Metric units in Tuner Studio

Post by Mike Coles »

Is there a way to get Tuner Studio to use metric units for all parameters?
I mean not only the gauges on the dashboard, but all the setup questions Tuner Studio asks - I am in Australia, and although I am old enough to remember being taught miles, inches and gallons, my mind has been twisted into metric by now.
I don't want to have to convert my 1712cc capacity into cubic inches, and myriad other units, as I go through the setup of my MS-II.

All settings in MS2/Extra can be entered in metric. Check your File -> Project -> Project Properties and Basic -> Gauge/Settings Limits.

From memory, MS2/BG uses imperial for a number of settings.

I know what you are saying Mike, I too am an Aussie. Honestly though all I have ever had to do was set my project properties temperature to Celcius. Everything else you might need to do has a checkbox metric option. Like CC instead of Ci in req fuel calc. I have kept up my imperial through always having at least 1 SAE vehicle.

Thanks for your replies. I think now that I might not have the full version of Tuner Studio - I downloaded a free version, but it is titled "Tuner Studio MS Lite v2.6.19 - (Go Online for Firmware Version) EFI Simplified".
I change temp to Celsius, but in the Fuel Set-Up/General tab the General Settings are in cu.in. and g/s etc, with no obvious way of changing them. (See attached screen shot)
Do I need to upgrade or purchase a different version of Tuner Studio?

The Lite version gives full manual tuning.

Consider upgrading the firmware on you MS2 to MS2/Extra. It is a free upgrade. See the Downloads and Manuals links above.

Wow, I never knew you could not select units in B&G. After so many years I am still finding reasons to love the Extra firmware.
