  2. X Y Graph on Tuning Page

    in G4+

    Posted

    Adam,

    On this topic... if we setup like this (for instance, I've added a "Time Plot" and added Boost Target and MAP to this as parameters... will this allow me to see a chart while the engine is running, live, if I press F8 when ready to go?

    I'm collecting the car (which has a Fury on it) at the weekend, but trying to prepare the layout now.

    Thanks!

  5. G4 PCLink - Red Text when Offline

    in Link G4

    Posted

    Hi there,

    When I'm checking things out offline -so not connected to my ECU - when I change parameters, the text goes red -- presumably to identify to me that I've changed that value but it isn't loaded to the ECU, I don't know.

    However, red text on my laptop screen against the black background is impossible to read - I've tried setting different colours in the themes, but none change this particular colour.

    Can anyone help?

    Cheers!

  6. G4+ (Fury) Tuning Cable Extension

    in G4+

    Posted

    Thanks Adam. Just for other people’s future reference who happen across this topic...

    The cable I purchased is an ADVENT (AUEX48M15) USB 2.0 Extension. 3 metres (plugged into 1.5 metre Link tuning cable). Bought from Curry’s / PC World in UK.

    I’ve done ignition base timing and about 2 hours of settings and fuel table stuff so far with no issues... however heed Adam’s warning in case there are connectivity issues!

  11. Link Aux Voltage to Boost

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hi again,

    On my old Motec, I could use a volt input (0-5) to the boost solenoid. Something like:

        0v   ->     3.5v   ->   5v   Aux
    -100% ->  -50%    ->  -0% Boost

    I'm reasonably sure this can be done with all of the options and tables, but I've searched the whole Internet and played around with the settings and I can't see how to link the two.

    I see that they have tables already like this linking ECT to boost pressure, but can't work out how to make my own custom compensation tables.

    Please can someone point me in the right direction...or just let me know how to do it!

    Cheers!

  12. Disable Ethanol Sensor

    in G4+

    Posted

    Is it possible to disable the Ethanol Sensor DI input so that it shows OFF rather than ERROR in the run time window...

    The only settings I can find for Ethanol is...

    All the DIs are set to off (apart from the Speed, which is wired in).

  13. 3SGTE Trigger Errors

    Adam, thanks very much for your help and for the link. I've now charged the battery and done the tests again... here are the results:

    All looks good, so I can continue to next steps.

    Thanks again.

    Adam, I'm now hitting another problem - all I've done is turn off the inputs, but now when I crank the engine the ECU disconnects from the laptop... do you know what would cause this?

    Even if I load the Link Base Map back in, it does the same.

     

    EDIT - Ignore this - I've just noticed a warning saying the system voltage is down to 7v! I suppose the car battery is going flat. I'll charge and try again. Amateurisk mistake!

    Thanks Adam. I've switched to the Link base map and switched over a few of the sensors which I've wired differently - and disabled the rest.

    I now get a nice RPM when cranking (225 ish) so that's working now.... however I still get the same results on the scope... when you say I'm doing something wrong, do you mean in the configuration of the scope? Any tips?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I've set up the crank and cam mag sensors on my Link and tried to crank the engine.

    On the run time menu I see signals lighting up "OK" for Trigger 1 and Trigger 2, but I also see a steady rise in Trigger 1 errors.

    I've done some digging around on the net and I believe I have the right settings - although perhaps not!

    Now, looking at the trigger scope... this isn't what I expected to see, but here it is:

    Thanks for any help.

  17. PCLink Software Issues

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hi Gerard,

    Changing scaling didn’t work for me. I installed the latest Intel graphics driver (it said it wasn’t supported (yet) for my laptop, so it was a bit of a pain to get on there - but it should be mainstream now).

    Since doing this it’s been fine.

    Cheers,

    Christian

    I'm finding 5.6.5 very slow to respond on start up

    Mine is also slow for the first, day, 30 seconds... then it picks up. I’m assuming this is the software just loading itself up?

    Hi Richard,

    I'd tried that before, but had "this software is not verified by your manufacturer", or something to that effect.

    However, your response prompted me to try again and force it on, old skool. 

    The PCLink Software appears to be responding better now - so fingers crossed it was the driver. Seems odd for a brand new machine, but so long as it works for now. I'll keep playing and see what happens.

    Thanks for the tip.

  22. PCLink Software Issues

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem with the PCLink software. When I change the layout - or even switch from fuel to ignition maps, the tables / graphical views fail to refresh properly, leaving images of whatever was there before in place. It works when I first load the view, but if I change anything it fails.

    I've searched for forum and I can't find any resolution to this (I've seen that there was another thread where people were experiencing slowdown).

    I'm using a brand new Lenovo laptop bought specifically for the purpose of mapping a car - this is the only software running on the machine.

    It's Windows 10 and the latest version (2017?!) of the PCLink software I can find. 

    The PCLink Version Information says the following:
    Version: 5.6.5.3338
    Build Date: 09:44:11 Feb 15 2017
    DLL Version: 3372
    Build Date: 15:09:01 May 16 2017
    OpenGL Version: 4.5.0 - Build 22.20.16.4815
    Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 610
    Vendor: Intel

    I've attached a screenshot of the issue... the right hand corner window is completely inoperable. I've reinstalled the software with no benefit.

    Any help greatly appreciated - I need this to work in Jan to get the car mapped and ready for the race season.

    Thanks,

    Christian

    Thanks Adam,

    If it's OpenGL 2.1 it needs, then I think you're right. I've done some further research (googling) on this too and it seems many others have struggled with OpenGL after 1.1 on VirtualBox.

    No problem - thanks for the info.
