In case of bug reports please do not forget to write VemsTune version and V3 version
!V3 related
- VemsTune 4-24 and 5-18 versions. V3 fw 1.52.2. Laptop PC using Windows XP, serial port.
- Program "flashes" every 3-4 seconds. Sometimes will not allow me to type in numbers for a setting(inj. deadtime, 4 digits) without "flashing" and setting goes back to old number.
- Program freezes up on occasion, I will try to document the specific instances.(KevinBlack)
!Round related
- From version 4-24, VemsTune will not re-start after setting the device to "round"(KevinBlack)
- Will be fixed in next release: quick solution: open config\v3gui.cfg find defaultDevice and set back to v3
VemsTune Suggestions, some are already implimented:
Simple Keystrokes. Autronic is by far easiest.
- Hot keys will be configurable by user so everybody can set his favorite.
- "Escape" opens one of the drop-down menus (ALT in Vemstune-good)
- Then "Left/Right Arrows" to move to different setions - DONE
- "Hold Shift/Move Arrows" to copy cells in Tables - DONE
- Suggest using "+ -" for increase/decrease, and hold "CTRL" for larger change. Seems easier than "Q W E R" keys.
- Use "Page Up/Page Down" keys to move from one sub-menu item to another. Example: VE Table - Page Down to IGN Table - Page Down to Lambda Table.
- "Review Mode" like in Megatune, makes it easy to check/adjust all of the settings efficiently.
- vertical/horizontal arrow strokes act differently when used in 3D-map only (just like in Megatune) or widget 3D view with gauges (vertical/horizontal change places in 3D window)
- alt+arrow to correct 3d map viewing angle to correct this, defaults should probably be fixed /Emil
- If am I right, your problem is when you open a 3D table in menu and from group stored angle of 3D is different?
- that really was the case. Another pity is that 3D table can't be rotated as much as in MT. Booost map for example is much easier to tune upside down.
General:
- A SAVE Project button so that offline project adjustments can be made for customers and then emailed to them.
- Incorporate a tool to "fix the ecu" when stuck in Boot loader mode. PSITuner is good for this.
- VemsTune can detect Boot loader mode.
- If the ECU enters in boot mode at powerup fw is damaged so you have to upload firmwarwe to fix it.
- If the ECU enters in boot mode (by manually or with some tool) just powerdown and powerup the ECU
- If the ECU somehow runs the damaged fw you can use a serial looback at powerup and the ECU will enter in boot mode
- VemsTune can detect Boot loader mode.
- The follow function is not implemented into the 3D table view yet! The cursor should stay in the latest position when the follow(for example SPACE) button is pressed-FERO
- The cursors are exchanged in the 3D table view. The engine's actual position should be the green plot, and the actally tuned position should be the red cross, like in megatune was. Now they are changed in vemstune.Now it's hard to see where is the engine now, the red cross is hard to follow with eyes! Very-very confusing!!!-Fero
- Ok we will change this or make it configurable.
Can you give a more detailed info of the scenario
- Tool for Generate Trigger (does this work? Could use for testing outputs)
- Some way to either split screen with MegaLogViewer, or a simple key to "Toggle" between VemsTune and Megalogviewer.(KevinBlack)
- these are 2 independent application so you can use ALT-TAB
Connection bug: The connection lost randomly in about 1-5 minutes, and the gauges starts "jumping".I'm using 1.1.54 non-PS2 firmware, with VEMSTUNE_2009.05.27, with windows XP eng, and the USB-RS232 adapter from webshop, with acer aspire dualcore laptop. -Fero
- Can you demonstrate this behaviour. Unfortunately we unable to reproduce. Tried with CPU 100% load, didn't noticed connection lost.
short key bug
When opening Ign table the short key “W” due not seams to work.
- “W”?? You mean: SHIFT-1, SHIFT-2?
- I have the same problem(0.9.85)
- Could it be possible to add a background to the gauges?
- Yes it is.
- And maybe to could lock them to prevent sensitive keypads so they are not moving around.
- Check this Lock Gauge problem.
- Also saved and save as could be nice.
- Gauges can be moved, makes it smaller, larger and saved.
- If we type in the firing order could the value of injector and ignition table be automatic generated if using standard inj A = cyl 1. inj B = cyl 2 same with ign. nice job -Peter
SD card readout
"SD card overview extended" is only supported in latest (1.1.53 or 54?) firmware that makes entry for each startup (as if data were in different files, still can be read as a sequence of blocks though).
- SD card older readout functions worked in vemstune, but "SD card overview extended" worked sometimes, sometimes crashed (on a certain car it crashed repeatedly). It's a very nice feature, the data in the giant 1Gbyte card is hard to use other ways.
- if the fw is old, or better, the readout data does not seem like (per-inode entries), than it should warn "Erase SDcard and start logging with 1.1.54 firmware or newer to use this one-file-per-startup feature" or similar text.
Upload stuff without using any menu-s
An installer says: "When a customer has problems I like to be able to send finished mtt files to him, these can then be sent with command line tools or if he has communication problems I help him with bray over the phone"
Finished files make a lot of sense. It was planned that one would send project file, where the RIGHT firmware and/or config can be uploaded with 1..2 clicks (not lost in menu-s).
Vemstune (or an equivalent .exe or .pif or .bat tool in the same dir) must be verified to work with .vemscfg or .vemsproject file as command line argument. Drag'n'drop file onto running vemstune or it's icon should preferrably do the same.
- .vemscfg Upload / cancel dialog (serial port preferences must be possible to change)
- .vemsproject : dialog/wizard with direct (not through menu) 1 click access to verify firmware, upload firmware, verify config, upload config
Note that the vemstune over the network will be very useful in many cases, but dealers still need a way to prepare project / vemscfg files (in a documented way!) that can be uploaded extremely quickly (without using menu-s) by a computer-illiterate child supported over the phone.
- Remote tune over TCP connection feature is in integration/testing phase, planned to work only in newest firmware only with SIPR protocol.
Offline config editing
- Is it possible to save config after editing offline. I can't find anything that will let me.
- You mean you can view just not change and save ?
- I can change everything once I have loaded the config, but I can't find anyway to save the config
- Offline save to vemscfg functionality planned in next release.
- You mean you can view just not change and save ?
Gauges
- How can I add new gauges (especially knock_cyl_0_knock_val) to VemsTune and how Can I log it? I have tried to put vemsv3.ini, vemstune-v3-1.1.27.ini, GaugeSymbols.xml but no success.
- RT data can be displayed only if there is at least one descriptor associated to it.
- The gauge descriptor stored in db file. Create new gauge descriptor functionality planned in next release.
