    Implemented some changes in the newest ECUx Templates (v11beta)

    If you want to try them out, feel free to grab the latest from here:
    http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/ecux/template11/
    And if you do give them a try, please let me know any issues you encountered, etc.

    Here are examples of some of the output of each:
    Single-gear template example
    Multi-gear template example

    The one for multigear runs is basically complete (pending user comments). The single-gear pull version just has the additions to the 1st tab - I'm waiting until it's been refined enough before porting the changes to the other tabs.

    The biggest change is that this version doesn't require one to use a specific group file to match the template. You can use your own group file, with variables in any order. You merely paste the corresponding column headers so the file knows what the data is.
    Helpful Hint: When you first open up the csv file from your log, the cursor will already be in cell A1. Click ctrl-shift-<right_arrow> and it will highlight the header row. Then just do a ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy/paste it into the templates.

    In addition to that, I've also changed some of the Auto-Calculators to be more flexible...

    In the single-gear-pull template:

    - In the FATS calculator, I added the calculated/corresponding MPH for 4200/6500, so it is immediately obvious if the results are from a car with different gearing. Also it can be used to remind us what the startMPH and endMPH are for our normal FATS pulls - this info can then be used in the Any-Speed-Range calculator below for other cars to compare to ours.


    - Previously there was a FATS+ 4000-7000 auto-calculator and corresponding graph. I've now changed this to an Any-RPM-Range Auto-Calculator, so the user can choose which range they want to measure time for. I left the startRPM and endRPM and 4000 and 7000, so it defaults to a FATS+ calculator, but a B5 A4 owner (for instance) could change that to the range for their CAPS time (3800-6500).



    - I've also added a similar Any-Speed-Range Auto-Calculator. It could be used to check you car's performance compared to other cars results in magazines, etc (ie 50-70mph). Another reason for adding it was to allow better comparison of "FATS" to other cars. That is, cars that have different gearing would give non-comparable FATS results if you only were looking at the 4200-6500 RPM range. Now, those other cars can use this to enter ~57mph and ~91mph to see what their apples-to-apples FATS times are.




    In the multi-gear template:

    - I replaced the 0-100mph calculator with a similar Any-Speed-Range Auto-Calculator.
