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
