  4. click on Detect button to let VemsTune detect the port and baudrate (this may take a while)

Expert examples (ini change)
VemsTune can show Knots instead of Km/h (unit used on boats and airplanes, 1 Knot = 1.852 Km/h )
  • In file VT_install_dir/config/include/section-gpsdata.ini around line 23 change
  • gpsSpeed = { rawKnots / 10 * 1.852 }
  • to
  • gpsSpeed = { rawKnots / 10 }

VemsTune calculates consumption in L/Knot (from GPS Speed, not roadspeed) :
  • In file VT_install_dir/config/vemsTune-v3-1.2.23.ini around line 2230 change
  • l_100km_temp = { roadSpeed ? (lphr * 100.0 / roadSpeed) : 255.0 }
  • to
  • l_100km_temp = { gpsSpeed ? (lphr / gpsSpeed ) : 255.0 }
