Infinity Quick Start Guide
Background
The Infinity platform is very different from previous generation AEM EMS products. The hardware
(circuit board assembly) is designed around a very advanced automotive grade microcontroller
(processor or “chip”). Several layers of software reside on this chip that allow for real time
firmware programming without the need to write computer code. This technology has allowed
AEM to develop advanced control models never before used on other AEM EMS products.
We’ve listened to our customers over the years and have attempted to simplify the tuning
process by employing an airflow based fuel control model eliminating many of the lookup and
trim tables from previous generation ECUs. The look and feel is very different and it may take
some time to adjust to the new tuning environment.
Our new tuning tool, Infinity Tuner is also a brand new product built from the ground up to interface
with the new hardware. It features a modular design that allows users and developers to build
completely customized templates and even design “plug in” applications that can automate many
tuning tasks. Unlike previous AEM Setup Wizards in older products like AEM Pro and AEM
Tuner, the Infinity Tuner Setup Wizard “plug in” is a completely stand-alone application that will
evolve with Infinity Tuner. It is much more integrated with the ECU hardware and performs
complex validation checks for all requested changes.
Among other things, Infinity Tuner is a powerful math processor. Special features allow users to
create completely custom conversion channels for table data. Virtually any function can be
employed to display data in different formats or units. Math functions are also used for table
edits. ANY MATH function can be used not just a list of pre-defined selections. Advanced users
will really enjoy the flexibility this feature adds.
A built-in logging playback/controls synchronization feature allows tuners to view live plot data
and make changes to their calibration values on the fly, knowing exactly where the ECU was
accessing table data. For more detailed post processing of data, AEM offers its new analysis
package, AEMdata.

3. Next look for a device labeled something close to “AEM Infinity-10 EMS.” It may be listed
under “Other devices.” Right click “AEM Infinity-10 EMS” and select Update Driver Software.
When prompted with “How do you want to search for driver software?” select the second
option, “Browse my computer for driver software Locate and install driver software manually.”
USB driver files can be downloaded from http://www.aemelectronics.com/catalog-software-
downloads-72/
Save this file in an easy to find location like the Windows Desktop. You will need this link below.
**If AEM Infinity-10 EMS does not appear on the list please verify that the USB plug is
securely plugged into your computer and the ECU. Also make sure that the ECU is in fact
powered up and connected correctly. If problem persists, try turning the key off and then back to
the on position or try a different USB port on the PC.
4. Hit Browse and select the “AEM_Drivers_Signed” folder. Make sure to have the “Include
subfolders” box checked. Hit next. This will install the driver software onto your computer. You
will now be able to use the “Connect to USB” option in InfinityTuner.
AEM recom mends restarting your PC after making changes to your device driver installation.
Note: To confirm the driver installed properly you can return to your device manager window. The
“AEM Infinity-10 EMS” device will now be recognized and fall under the tab “AEM EMS
Controllers.”

Plot Data and Control
AEM supplied layout files will come pre-loaded with several “Plot Control” windows. (Users can
always add, delete or edit them as desired.) These are special controls that allow real time data
logging and playback. To begin a PC log, go to the Log menu and select Start recording or hit
the “CTRL + L” hot key. Select Stop recording or hit the “CTRL + L” hot key again to stop
logging. A dialog will ask if you want to save the data or not. If you select “Yes,” you will be
prompted to save the current session file. A session file contains all the current configuration and
calibration data along with a log file. If you open that session file again, the file will be loaded and
all plot controls will be populated with the recorded data.
Plot Window Tools
Selection tool: Choose this icon by clicking on it then left click and drag through the plot
window to view current data values.
Pan tool: Choose this icon by clicking on it then left click and drag through the plot window
to pan the data left or right. Hot Key – Left/Right arrow
Zoom tool: Choose this icon by clicking on it then left click and drag up and down to zoom in
and out. Alternatively, a mouse scroll wheel can be used after selecting the zoom tool. Hot Key –
Up arrow/Page up, Down arrow/Page down
Show legend: Displays or hides the data legend.

Infinity Quick Start Guide
Additional hot keys available in plot control window:
Home – Brings you to the start of the log
End – Brings you to the end of the log
For Home and End, the current display range is kept, so if viewing 10 seconds worth of data,
Home will display the first 10 seconds while End will display the last 10 seconds.
Controls Synchronization
When the plot control is populated with data, using the selection tool and dragging through the
plot will cause Infinity Tuner to synchronize all control windows to the plot data. This happens
when connected to the simulator offline or when connected to the ECU via USB. To go back to
viewing “live” data, go to the Log menu and select Goto live data.
The image above shows plot data sync’d to control windows. All table cursors update with their
position relative to the logged data in the plot control. Note that in this mode, table edits are still
possible.

All Infinity ECUs are serialized. Be sure this identification tag stays intact. Write the number down
to be safe. Infinity ECUs are programmed with cryptographically secure firmware files and each
ECU has a unique file set. The serial number is used to identify the correct files for your ECU.
