-------------------------------------------
1) Engine Analyzer Pro Enterprise Edition Released We've released a
package of new features for the Engine Analyzer Pro, the Enterprise
Edition. Many of these features have already been used by some of our
"high tech" customers like Bjorn Dieldok of Norway, a real expert on
turbocharging, dyno testing, and engine simulation. Many thanks to our
friend, Bjorn.

The Some of the Enterprise features include:
 | You can use a full compressor map to define the performance of a
turbocharger or centrifugal supercharger compressor. |
 | You can specify a particular turbocharger boost level, intake manifold
temperature (after the turbocharger compressor), and exhaust backpressure
level. This gives you more freedom to simulate some particular situation
which may be difficult to simulate using the turbocharger compressor and
turbine model specs in the program. |
 | You can interface to the Compression Ratio Calculator program and transfer
data back and forth between them. |
 | You can run a part throttle performance “map”. This map can be useful
for calibrating electronic engine controllers, or just understanding part
throttle performance. |
 | There is a new Preference which lets you choose a different language for
certain labels in the program. |
 | Other new Preferences to fine tune or experiment with the calculations. |
Watching Map During Performance Calculations. Each black
"dot" represents a condition picked from map.
