Mathematical problem with the 'conversions' function

Post by BrendanSmall »

ECU: Bosch Digifant-1 (VW Corrado).
Tunerpro build: 5.00.6356.00

In the xdf, the original equation for converting the raw data to ignition in degrees was (X*-0.351563)+78, and it worked great in build 5.00.5197.00. Now with the new build, it's necessary to remove the parentheses in order to achieve the same results (or change the formula to (X*-0.351563)+0+78 ). It's like it's omitting the data following the parentheses.

Thanks. I'll look into this.

Cool, thanks! Both for not thinking I'm nuts, and for the wicked bit of software called Tunerpro! .

You might try 78-(X*0.351563) or 78-(X*351563/1000000) as a work around in the mean time.

For now I've simply added a '+0' after the parentheses, seems to work. It's not a big deal though, since my older laptop is still running a previous V5 build, that doesn't have the same bug.

If only my math teachers could see me now, lol.

Brendan, as mentioned above, 78-(X*0.351563) works just fine and you don't need the funky extra 0
