VemsTune/QuickStartAudi (2010-05-13 17:10:04)

Subpage of VemsTune

Example to upload project files that have been prepared (usually by the install supervisor or power-users)


Notes

The examples below were captured with VemsTune 2008-10-16 release. In 2010 vemstune these functions are available under File / Project: namely File/Project/Open (1.1.27 12x12), File/Project/Firmware upload, File/Project/Config upload

Experienced installers can prepare different settings for other engine family, with similar options like below.

Even if the software part of upload can be solved with a few clicks, the important safety measures still apply. Do not skip these (you might fill cylinders with fuel, blow ignition fuse, or worse...). Before firmware upgrade, always:


Quick project install

Install the latest vemsTune (at least version 2008.09.02) http://vems.hu/download/v3gui/

The installer will ask where to install the application (typical location C:/Program Files/VemsTune)

  1. choose 1.1.27 ( vemsprojects/firmware_1.1.27/ ) even for 1.1.7x firmware as well (see "defaultfirmwareconfig" below)
  2. Right click on audi-ann.vemsprj. A context menu will appear, 3 functions can be selected: VemsTune-context-menu.jpg
  3. Quick project upload (do both the firmware and config upload)
  4. Quick firmware upload
  5. Quick config upload

Quick firmware upload

Firmware upload dialog: appropriate Air and coolant files can be selected (2252 Ohm for sensors from webshop).

Select the right one and Save it and Upload the firmware. quick-firmware-upload.JPG


Project open + project config upload

The same procedure applies to 1.1.65 (or newer). If you upload an older config (1.1.27 in the examples) with recent VemsTune (2009-12 or later), it will automatically use "defaultfirmwareconfig/..." for any variable not found in the uploaded config. This "upgrade-feature" saves time: helps to get reasonable values in new tables (without extra steps). Note: it is recommended to review the tables and dialogs anyway.


Create individual project file - for advanced users

The file is a simple XML format.

  1. Rename/Copy the original .vemsprj file.
  2. Open it with Your favorite XML editor.
  3. The structure is very simple/straightforward.
