VEMS Tune

[[email protected]]

Sambas has been working hard, and has produced a Vemstune installer.

I've installed it a few times, its worth far more testing than that.

Didn´t come up with a VEMS or Vemstune folder in All programs,

I´m using a laptop with MS Vista.

If VEMS Tune would have better live tuning capabilities, I'd use it all of the time. MegaTune would be fine, but there are some shortcomings that have been discussed repeatedly.

Bug is a "burn" button works as a "write".  ;)

Where should we report bugs in the development of this?

I just downloaded the version put up today and it´s working for me at least alot better. I.e not crashing no matter what.

So I´d like to be able to report crashes and how they happened.

Firmware upload with temp sensor patch hangs the program, without sensor patches is okay.
What the difference at firmware/firmware upload vs. project/firmware upload (which put the ecu into boot loader mode beacuse of program errror)

[gunni]

Well I´ve been waiting for an update to the program for a while
and turns out there has been updates. only no updating done on the Wiki or here.

Maybe Sambas can take a look into this thread and we can report bugs so that overall usability is reached sooner.

Bugs.


Without any ecu connected or connected.

1. Can´t go into the "Firmware web tool" without it crashing.
This is what Event viewer registers.
"Faulting application vemsTune.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x49afd714, faulting module vemsTune.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x49afd714, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0037571c, process id 0x168c, application start time 0x01c9a0f30214bdba."

2. Can´t open "project settings" without it hanging.
This is what Event viewer registers.
"The program vemsTune.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 1190 Start Time: 01c9a0f2b888b09d Termination Time: 14"


Other then that I haven´t stumpled upon anything yet.

Also in the 3d mapping how you adjust the view isn´t remembered so if you like one view you´ll have to adjust to it everytime you open the window.

Also the shortcut keys only work if you have the vemstune program selected if you have a tuning graph up.
So you can´t use the keyboard alone to switch between ignition and VE tuning for instance.

Renaming of some of the gauges would be in order such as the analog inputs to be more descriptive.

Otherwise I like the various gauges possible as that allows you to set up a pretty good tuning view

VemsTune as is MegaTune does not support dual config switcing without restarting the program.
This should be pretty obvious that it should.

Bug:

VEMSTUNE 2009.03.12 is not show egt and duty cycle on gauges, with fw 1.1.27 12x12.

Interesting, what was a reason to change almost all keyboard keys comparing to MT?
Even if VEMS tune have any advantage (is it?), it is hard to migrate.

[mattias]

Don't try VemsTune until you hear about it being sorted out. There is heaps of useability problems with it, but looks promising in some areas - at least compared to MegaTune.

[GintsK]

Problem if we will not trying this software during development it will be in total isolation from real users, I suppose.

I use old good MT every day. So what can be a reason to mesh up all shortcut/tuning keys?!
In addition MT was not the only ecu using switchable arrows for migrating/changing values in tables.

I don't know, I don't know...  current versions seems strange for me. Lot of work is in. But is it more handy? e. g. working with tables. MT has less features, but it is more usable to select desired area of map and do whatewer wanted.

Shortcauts from my everyday:
Alt-L for logging
Alt-F-A for saving all calibration
Alt-F-I for importing tables
Alt-F-E for exporting tables
Alt-B Burn
Alt-F fetch from ecu.
M, N rotating 3D tables
shift-arrows for fine,
shift-ctrl-arrows for coarse tuning....

I use shortcuts (Alt-B, Shift-Ctrl-Arrows etc) all the time. Absolutely no point in changing that...
