Kistler enhances its KiBox software with version V2.1, which can now be used directly on engine test benches, and mobile applications on the road. New features further extend the usability of this KiBox software: new calculation options, the addition of new virtual channels and other interesting functions. Developed in close collaboration with customers, the software can now be downloaded free of charge from the Kistler website.
KiBox Cockpit V2.1 version for use on engine test benches
Version 2.1 of the KiBox software is fully compatible with test benches thanks to a universal interface including IndiCom DCOM, enabling it to be easily integrated into current systems such as Morphee, PUMA Open and Stars. It not only controls the combustion analysis system, but also measures data from the bench system, opening up a whole new range of potential applications for users.
Extended hardware compatibility
KiBox Cockpit V2.1 enables precise TDC (top dead center) determination thanks to a capacitive TDC probe. The new software now integrates the automatic identification functions of Kistler's new 4665B piezoresistive amplifier (PiezoSmart). This represents a logical step forward in the concept of shared use of components from the Kistler signal conditioning platform.
More virtual channels
The new software introduces new virtual channels to increase the number of available channels. Multiplexed ignition or injection signals from several cylinders can now be connected to a single current probe, enabling ignition and injection delay calculations to be performed for all cylinders.
New calculation functions
Various other features further enhance the efficiency, accuracy and user-friendliness of KiBox software, including new calculation methods, general statistics and other expert functions dedicated to display and analysis.
