Initializing Table Values

Initializing table values sets the value of every cell in the selected table to a constant.

To initialize the values of the table:

  1. Click  or select Table -> Initialize.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, select the constant value that you want to insert into each cell.

When initializing tables, you should think about your strategy. Filling with zeros can cause a problem for some strategies using "modifier" tables. For example, your strategy might use several speed-load tables for different values of AFR, or you might use an AFR table as a "modifier" to add to a single speed-load table to adjust for the effects of different AFR levels on your torque output.

If your table is a modifier that is added to other tables, you should initially fill it with 0s; if it is a modifier that multiplies other tables, you should fill it with 1s. If you do not, when CAGE tries to fill the table by rearranging the strategy equation (model = table * modifier table), there is a problem, as you cannot divide by zero. This operation will fail.
