From the Megasquirt manual

Quote:
# Injector Opening Time (ms) (InjOpen) is the amount of time required for the injector to go from a fully closed state to a fully opened state when a 13.2 volt signal is applied. Since fuel injectors are electro-mechanical devices with mass, they have latency between the time a signal is applied and the time they are in steady-state spraying mode. Typically, this value is close to 1.0 milliseconds. Note that the closing time should theoretically be subtracted from the opening time, but the closing time is generally very small compared to the opening time.
# Battery Voltage Correction (ms/V) (BatFac) is the number of milliseconds that MegaSquirt-II adds to each fuel injection pulse to compensate for the slower opening of the injectors with lower supply voltages. Generally 0.10 ms/V or 0.2 ms/V is about right. So, with a 0.20 Battery voltage correction factor and supply voltage of 14.5 Volts, a 1.0 millisecond 'opening time' is adjusted to 1.0 - (14.5-13.2)*0.20 = 1.0 - 0.26 = 0.7 milliseconds.

Conversely, If you had injector specs that stated the opening time was 0.7 milliseconds at 14.5 Volts, and your battery correction was 0.20, then you should enter 1.0 as the 'Injector Opening Time'.
