Please check that the loudspeakers are activated with adequate volume. Connection of the Laptop with the KiBox for the first Time At the first start-up of the KiBoxCockpit software you receive a loudspeakers message saying that a valid IP-Address for the KiBox has not been configured yet. -
Page 12: Setup Of A Measurement
Configuration Setup of a Measurement The following concept has been implemented into the software. The administrator (normally a technician in measurement technology with knowledge of indication measurements) prepares all sorts of basic settings (data extension *.kit) in a template file. This is carried out on the password protected administration level (delivery password: "kibox"). -

The integrated software- oscilloscope on the right hand side helps you to find the correct settings. If you see a sinus similar signal relatively symmetrical to the X-shaft, while the engine is running, which increases the signal amplitude at increased crankshaft speed then it’s most probably a question...

Mind the right decimal separator (see chapter 4.6.1.3). Check the entire hub volume on the lower domain of the dialog. - Page 17 Quick Guide KiBox To Go, Type 2893A… with KiBoxCockpit V3.1 If you have parameterized several cylinder pressure signals to the reference cylinder (e.g. if you use two high pressure sensors) then TDC-determination last attached automatically occurs to the cylinder pressure signal.

Page 18: Data Visualization
Configuration To determine the TDC inside the vehicle press key "F9“, enter the loss angle, put the vehicle into the coasting mode without combustion at valid speed and press the space bar. Please mind that the speed change is as small as possible during the determination! This is easily achieved by driving downhill in the appropriate gear. -

Please note that the scanning grid of the KiBox and e.g. ES590/ES591/ES690 vary. Generally the time grid 10ms and 100ms as well as the segment synchronous survey apply for the engine control variables ("synchro"... - Page 29 Quick Guide KiBox To Go, Type 2893A… with KiBoxCockpit V3.1 At the start of the INCA measuring data display respectively of the recording a so-called measuring mode is activated in the KiBox. This means the KiBoxCockpit display gets started, results are being calculated and transfused to the INCA.
