Initial Release [release]

New page

== Overview ==
This feature generates a complete fuel tank calibration table from just '''three refuels'''. The user only needs to select the tank shape, enter the tank height and the sensor height after cutting, and the fuel level and litres of each refuel; the app calculates all points of the table automatically, with no need to fill in small increments and manually record each point. Available from app version 2.2.4.

The table generator has two modes:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Mode !! Description !! Sensor connection !! Output
|-
| Standalone || Refuel data is already available, or preparing a table for LIGO AIR, LIGO MAX, LIGO PRO BLE || Not required || CSV file
|-
| Sensor Live || Calibrate directly on the vehicle while connected to a LIGO AIR or LIGO PRO BLE / PRO 2(S) sensor || Required || Written directly to the sensor or to a CSV file
|}

</gallery>

== Preparation ==

* The fuel tank is empty or fully drained.
* The sensor has been cut to the correct length and installed on the tank.
* A tool to accurately measure the litres added is available (a metered pump or a calibrated measuring container).
* The two tank dimensions are known:
** '''H – Tank height (cm):''' the internal height of the tank at the sensor mounting position, measured from the bottom.
** '''L – Sensor height (cm):''' the length of the sensor after cutting, measured from the lower edge of the aluminium tube to the underside of the sensor base.

The difference '''d = H − L''' is the bottom gap; fuel below the probe tip is not measured by the sensor.

'''Three-refuel plan:'''

# '''Refuel 1 (offset):''' starting from an empty tank, fill to about 5–10 % of the tank volume.
# '''Refuel 2:''' fill to about 40–60 %.
# '''Refuel 3:''' fill the tank completely (100 %).

'''Note:''' For each refuel, record only the litres added in that refuel; '''do not accumulate''' the litres from previous refuels.

== Opening the Calibration Table Generator ==

=== Standalone Mode ===

# Open the app; on the '''Bluetooth Products''' page, select '''CALIBTABLE GENERATOR'''.
# The '''CalibTable Generator''' page opens; no sensor connection is required.

=== Sensor Live Mode ===

# Connect the LIGO AIR or LIGO PRO BLE sensor as usual.
# Go to the '''Settings''' tab > '''Calibration Table''' > '''Auto Calibration'''.

The page looks the same as in Standalone mode, with an additional '''Fuel level from sensor''' line showing the live reading from the sensor.

'''Note:''' The '''Manual Calibration''' item in the same menu is used to build a multi-point calibration table manually; this document covers Auto Calibration only.

</gallery>

== Step 1 – Tank Type and Dimensions ==

# Select the tank shape: '''Parallelepiped''', '''Cylinder''' or '''D-shape'''.
# Enter '''Tank height (H)''' and '''Sensor height (L)''' in cm (decimals are accepted, e.g. 60.5).
# The app automatically calculates '''Bottom gap: d = H − L'''.

* L must not be greater than H.
* Tap the ⓘ icon next to each field to view a short explanation.

</gallery>

== Step 2 – Refuel Calibration ==

The refuel table has three rows, one per refuel (row 1 starts from an empty tank). Target fill levels for each tank shape:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
! Refuel 1 (offset): 5–10 % !! Refuel 2: 40–60 % !! Refuel 3: full (100 %)
|-
| [[File:AutoCalib-refuel-parallelepiped-1.png|frameless|180px]] || [[File:AutoCalib-refuel-parallelepiped-2.png|frameless|180px]] || [[File:AutoCalib-refuel-parallelepiped-3.png|frameless|180px]]
|}

Refuel table columns:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Column !! Description
|-
| Fuel level start || Taken automatically from the Fuel level end of the previous row; the first row is always 0.
|-
| Fuel level end || Fuel level reported by the sensor after the refuel, in sensor units (0 – 4095).
|-
| ΔV (L) || Litres added in this refuel (not cumulative).
|}

For each refuel:

=== In Standalone Mode (the user already has the refuel data) ===

Enter the existing data of the 3 refuels into the 3 corresponding rows '''1st refuel''', '''2nd refuel''', '''3rd refuel''' (including the Fuel level end and the corresponding litres of that refuel).

=== Reading the Fuel Level in Sensor Live Mode ===

# Fill to the target level for that row and wait for the fuel surface to settle.
# Read the fuel level from the sensor and enter it in '''Fuel level end'''.
# Enter the litres added in '''ΔV (L)'''.

* Tap ⓘ next to the row name to view the target fill level illustration for the selected tank shape.
* When you enter '''Fuel level end''', the tank illustration in Step 1 shows an estimated % mark, helping you check whether the value is reasonable.

The '''Fuel level from sensor''' line above the refuel table shows the live reading with its status:

* '''Stable''' (green): enter this value in the '''Fuel level end''' of the current refuel.
* '''Unstable''' (red): the fuel surface is still moving – wait longer before recording.

=== Rows Highlighted in Red ===

A refuel row turns red when '''Fuel level end''' ≤ '''Fuel level start''', '''Fuel level end''' > 4095, or '''ΔV''' ≤ 0. Correct the values in that row before generating the table.

== Step 3 – Export the Table ==

# Select '''Sensor type'''; the number of calibration points is set automatically according to the sensor.
# To use a different number of points: select '''Custom''' and enter it in '''Calibration points (custom)'''; the points are distributed evenly over the 0 – 4095 range.
# Tap '''Generate calibration table'''. If the data is invalid, a red message box appears above the button (see the Error Messages section).

== Results ==

The '''Results''' page shows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! Description !! Item !! Description
|-
| Tank shape || Selected tank shape || V(4095) || Volume at the maximum sensor level – the largest measurable volume (L)
|-
| Parameters || H, L and d || V(0) || Volume at level 0
|-
| Calibration mode || Number of refuels used || Points || Number of points in the table
|-
| Offset || Fuel level and litres of refuel 1 || ||
|}

The calibration table lists each point with the columns '''#, Fuel level, V (L)''' and '''Zone''' (zero, offset, refuel 2, refuel 3, full). Tap '''Chart''' (top-right corner) to view the volume-versus-fuel-level graph – the curve should rise smoothly, with no sudden jumps.

=== Download CSV File (Both Modes) ===

Tap '''Download CSV''' and choose a save location on the phone; the app shows '''Success''' with the file path. Use the file to load the table into LIGO MAX, keep installation records, or import it via Manual Calibration.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! Value
|-
| File name || yyyyMMdd_HHmmss_<points>points_<tank>_H<H>_L<L>.csv, e.g. 20261103_101530_50points_cylinder_H60.5_L57.5.csv
|-
| Columns || No, Volume (liter), Level
|-
| Limits || Maximum 200 points; each volume value up to 65,535 L
|}

=== Save to Sensor (Sensor Live Mode Only) ===

Tap '''Save to sensor''', select '''Yes''' in the "Would you like to save calibration points?" dialog and wait until "Calibration points saved successfully!" appears. For LIGO AIR, the app automatically enables the calibration table on the sensor after writing; no further setup is needed.
