AE Data results retrieval
For those that have the AE software, how long did it take to get the data results? I did the cyclinder contribution test, click on the results tab and have yet to see anything, that was 6 minutes ago. Also, is there a specific way to do the buzz test? will it do the buzz test? I just started playing with it some. Any advice?

Ah, I see, so is it safe to say that the cylinder contribution is in spec if it doesn't give a read out? Also, how long does it normally take to start the buzz test from when you hit initiate?

Within 5 seconds it should start. The CCT should show in the end test complelted sucessfully if it did not find a fault. If it doesnt say anything then something isnt right. You can also look at Change Rotational Velocity for each cylinder in live pids. It will show a percentage which tells you how good they are firing at idle, the lower the number, the better, anything over 5% = bad injector.

I do have the "test completed succesfully" so I am good to go there. It must be the rotational velocity that I have seen someone posting before. On the buzz test. I clicked start, and nothing happened for at least 2 or 3 minutes. I will have to play with it some more tomorrow as it is now really dark. I have heard a buzz test before so would definately recognize it. Just curious to listen to it run.

You have your key on engine off when doing the buzz test right? Change rotational velocity is better to see how each injector is working compared to the others. Like mentioed anything over 5% is bad. ITP diesel has a good forum just for AE.

The CCT will not return any results unless there is a problem, all it will say is test completed. Make sure the engine is fully warmed up and for best results on an auto put it in drive, or manual in neutral with clutch out, with parking brake set. The truck must remain at idle during the test. I agree with ponch I much prefer looking at the PID on the live data screen
