My bad, it's been a long time since I've tried it. Thought it was up to 1, but .99 rounded is "1". :P lol Honestly I haven't ran any tunes that I used the smooth function on, since I've always needed more tuning and I figure the smooth function would be a last use item. I just tried it a f...

Six_Shooter

Select the smooth option and input a value of 1 or less. This will change how much "smoothing" takes place.

This will blend all adjacent cells to be a smooth transition.

Six_Shooter

From what I've read it sounds like it would, seen I've seen them mentioned together, but have no hands on experience to verify that.

Send Bob at Dynamic EFI an e-mail asking him, he'll tell you for sure.

Six_Shooter

.... and you sell "tuned" chips....

This should help some:

Robert Rausher is RBob on TGO

Bruce Plecan passed away a few years ago.

Haven't heard anything from ECMGUY in years.

The others I haven't heard of.

Six_Shooter

Well, I'm kinda thinking with only 4 injectors and being centrally located, that a TBI ECM, with it's pulse for every DRP, might be the best option, if that TB absolutely had to be used.

Six_Shooter

GlennEFI wrote:Or run that as a MPFI?

It wouldn't be "MPFI," if you ran that TBI.

Six_Shooter

I'm pretty sure your right as well, he mentioned that so I just threw out another option. My prefence would be a GM ECM, possibly a 16197427 would be a good choice. I'd have to think about this one for a while. The injectors on that TB are below the throttle plates, but spray at a central location....

I have a few years experience tuning, and just a couple weeks ago, I tuned a friend's car, that all he changed was the cam, from the previous tune, and it took me a couple hours to get it to idle almost stock, even though the cam has plenty of duration, over 274* IIRC, and without the tune would not...

When performing the cable test, make sure that it is NOT plugged into the ALDL connector under the dash. Many times if I have to perform that test while in the vehicle, I simply unplug the RJ45 looking connector that leads to the ALDL connector, while performing the test. You may need to add some de...

Six_Shooter

I don't understand exactly understand what you are trying to do. But it sounds like you are trying to change the value of an entire table by a constant number. If that is the case, you can highlight the entire table, use the tools editor to change the entire table, by multiplying, dividing, offsetti...

You need a Burn2 (or 1) or AutoProm connected to enable the Moates I/O to be opened.

Six_Shooter

I must have got it from moates.

Six_Shooter

I found that or at least a page very similar a couple years ago, and thought about the same thing. For myself I decided that my time would be better spent on other projects and just buy a Moates.net Ostrich. I also didn't care for the serial based connection, since I have found USB to serial adapter...

Six_Shooter

That could very well be the reason why you get the SES light. I actually forgot about that step a couple Sundays ago when I was tuning a friends car after he did a cam swap, and couldn't figure out why it would go into LHM, until a few days later when it hit me. I hadn't tuned anything "new&quo...

Currently I use V4 to log the '7060. I was out on Sunday tuning a friend's 1971 Cutlass that uses a 7060 ECM. (Custom 4 bbl throttle body as well. :)) I will work on getting V5 to connect, but haven't had time yet. Getting a dump of data is more than I could get with V5 for some reason. V4 with the ...

Six_Shooter

Could be a definition issue, could also be checksum disabling not being used.

You need to change the mask byte to AA to disable checksum and allow real time tuning.

Six_Shooter

Hey, what about an ADX for $85...

The information I have found so far:

16147060

FWIW, the engine datastream is the A138 and the transmission datastream is A177 from what see. HTH

Six_Shooter

I don't follow what you're asking...

Most maps in $42 are based on MAP KPA, VE and Spark tables for example.

Six_Shooter

Probably should have started with this... lol

What build number of V5 do you have?

Six_Shooter

So, the Ostrich is not found at start up or when you click on the Initialize Emulation Hardware button?

Six_Shooter

Have you tried going back to V4.14 to make sure it still recognizes the Ostrich? Have you tried reinstalling V5? I'm not sure if you have done this, but when you are installing TP, you can assign each version to it's own folder. I.E. I have V5 installed in the generic Tuner Pro RT folder that it use...

Yeah, I'd love me a Fluke O-scope. My Fluke DMM, was WELL used when I got it about a decade ago, and is still going strong. In fact it's the one I used for work. I'm in the same boat, the Fluke O-scope pricing is out of my budget, for my own personal use. Until I need something like that for work, I...

Give me a few days to take some pictures of my work in progress set up and that may give you some more ideas. You'll likely find that the pots become less responsive or plainly fail over time. I have some better quality pots to replace mine, but haven't got around to that yet, that'll happen when I ...

Which one have you found? I've been eyeing up a PC based one that is from Circuit-test. http://www.rpelectronics.com/Data/Thumbnails/TH-DSO-3XXX.JPG It's about $500 from a local brick and mortar store, but I'm sure it can be found cheaper online. I too want to use mine for same or similar uses. :)

Six_Shooter

Haha, not as much as I'd like... Being back in school now limits my time quite a bit. When I get a chance I'll take some pictures of my harnesses and how I have them laid out. It makes switching between different ECMs quite easy. I still need to it this all into a case or enclosure of some sort. BTW...

I am using a Jim Stim for my test bench and have been for a few years now. Here are a few pictures: http://domestic.3400z24.com/sixshooter/Tuning/Test%20Bench/desk01.jpg I was comparing some things between a log I had on my laptop and testing using my PC: http://domestic.3400z24.com/sixshooter/Tunin...

From the image of the device manager, it looks like COM1 is the proper port.

Does the COM1 port disappear in the device manager when you unplug the cable?

I'm wondering if it doesn't work like the cables I'm used.

Six_Shooter

Ok, wanted to make sure of the test first.

Are you sure that the cable is on COM1?

COM1 is usually used by native serial connection, USB, and Virtual COM ports through USB usually show up as higher port numbers.

Take a look in your device manager to verify the port number for your cable.

Six_Shooter

For starters, to datalog you need and ADX file. The ADX file is used by TP RT V5 to decipher the incoming datastream, since different cars or rather different ECMs and their respective codes use different datastreams. I see this as one issue. Another issue could be setup for the cable itself. It sou...

Just drag/maximize the undocked tabbed window where you want it. You can't do that when it's maximized. Also mine only maximizes in the main screen, not the slave screen, even if I move the component (I.E. Dashboard) to the slave/second screen. When I hit maximize, it goes back to the main screen, ...

Six_Shooter

Anyway to make the portion of TP RT (I.E. The main work area, or the dashboard) maximize on the second screen? I tried to move the dashboard to the second screen on my desktop after reading this thread, which is a very cool feature BTW, and when I tried to maximize the dashboard in the second screen...

Yes, the quick head snap back and forth.... then remembering.... Yeah, not fun. There are ways to log the WBO2. Most people use the EGR input and connected to the 5V output of the WBO2 controller, then edit their ADS/ADX to change the EGR values to WBO2 values. Another way that I have thought of, bu...

Six_Shooter

No problem.

Glad to hear you got it all working.

Anything else you need?

Six_Shooter

No, you don't need any hardware connected to edit the XDF, just have the XDF and ADX/ADS loaded.

Once you click on the drop down menu it should have some selections that are defined by the ADS/ADX, that you have loaded.

Six_Shooter

Yeah, those aren't actually "tunable" values, they are just headings, seperating the lists into sections.

Six_Shooter

Are these "spark" titles spaced to the right about 3 spaces?

Six_Shooter

It possibly may need to be edited. In each table, you can highlight then hit F2, to bring up the box that allows editing of that table. The last tab, will have "ALDL Association." You will see in this tab, drop down menus to select the X and Y axis association. You will need the ADS loaded...

Six_Shooter

There should be a second table that is a 2D table that goes above 4800 and used as a multiplier.

Six_Shooter

I have "no items found" at hex address of "00."

What is the full name of this scaler?

Six_Shooter

Can you be more specific about the scaler or constant that is being changed?

Also, what xdf and bin were you using when this occurred?

Six_Shooter

I wouldn't worry so much about that mismatch warning, it may be an issue, but all it is telling you is that the ads, that you are using has a different name than what is saved in the xdf as the "matching" ads. Lets just go through your set-up just to be sure everything is correct: Tuner Pr...

Six_Shooter

What mask ID?

Six_Shooter

Turns out the one my friend was helping with was the white one, that took 3rd overall.

I just saw pictures of that car and a black one that had an LSx.

Six_Shooter

Yep, that would be the one, IIRC it's black.

That sucks, to get that kind of carnage, especially with one more day to go.

Six_Shooter

Cool.

A friend of mine from Florida is supposed to be there too, tuning a BMW.

Six_Shooter

It really is the easiest way to get the data you need, that can't be see in address hit tracing and to get tracing to work. Just as an FYI, your XDF might need some simple editing to get tracing to work. I find that not many XDFs have the X and Y settings set-up, that I have downloaded. Did you get ...

Six_Shooter

Put the cursor over the top edge of the dashboard, you should see a two headed arrow, click and hold to move the top of the dashboard up or down.

Six_Shooter

That was probably address hit tracing that was being discussed with the BMW, since they don't have an ALDL connection, like the GMs do. I'm sure it could be used with the '7747, but I've never tried it, since I have an ALDL cable. I also have read that it's not as good as using an ALDL cable. If you...
