In case of bug reports please do not forget to write
- VemsTune version
- V3 firmware version.
- Zip and publish your saved config (vemscfg) and Tools/firmware/config download when appropriate.
Issues
- "Review Mode" like in Megatune, makes it easy to check/adjust all of the settings efficiently.
Enhanced ergonomics:
- a combined function of 'convert to csv' + 'view last log' would be fine (or other method to directly write log for megalogviewer)
- A SAVE Project button so that offline project adjustments can be made for customers and then emailed to them.
- 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
Can you give a more detailed info of the scenario
I would still like to maintain functionality with MegaLogViewer MSQ importing for auto VE calculation.
- Is it possible to change the export of any single dimensional array to 'rows' instead of 'cols'?
- data would need to be terminated with a 'line return', and not just a 'space'
- 'warmup_clt_bins' has an improper unit, needs to be "C"
- ultimately need a way to import veTable from MSQ. Can this be added to work like the table import for .vemscfg?
- I have the same problem(0.9.85)
- Could it be possible to add a background to the gauges?
- Currently not. Need some implement.
- I think of a simple object like jpg/bmp image? (example Kevlar background)
- 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
- I tried to configure 3D editing keys same as MT was. It work until two-three last releases (now 0.10.0 (2009.10.02)). Now Ctrl+Shift+up/down changes 3D window height instead increase/decrease in big steps. -GintsK
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).
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.
- At the moment there is no way of just loading a project and start editing the "empty" config and then saving it to a file. It should at least have a Save as.. function so you can actually select to wich file to save the config. I´m talking about setting up a .vemscfg just like you can a .msq from scratch without connecting to a ecu at all. I don´t have a vemscfg cause I can´t save one from scratch and I don´t have a ecu to "download" one. - Gunni -
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.
- __Can I log it?__ I think you mean how can I convert it to csv (*.vemslog contains all raw data).
- To convert it to CSV you have to edit manually the appropriate *.ini (for example: vemstune-v3-1.1.27.ini) and go to __[Datalog]__ section and add new __entry__ to it.
Firmware Version
- I am currently running firmware 1.0.79, but VemsTune does not seem to suport it?!?! I am also led to believe VemsTune also suports 1.0.78. FirmwareChanges also states to use VemsTune with 1.0.78. None of these firmware releases are available in the web download tool. there is 1.0.75, 1.0.76 and 1.0.80 releases, but I cannot find ANY infomation regarding these on this Wiki!?!?!?! I refuse to use any of the 1.1.XX firmware versions as i suffered a loss of 14 degrees of 'trigger tooth before TDC' and serious kickback when cranking the engine to the point it was killing the battery.
- Can not find the new function (wheelspeed, wheelspeed-based launch and the new knock-threshold-map) in 1.1.61 non ps2 in VemsTune when i make a new empty project.
- I found a new row in the defaultfirmwareconfig directory in the new 0.10.0 VemsTune called CompileOptions: 0000001B, and loaded into VemsTune, the program showed the Mics Output new settings. I played it with a bit, but not got any logics. With ff it shows the alternate knock settings to. How this varible work???
How do I get 1.0.79 to work with the current version VemsTune?
1020 kPa MAP sensor range 2010-06-04 Marcell and Fero. This does not effect any "normal" user :-)
ECU calibrations / "MAP sensor range" (kpafac) should be
- 0-510 kPa when MAP sensor range unit = 2 (kpa_conf upper nibble)
- 0-1020 kPa when MAP sensor range unit = 4 (kpa_conf upper nibble). Currently only 510 kPa is max range
- Marcell verified, that inside the ECU 510 IS actually 1020 kPa.
- if we change "MAP sensor range" text options to "normal" or "double(>510kPa)" than it's only minor
However, for kpa_conf=42 the table bins need fixing !
- if VT sees "MAP sensor range unit"=4 at VT startup, it will only use 0-255 for table kpa bins (bad placement of the dot !)
FIX steps:
- install 2010-06-03 Nightly VT (if there is already a newer nightly, than the rest of the steps is not needed)
- rename vemstune-c.exe to vemstune-cORIG.exe
- download http://www.vems.hu/files/pacsa/vemsTune_2010-06-04_1024kPabugfix_exeonly.zip
- unzip into vemstune install dir
- Marcell tested with kpa_conf=42
- configuring 510 kPa sensor range means 1020 kPa actually (obvious from MAP reading) and table bins are perfect
- workaround: start VT with kpa_conf=22 (MAP sensor range unit=2) and than change to 4 (VT sticks to the good 0-510 kPa bins). 2 VT restart (and possibly engine restart) is very inconvenient (especially when VT crashes, and the nightly crashed a few times, mostly at startup though) so use the fix instead.
Injector additive trim - 2010-06-03
- 52 usec recommended for new tuning
- I asked about this earlier, but it's still badin the nightly !!!
Vemstune crashes
- start up nightly 2010-06-03
- power up a v3 with 1.1.78 fw
- VT crashes. (not always, but it happens to me appr 15%)
- it does not crash if v3 is powered up when VT is started
VT loses comm with 1.1.27 firmware (even with preferred baudrate=9600 but also with the default)
- happened repeatedly when changing values in primary trigger settings dialog
- 2010-01-08 (latest released !) also loses comm (initially connects, but after appr 40 seconds it loses comm)
- 2010-04-28 (latest non-nightly) also
- 2010-06-03 (latest nightly) also
- brayterm can tell that sometimes VT leaves the baudrate in 19200 (not the default 9600)
- sometimes in unknown state (not 9600 nor 19200), but it's not the prolific driver this time: after ECU reboot the comm (with brayterm, not with VT) is back in 9600 baud
2009-11-11 - apparently fixed a long time ago. (old versions stay the same, of course, so use a new version). Will be deleted when it tests OK in a new release.
- Vemstune 21/10/09 produces (????) a kpa vs kpa table on the boost vs rpm curve.
- Do you mean it just displays the text wrong ? writes "kpa" instead of "RPM" ? Or the entered numbers must be 50-100 times less than real RPM ?
- i use firmware version 1.1.62
- Somehow one or two users have managed to fix that by installing and reinstalling vemstune on their computer. I must say i havent managed to get that fixed.
vemstune version 2/10/09 works normaly, but as soon as you put 21/10/09 it goes back to kpa vs kpa.

Serial connectivity
I've got a customer with a ~10 year old laptop using native RS-232 port. This computer connects to VEMS ECU fine using 2009.06.25 vemstune, but cannot connect with current (2010.02.05). Tried with firmware versions 1.1.27 and 1.1.56
I've tweaked with baud rate, timeout, delay settings without success. Symptoms:
- Sometimes couldn't connect at all
- Sometimes connects and disconnects repeatedly at ~1-2 sec intervals
- Sometimes stays connected but gauges are jumping everywhere at high frequency (~50Hz) and always showing insane values.
2010.03.24
-The WBO2 calibration screen shows only 20 or 21 degrees without smaller degres, but it should show 20.8-20.9 etc..
-The saved config file name should contain the firmware version too!!!
-The sd card datalog files lenghts should show in "min:sec" format, not only in seconds format like now.
2010.04.13
-Does not load data and freezes application in 'Tune by Stats' section

Vemstune 2010-04-28
-Having trouble trying to set up two individual gauges for ADC2 and ADC5. Both will be using the same scale, but different descriptor, oil pressure and fuel pressure, however, setting up a guage for each ADC channel is not a problem, but If I change the descriptor and scale in one, it changes the other as well. What am I missing?
