    Have it where the V2 only commands the ECM to stream data of what PID's are currently displayed. So, as you scroll down, the next PID is commanded and displayed and the PID that dissappeared off the top of screen is no longer commanded. This would allow me to have a PID group that has more than 24 channels selected, and no restrictions on data speed. Also, maybe have a button on the V2 that can be pressed that will record current displayed data.

    You could do a similar thing on dashboards in V7/8. Have several dashboards, and, as you flick between them, a new PID list automatically gets streamed from the ECM.

    I hope I explained it correctly (compared to what is in my head)!

    Cheers,
    Dave,

    +1... I like that idea.

    That is similar to what some scantools like the Genysis/Nemysis do... all pids are being logged, the ones visible on the screen are updated at high priority, the ones not visible on the screen are updated at low priority, and you can dynamically scroll/page up/down thru a long list of pids; it also allows you to move individual pids relatively up/down so that you can group pids together on the screen.

    This allows all pids to be quickly viewed when I have no idea what I'm looking for when troubleshooting.

    I wanted that too, but couldnt think how to explain it!

    Your reason for wanting this is the same as mine, you dont always know what PID you want.

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Default V2 Black Box Config Changes.

    Unless I missed this at some stage, I'm pretty sure it's not available yet.

    I's like be able to update the V2 config files using the SD card and not plug it directly in to the computer. Having a config section that holds the same data as the V2 "config" filesystem would be great, then a new option under "setup" for "V2 Config" and have a load / save option, that copies the data between the local storage and the SD card.

    Some advantages would be...

    • Faster changes for switchable tune options.
    • Easy updates to config files ( ODBC descriptions etc ).
    • Easy changes to PID selection files.
    • Less hassle for people who have a "semi-permanent" install of the V2.


    For some time now I've been doing a fair bit of tweaking and the V2 stays in the car all the time. I BBL a number of trips, then make adjustments based on the logged data, save the tune back to the SD card and the laptop hardly sees the V2 now.

    having another directory under EFILive on the SD card for "config" shouldn't be too hard to arrange....

    Simon.

    No, I meant something more like notepad.

    It seems my software is in need of an update.

    Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer. That part of the V8 software (the scanner and tune editor) is not released yet.

    Yeah "notepad" I had a good laugh too
