttle position range.
Enhanced "file compare" utility - The PCIII USB software allows you to
compare two map files without the Power Commander connected. There is a
numerical display as well as a brand new graphical display.
Easier to use "button adjustment" mode - The button adjustment has been made
easier by introducing a "startup delay". This lets the user have enough time
to start the bike and then switch the PCIII USB into "button adjust" mode.
The ranges of the buttons are now displayed in the software. Simply connect
the unit to the computer and press one of the buttons. Their ranges are
shown on the screen.
"Expansion port" for upgrades and accessories - The "expansion port" allows
easy connection of accessories such as our new ignition module, Quick
shifter, Multifunction Hub, Pressure Sensor display and LCD display unit.
Automatic map retrieval upon connection - As soon as you connect the PCIII
USB to the computer and launch the software, the map installed in the PCIII
USB will be displayed.
9V "Power Up" adapter - Every PCIII USB comes with a "power up" adapter
which allows users to program and interface with the Power Commander on
their desktop without being connected to the bike. Accelerator Pump - You
can adjust: A) The amount of fuel to add, B) The number of engine
revolutions during which fuel is added, C) The sensitivity of throttle
movement under which the accelerator pump is activated.
Base Map - The Power Commander is supplied
with a given (base) map stored in the microprocessor. This (base map) is
typically a map that has been developed to provide an improvement for most
combinations matching the map description (i.e. stock bike or performance
exhaust and air filter).
In general we have found that a typical stock bike has areas in the fuel
curve that are far from optimal for drive-ability and performance. We could
say that they are typically 70% optimized in stock condition and 60% - 65%
with minor performance modifications. After installation of the Power
Commander with the base map, we would expect to see 85% - 95% optimization.
Power Commander Alternate Maps - Each Power Commander is supplied with a
number of alternate maps on a CD-ROM and all the maps are available for
download on our web site.
You may notice that we have a map specifically for "Brand A" slip-on exhaust
and another for "Brand B" slip-on exhaust. Although the difference between
the two maps is likely to be very small, these difference will increase the
optimization for that given combination. If you have a "Brand C" exhaust and
we do not have a specific map, you should find that "Brand A" or Brand B"
maps will provide a good improvement on your bike.
If you have a Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP computer, you can upload alternate
maps or make changes to the existing map using the Control Center software
and USB cable supplied with your PC. (Detailed Software tutorials and quick
reference software screen shots are available on the CD-ROM or web site).
If you do not have a computer, you can change the fuel curve with the
faceplate buttons. This is a simple adjustment that can move the fuel curve
richer or leaner in each area of the map. (Please refer to the paper
installation guide or adjustment video on the CD-ROM). |
