Zero is IAT. 2 is ECT. 1 is 50:50 ratio.

That is not how it is defined by hpt. 0 being iat, 1 being full ect.
I am finding a lot of conflicting information on this one. Like i said with my experience adding to the bias helped get rid of fueling swings on heat soak. No matter how it works the end goal is consistent trims.
I should have consulted my notes. I not only had the equation listed backwards but I also quoted the wrong bias value operation. The physical table does have a range of 0-2 thus my brain fart. Sorry been a long week.
Lets use 50C for IAT and 100C for ECT and ignore the Kelvin conversion to keep the numbers nice and clean.
Correct equation
273.15 + IAT + ((ECT-IAT)*Bias)
With a Bias value of Zero
50 +((100-50)*0) = 50 = IAT reading
Bias of Zero completely eliminates the ECT input.
With a Bias value of One
50 +((100-50)*1) = 100 = ECT Reading
Bias of One completely eliminates the IAT input.
With a Bias Value of Two which is completely possible to input into the software the charge temperature is higher than possible in reality.
50 +(100-50)*2) = 150 = ECT plus IAT combined
That explains why values over 1 had weird results when I experimented with them a few years ago.

I want everyone to know I'm pretty sure this dirt bag tried to hack into my account here today. I've been on here nearly 20 years and I've never had an alert like this. This happened today, in the middle of bickering with this idiot.
Not to mention, every damn thing he posts is incorrect. Minister of misinformation, the maintenance man.
Strange the HPT definitions don't clearly state this and what the values mean, or allow something greater than 1. Source of a lot of confusion over the years.
For what it's worth, maybe another confirmation, efi describes this exactly as the post above from 4.7 in their software
What is the progress on this?
