VCM Suite 3.0 Is Finally Here!!!

Yeah, you just log fuel pressure.. whatever you used as the "parameter" when you set the transform up basically

[schpenxel]

What did you do? This is the same thing I'm struggling with.

Whatever you selected as the "parameter", select that in charts/graphs to log them (assuming you're just trying to log whats in the channel list and not trying to do anything else to it)

I haven't had a chance to look at what you posted but will soon

[realcanuk]

It seems simple, just counter intuitive after getting used to logging the user defined stuff in the old versions. I guess we will get used to it. I have a whole 5 minutes actually connected to a running car so I cant expect to be an expert..... LOL

[schpenxel]

I vaguely remember that as well, but I couldn't find the post.

I've attached the channel config, layout, and a log that shows the channel transforms working, but the math transforms not.

Thanks.

I don't have the math parameters that you were trying to use, so I can't that part. Can you post those (let me know which # it is) or just a screenshot of the formula and what it's doing or not doing in a graph/chart?

True.. I was a bit confused about that too when it first started working like that. Makes sense I guess, but is def. different

Selecting the Generic sensor that was applied with the pre-defined transform worked for Lambda and Boost, but not the AEM pressure sensor (just came up as "Sensor" and didn't appear anywhere) Math functions still don't work with those generic sensors.

I've attached the math parameters I have set up.

Alright, here's what you need to do to fix the boost gauge not working

Click on the "parameter", type in PLX or boost, hit the gear icon with the green check mark to filter out the stuff that you can't use. Double click PLX Vacuum / Boost. When it asks about using a generic sensor I selected No in this case.. and then change the min/max and units to whatever you'd like to use. I left the defaults in this picture but I imagine you'll want psi

Honestly I'm not totally sure on what else isn't working but I'll try to look at it closer.

[schpenxel]

And here's what you need for fuel pressure. No need for math parameters on things you already have like these..

[schpenxel]

The rest of them I don't think you need math parameters for. Just use the built in stuff

Lambda error is built in now, no need for a math parameter
PLX lambda is built in
PLX boost is built in
AEM fuel pressure is built in

So that only leaves the injector pressure drop one. I'll check that one out

Edit: I checked out that one. You're thinking in 2.24 terms and are trying to use the external inputs directly. That isn't how V3 works.

What does the formula need to do for pressure drop? Just fuel pressure - boost basically?

If so, use this formula and see if it works:

[41104.98]-[41200.98]

[Niemer]

I agree that it should work like that, and that's how I originally had it set up, but, it doesn't seem to like it :\

[Niemer]

I may have to retract my statement. It looks like it might be working even though they show up as not available in the math parameter.

Thanks for the help.

[schpenxel]

Yeah for some reason sometimes things will show up as red/not available but then work anyways. Not sure why

[Sennin]

That is not a bug. Those engines use entirely different PCMs and thus different sets of parameters.

Really? because its populating on the older version without a problem, plus the h3 uses the 4L60E transmission in both the V8 and the I5

[Niemer]

Some of my gauges are acting funny, they are displaying the red face all the time, regardless of being in a red zone or not.

Got the same thing... but only on fuel pressure which I just setup.... all others seem normal.

[Niemer]

Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to put the value that the needle will touch first as the start. e.g. for the oil pressure gauge above, the first start - end should be 15 - 0 rather than 0 - 15, the rest is correct.

Works for me... good catch.

[realcanuk]

What I don't like is if I close the channels list, and put the gauges full screen, my round gauges become oval.... like they stretch to fill the page.

[schpenxel]

True, I don't like that either. I saw something Keith said about them eventually making it easier to work on the gauges but haven't heard anything about it in a while
