VCM Suite 3.0 Is Finally Here!!!

[veee8]

edit-gear/tire wizard

Opening the gear/tire wizard causes 3.0.10 to crash fairly regularly for me. Worked ok on an older C6 I just did though.
Especially with 2015 C7 files. Including this one
2015 C7 A8 stock 2.hpt

You can disable that in the Tools->Options menu




my does not give the option

only gives

system of units
and
tuner/autolock

This will be in the next 3.0

So is that 3.0.11?

[Keith@HPTuners]

Yes.

When was the last time you updated 2.24 prior to running the new V3?

V3 does a firmware update to the interface that only the very latest version of 2.24 is/was compatible with. Older versions won't work. I suspect that is your issue.

where can I download the latest version of 2.24?thank you..

[schpenxel]

There is not an official download yet. They are working on a "standalone" 2.24 version that people can use while getting used to V3 but it hasn't been posted yet. I thought I had the old version saved somewhere but I can't find the download or I'd send it to you

Hopefully in the next few days the standalone 2.24 is available

[Keith@HPTuners]

For the record, todays 3.0 can open up all 2.24 config files in both the channel form, and the layouts.

[schpenxel]

You guys are getting stuff done!

Now what's the deal with "RTD's" I see mentioned in the new Editor?? Hmmmmm. Looks interesting..

[5FDP]

Why does it not bring up the last saved name of the config or the same name of the config you are working on when you wish to save it again after changes??

I opened up a 2.24 config and it worked, wanted to make a change and then when trying to save it, the box was blank and didn't show up as what it was saved under before. Not sure if I am making sense here.

I thought it always used to just save the config (layout) without asking to rename the new file all the time, it would just auto-overwrite.

[Keith@HPTuners]

VCM Scanner 3.0 no longer loads your last used config/layout files. It actually keeps your LIVE config/layout in its internal configuration. There is no need to save any time you make a change to vcm scanner now, like you had to in 2.24. It's much more simple now.

You can, at any point, save your current Channels or Layouts into a off-line file for archival/restoration. You can use this technique to build your libraries of Channels and Layouts.

woot! thanks for working on this

Someone try this:
1) Open Scanner, log something from the car,
2) Stop scanning, but leave scanner open,
3) Kill power to the ECU (batt disconnect),
4) Reconnect batt, and turn key on, then try to scan again (hit record),

First time opening the scanner after battery reconnect, when you hit "Record" it will poll channels or whatever then start scanning with only a small delay...
Second time trying to scan when the scanner was not closed after batt disconnect, scanner will hang for 5-20 seconds, then sometimes may log a channel or two, but most of the time it wont. Doesn't hang after the initial 5-20 seconds, just isn't logging anything.

With the current 3.0.10 you have to close scanner after battery disconnect to be able to reconnect properly.

2.24 does not do this, I dont think 2.25 did this.


ALSO, I just noticed my Laptop scanner continued "logging" even though I pulled the USB cable out of it. The values werent changing on the Channels, but they were all still showing values, and there was no lines on the Chart vs, Time, but the Record button was still greyed, the Time on the chart was still incrementing, and it was not frozen in any way. I hit stop, then when I hit Start is when I got the "no device connected" message.

I just pulled the USB cable out of my Main PC while logging on the bench ECU... it continues logging data... if your graph is zoomed in to the point that it's scrolling, then you will see what Im talking about. 2.24 will freeze for about 5 seconds then end the log.

So wondering if some of these "freeze" complaints are due to lost communications, but the scanner doesn't know it.

Why I am having to rebuild half of the Histograms? Seems a lot was lost in converting between them both. I would love to see the 3.0 scanner work as good as it is said to, with my old config. Just open my config and go to tuning, not have to rebuild half of it. This has been a pain in my ____ the last few days. Stressful honestly.

[Keith@HPTuners]

I just tested on my bench and it seemed to work fine.

If you defined your histograms against ECM tables, 3.0 wasn't able to import those in. It should however have imported every other field. If you defined your histograms against ECM tables, they were likely only working for 5% of the vehicles we support, had invalid data for 45%, and none at all for the other 50%. This is why you can't define histograms against tables in 3.0 like you could before.
