Using the Table Editor

Table Editor

The Table Editor is a critical view in Atlas. Using the Table Editor, you can change calibration lookup tables and modify ECU behaviors resulting from their computed values. Most, if not all, recalibration done on your ECU will happen from within the Table Editor, so it is crucial to understand its capabilities and how to navigate around it.

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains a few options to load, save, and edit the table you are editing.

The Live Editing Status Area on the right-hand side of the Menu Bar shows you the current state of live editing in the Table Editor. If a red "LIVE" box appears, then any changes you make in the Table Editor will be immediately reflected on the ECU, so be careful when making changes. Sometimes, you might see a yellow "Resync" label. Click this label to redownload the ECU's table copy so you can return to a LIVE session, but beware: any local changes will be lost.

For more information and diagnostics on Live Editing, see the documentation page: 

Toolbar

The Toolbar has a series of quick actions that you can perform such as exporting the table data, and performing mathematical operations on selected cells, such as adding values or averaging them.

The Calibration Area on the right-hand side of the Toolbar allows you to quickly change the Table Editor between different calibrations in your project. Most of the time, you only want to edit Global Calibration, which has its own dropdown in the Atlas Toolbar outside the Table Editor in the main Atlas window. However, you can change each Table Editor independently as you work.

Keep in mind that when the Global Calibration changes, any Table Editors that are currently selected to that calibration will also update to the newly selected Global Calibration. Any Table Editors that have selected a different calibration than the Global Calibration will not track the Atlas Global Calibration as it changes, unless the Global Calibration being changed from agrees with the Table Editor's calibration.

The axes for the table are listed alongside the table contents and scroll with the table cell data as you pan/scroll through it
