At the bottom of the screen you should see a box that says "Ostrich 2.0?.?? connected" The "?.??" would be your firmware version. As long as that is there, the Ostrich is connected fine. You will then to emulate click on the emulate button, which is located to the right of the In...

Six_Shooter

Knowing what ECU you're working with would likely help.

The only way I've seen this done is by adding a daughter board that has what is essentially an emulator built in to the board, such as Nistune for Nissans and the NVSRAM for some of the OBD1 GM ECMs.

Anyway of assigning it to the toolbar. I don't have a great memory for short cuts sometimes, especially when I can go a couple months between using TP.

Six_Shooter

Yeah, that's not the effect I'm going for...

I want to "release attached hardware" before I disconnect it.

Six_Shooter

Is there a way to add a release attached hardware button to the toolbar?

I've looked but can't find a way to do it.

I guess I'm really suggesting this be added, since I am posting in this section. lol

Thanks

Six_Shooter

Just seems like a whole lot more hassle than need be. :shrug:

Six_Shooter

Sometimes there is some change that happens to an XDF without me realizing it, and if there was an autosave feature this change would always happen. I like the way it is currently, asking to save any changes when I close Tuner Pro or open an new XDF. It's easy enough to save a modified XDF as it is,...

Do not want.

Six_Shooter

I meant cut and paste in Tuner Pro.

I've only messed with ADXs in txt format, so I can't say how messing with an XDF in txt format would work in the end.

Six_Shooter

It seems to be cut and paste.

Six_Shooter

Bluetooth to upload to the Ostrich works fine, datalogging from the ALDL on the other hand didn't work at the time, if it can now, I would so love to get that working and need no more wires in the car.

Six_Shooter

Bluetooth is what I was attempting.

I'm not sure what you mean by AT.

Six_Shooter

I tried this at one time with a GM ECM, and Mark said that it wasn't possible with the way TP is set up.

Six_Shooter

Possibly the wrong ADS/ADX has been used.

Six_Shooter

$0D, $0E and $31 all use the same location for mask ID. I don't know what you mean by the program not running well. :? Loading or not loading an XDF does not have an effect on the datastream (ADX) through TP RT. What do you mean by this: Six Shooter can I be sure that the 31 that appears in the mask...

Six_Shooter

BNKM is $31 (I assume you meant BNKM, not BMKN). I just downloaded it and checked for myself.

I don't see how loading a different XDF can effect the way the vehicle runs, unless you tried to adjust something with the wrong XDF.

BTW, BNKM is for a 1995 5.7L, Auto (4L80E).

Six_Shooter

I will assume that you're talking about V5, since you haven't clarified that yet. I think you're getting caught up in the name in the title bar. I just did 3 test logs at my PC using V5.7575 (I haven't installed the latest version yet). In each test, the previous logs name was left in the title bar ...

Six_Shooter

Hmm, It's always started a new file for me, at least in V5.

V4 is a different ball game.

Which version are you talking about?

Six_Shooter

I guess I'm missing something here.

In V5 when you stop the datalog it comes up with a save prompt automatically.

What would be the difference between this and "closing" the file?

Six_Shooter

V5 makes the log file after your stop recording. It's already been addressed.

Six_Shooter

If you're talking about V4, there won't be any changes made to it, since it's a done deal. Creating a log file in V5 is easy. What you could do is create some generic files when you have some free time and then browse to select them when you need to use them. What do you make them in? Like a notepa...

Six_Shooter

Which is what I've been saying all along.

Six_Shooter

You wouldn't use PROM ID, that is just a preprogrammed number that is spit out by the ALDL to identify the prom by datastream only.

There should be a MASK ID item in the XDF.

Six_Shooter

yeah some of the early cherokees mid sizes were gm, gm 2.8l v6 biggest crap motor ever. http://www.intimidatorowners.com/forums/images/smilies/dodgy.gif There are MUCH worse engines out there.

Six_Shooter

Ahhhh.....

I never tried to save to the C: drive....

Good catch.

Six_Shooter

I'm thinking about getting one of those PCMs for my test bench. Would that suffice for testing?

Six_Shooter

Is it uploaded to the DIY forum?

It would be at least good enough to compare the auto to manual bins to see the changes needed.

I believe I have a couple V8 $E6 bins, they are just auto tranny.

Six_Shooter

I've looked for a manual bin for that code, and haven't found one yet. Wanna point one out to me? ;) There's still one place I haven't gone through completely. Besides, the programmer would be a good idea anyway to put just an EPROM in the PCM, once tuned, so that the Ostrich can be saved from the m...

Six_Shooter

Pick up an EPROM programmer and read your MEMCAL.

Six_Shooter

I don't have a copy of that particular bin, but the info I have says it's for an automatic, a 4L60E, so you will need to shut off a lot of tranny related things to get the ECM to play nice. You might find a manual bin for that ECM here: http://www.eagle-mark.com/Forums/index.php Even if it was a 4.3...

Six_Shooter

It sounds like you have the wrong XDF. What is the ECM service number and the BCC of the bin? The BCC will usually be a 4 letter code, that is printed on a sticker on the PROM itself. Yes, you will need an adapter to use the Ostrich or new EPROMs. Knowing which ECM you have will help guide you in wh...

Six_Shooter

Without O2 feedback, it will be difficult to tune, even if it's just installed somewhere in the exhaust system for initial tuning. You can set the closed loop enable temp to max, which should be 255*. This would eliminate the from using the O2 sensor, for fueling control. You may also have to disabl...

I know I had an earlier version of V5 save fine, in fact I know I had a few earlier version of V5 work, so I don't know what's going on here.

Six_Shooter

Well tonight I did some testing, partly due to trying to find out why my laptop refused to connect to the datastream, after it shut off due to low power on the drive home from a meet tonight, while I was logging. Anyway, I decided I would finally try a few things, after it would connect again. I tri...

Six_Shooter

Load an XDF, one that would be used with your ECM/PCM, and then find the "Mask ID" variable, most commonly found under "scalers", and see what the "value" is there. If it is "AA" it could be anything, since that is a checksum disable command, but this will not...

Six_Shooter

I didn't realize that there were no errors without the vehicle running. Are you using a power inverter with your laptop? I have heard of some people having issues, when using certain inverters. Here is a thread on FSC.com: http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum/general-discussion/performance/tbi-tuning-...

Six_Shooter

The errors could be from using the wrong ADX, or just a timing issue in communication between the laptop and ECM. Also you can download ADX files directly from the download section and not need to import an ADS file. I'm not sure what you mean by "Downloaded the new RT version" the non RT ...

Six_Shooter

$31 may not be the mask that you have. Just FYI, there is also a $31 that is used in the turbo Regals and Grand Nationals as well. They are not the same, they just ended up being called the same by GM for some reason. You will likely want the $0E definitions. I would assume that the 3500 has a 4L80E...

Six_Shooter

What ADX file are you using?

I've installed a '7427 in my Grandfather's '71 pick up and haven't had issues connecting.

Six_Shooter

No.

I wouldn't use secondary injectors run off the ECM for fuel enrichment, if I was to use Nitrous

Six_Shooter

Hmmm.

That the secondary injector would work perfect for an idea that a friend of mine and I had, that would require secondary injectors to shut off, due to using progressive throttle linkage.

Are the code and related files uploaded somewhere? I'd love to see how well this would work for that idea.

Six_Shooter

So what application is this? I'd be interested in maybe using a secondary injector set-up in some of my projects.

Six_Shooter

I don't know why that is being said, other than for some people it makes it easier to find the matching files. For tracing to work, they do not need to be in the same folder.

Six_Shooter

The ADX, XDF and BIN do not need to be in the same folder for tracing to work. I have never had them in the same folder and have always had tracing work.

Six_Shooter

Can you get a screen shot of the parameter set-up for the XDF of that table?

I find that it's always something in there. I know I've linked truncated tables previously, and it always came down to something simple in the settings.

Six_Shooter

This is for a Ford application, I would assume? Are you using data hit tracing or datastream from a Quarterhorse? I know on the GM stuff, TP just uses the value in the variable that is displayed from the ADX and matches it up to the value in the axis of the table, regardless of using the whole scale...

Six_Shooter

I'm having the same issue currently.

I know I had this on a previous install, but I don't recall what the fix was.

Six_Shooter

Uhh, how can you "smooth" one cell?

This is for doing the entire table, or at least a large section, to have the transition between adjacent cells, well, "smooth" when looking at it in the 3D view makes this obvious.
