-====== A Word about the AEM WB Sensors ====== 
-I want to state up front that we here at ECMTuning do not particularly care for the AEM WB sensors. ​ Of all the sensors we support for datalogging purposes, customers seem to have FAR more problems getting the AEM WB sensor to log correctly than any other sensor out there. ​ The problem is that there are several different "​versions"​ of the AEM WB kit and very few seem to produce output voltages that actually match the documented figures. 
  
-That's why you'll find several different "goofy looking"​ AEM WB options listed inside ECMLink for datalog and that's why we have a page here dedicated specifically to the AEM WB.  It's just such a nightmare to support this sensor that we have even given passing thought to dropping support for it entirely. ​ The update rate is horrible (or at least it used to be...I believe their latest kit listed below is actually a good bit better about this), the driver circuitry is weak and the output voltages rarely match what they are supposed to.  So it's just a really undesirable WB kit for a number of reasons. 
- 
-But, we don't really plan on dropping support for it because as bad as it is for datalogging,​ it seems to be the WB kit of choice for a large number of people. ​ Just keep in mind if you buy one of these WB kits and plan to datalog it with your DSM ECU, you may find that you have to spend a good bit of time getting it working right. 
- 
-====== AEMWB Logging Suggestion ====== 
-A number of people have various problems with the AEMWB display routine. ​ There are a number of reasons for this, but most seem to revolve about the AEM's weak analog driver circuitry. ​ It's simply unable to properly drive a number of ECU inputs.  ​ 
- 
-One fix is to buffer the ECU input with [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​product_info.php?​cPath=26&​products_id=39|one of these]]. ​ In doing so, the AEM is not required to drive the ECU input directly. 
- 
-People still seem to get varying results, though. ​ So another fix is to simply not use the built-in AEM WB display routines and instead define your own using the [[linearitems|LinWideband display item]]. ​ To use that, you change the pin assignment to be Linear wideband and then manually adjust the mapping. 
- 
-One user found the following settings to work well on his own AEM WB install: 
- 
-  Min Voltage: 0.0 
-  Min lambda: 0.65 (gasoline A/F ratio of 9.55:1) 
-  Max Voltage: 4.99 
-  Max lambda: 1.32 (gasoline A/F ratio of 19.43:1) 
- 
-AEM has now come out with yet another mapping with their 30-5130 gauge (at least this gauge seems to have a separate analog ground, the brown wire, that should be connected to ECU sensor ground to improve the ability of the WB to deliver accurate voltage readings to the ECU): 
- 
-  Min Voltage: 0.50 
-  Min lambda: 0.578 (gasoline A/F ratio of 8.50:1) 
-  Max Voltage: 4.50 
-  Max lambda: 1.224 (gasoline A/F ratio of 18.00:1) 
- 
-Newer versions of the ECMLink PC app have this gauge loggable with this mapping as AEMAnalogWB.
