AIM
AIM is data stream between ECU-s
- This is useful to display informations from ECU.
- For example send throttle, rpm... from a VEMS V3 ECU to VEMS round
- This need some step to configure in:
- 1: connect to V3 RS232 (serial) port
- 2: enable AIM (Output menu/Display settings)
- 3: burn configuration to V3
- 4: connect to Round
- 5: set up what to show (Display menu / Main display settings) for more details see the Methods
- 6: burn configuration to Round
- 7: connect Round to V3 (with adapter)
- 8: reboot V3
Method of settings for AIM:
- If you have 2 serial cables (easiest way):
- Vt(VemsTune) can receive AIM data on a secondary serial cable from the ECU while configurating the Round unit.
- The round unit has be to connect to the VemsTune with proper Com settings.
- Connect your V3 on the secondary serial port to the VemsTune and set the proper Com port in Display menu/ Round main display dialog / AIM port button
- note: If the test is not successful the AIM data will not received by VemsTune, check:
- your Com port number
- if using usb-serial converter maybe replug is needed
- if your Com port number doesn't exist it can be used by another aplication (VT checks the ports at opening the settings dialog so you need to reopen this)
- if using V3, if will send AIM data only if AIM is enabled, see: Display Menu
- V3 closes AIM stream if any serial communication was requested (by VT(VemsTune) or terminal), so try to reboot V3
- Open "Display menu / Main display settings" Dialog and push on "Start AIM" button.
- You can select the slots you want to see now. Main display settings
- The PC will show what the Round will display. (The Round unit does not receive AIM data through PC so it does not display it now)
- Burn your config to the ECU
- Configuration finished, test, modify and enjoy...
If you have only 1 serial cable:
In this case you have to configure your round without watching the output of real AIM data (Expert method) or you have to make your config in offline mode (Offline method)
- Expert method (fast, but needs experience):
- The round unit has to be connected to the VemsTune with proper com settings.
- Set the display slots what you want to see.
- (You will not get any response displayed because VT doesn't receive any AIM data ).
- Offline method:
- The round unit has to be connect to the VemsTune with proper Com settings.
- Save the config to a .VemsCfg file
- Open this file and press "Go Offline".
- Connect your V3 to the VemsTune and set the proper Com port in Display menu/ Round main display dialog / AIM port button
- note: If the test is not successful the AIM data is not received by VemsTune, check:
- your Com port number
- if using usb-serial converter maybe replug is needed
- if your Com port number doesn't exist it can be used by another aplication (VT checks the ports at opening the settings dialog so you need to reopen this)
- if using V3, it will send AIM data only if AIM is enabled, see: Display Menu
- V3 closes AIM stream if any serial communication was requested (by VT or terminal), so try to reboot V3
- Open "Display menu / Main display settings" Dialog and push on "Start AIM" button.
- You can select the slots you want to see now. Main display settings
- The PC will show what the Round will display.
- Save your config to .VemsCfg file.
- Push on "Stop AIM" button to release the serial port.
- Connect the Round to the PC and push on the "Online" button
- Open your recently created .VemsCfg file and press the "Config Upload". Your config will be uploaded to your Round now.
- Configuration finished, test, modify and enjoy...
Custom AIM settings:
- If you want to show different values or scaling it is available in the predefined settings, you can set up if you know the:
- AIM Channel ID maybe from .... .pdf for example: MAP_id=69
- Scaling(multiplicator) for example: MAP sends 1000 at 100 kPa so multiplicator is 1 for bottom display 0.1 for top display, 1.47 for show in PSI
- Scaling(offset) for example: MAP has barometric offset ( ~1000 is on free air), to eliminate it -1000 for kPa, -1470 for PSI displaying
