Yes, you can... :cheers:Quote:

Other way around. You have to have the bidi window open before recording if you're in stream-fast. In General or dynamic, you can open at any time.Quote:

So what is the protocol of the serial on the V2 cable , pin 2 Tx and pin 3 Rx or other way around ?
Thanks
With this exciting stuff coming up I thought I would contact PLX see if they can help us boys. I know the SM-AFR unit has a TX and RX serial ports for daisy chaining units:
Looks like ill be making up a cable :)Quote:
....please pass this along to EFI live. This is the serial protocol for the SM-AFR
The iMFD Digital output is
19200 Baud
8 Data Bits
1 Stop Bit
No parity
Packet format is as follows for the SM-AFR
1) Start bit (0x80)
2) Address bit MSB (0x00) for SM-AFR
3) Address bit LSB (0x00) for SM-AFR
4) Instance (0x00) if only one SM-AFR is connected
5) Data MSB
6) Data LSB
7) Stop bit (0x40)
(Packet set repeats exactly every 100mS)
Interpreting the data bits is as follows.
int datamsb;
int datalsb;
int data;
datamsb = datamsb & 0x3F; //This ignores 2 most significant bits
datalsb = datalsb & 0x3F;
data = (datamsb << 6) | datalsb; //data is the AFR value
when data is 0, AFR is 10 (gasoline) = 0.68 lambda
when data is 255, AFR is 20 (gasoline) = 1.36 lambda
when data is 256 AFR is "lean"
when data is 257 AFR is "Air"
All you'll need is a Max232 chip to convert TTL to RS232 levels

Initially only the controls will only be activated manually. The actual tests, that perform multiple actions and produce a result (like cylinder balance tests and injector balance tests) will be implemented on a per controller basis.Quote:

We will be implementing as many bi-di controls for the diesels as we can.Quote:

Yes, see screen shot...Quote:

There are two types of serial interfaces. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communications Equipment (DCE). Traditiaonlly the PC (or terminal) is considered the DTE and a modem (or whatever you are connecting to the PC) is considered the DCE.Quote:

For anyone who is interested...
The wideband controllers are also DCE because they connect directly to a PC. Because FlashScan and the wide band controllers are both DCE, when connecting them directly to each other, you need to connect pin 2 to pin 3 and pin 3 to pin 2.
