I started playing with RTACS tonight in my camaro. It was making my whole VE table the same number and changing it all once. Is that right? Also I could never get it to turn off. I thought I had it turned off and was driving and my car started running funny and pulled up the VE table and it was all the same number again. Im not sure how it kept changing it on its own.

Did you have the fine or coarse buttons enabled?

I think I clicked fine. How do you make it change only one cell at a ime vs the whole table at once?

I just started playing with it saturday and haven't had time to get back to it since. I am pretty sure it was just working on one cell at a time. I'll get a chance tommorrow after work to try again.:frown: Are you using V1 or V2? I am using V1

V2
Whatever I clicked it is changing the whole table at once and making it all the same number. I also can't make it turn off. I had to unplug the runner to make it quick.

Well I unplugged everything and re-booted everything and it all seems to be working right. The only problem I have is the rr is very picky about connecting to it. Once your connected it works great. I played with the RTASC fr a few mins and its pretty kick a$$. I messed up the VE table just to see how fast it could fix it, lol.

Played with mine for a couple of hours last night too. Very cool. I think you have to be sure to select all of the cells in both your scan tool map and the table in the tune that you want linked, and then click the link button. If only one cell was selected in the map it might cause what you described. That's what happened to me the first time I plugged it in. Seems to me that selecting all the cells by clicking the top left corner didn't work out for me. Had to select the cells by dragging across the table for it to work. Could be wrong though.

Going to try and work out idle tuning with RTACS next. Seems something wasn't quite right when I tried it yesterday.

you should only need to select the appropriate PID's and units in the scan tool for RTACS to work properly. There is no link between Scan Tool maps and Tune Tool tables that I'm aware of.

Then I have no clue as to why it was behaving strangely for me. Could be some other reason that it started working at that point. What threw me off was that a whole table was being updated simultaneously with a single value. Possibly something to do with the setup??

Checking through my RTACS setup and came across this in the cal.link.txt file. Is this right? Does A0001 have different functions in different OSs?

Also looks like that table is flipped compared to my Boost VE table.

Hard to tell with out seeing your actual tune, but the A0001 in your cal_link screen shot is for the E40 PCM. I thought an '04 Avalanche was still an LS1 PCM? I'd have to look into it when I have a little more time.

You are correct. I don't think this applies to my tune. Scared me though when I first noticed it because the E40 was hidden behind a search box and( I was searching for any references to boost). I was wondering what A0001 had to do with Boost VE.
