    Default Manvac pid

    I just updated to 7.5.5

    I want to keep manvac in inHg. Is there a way I can switch that back to inHg? All there is now is kPa and PSI.

    Am I left with just putting the older version back on?

    You may need to create a calculated pid in calc_pids.txt to display MANVAC in inHg.

    Is the pid in question GM.MANVAC...?

    Is your calc_pids.txt file the default one or have you edited it before...?

    If it's the original one, I can make you one later, I'll post it here.

    Copy this file to either of (whichever one you have):
    My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration
    My Documents\EFILive\V7\User Configuration


    Then open scantool:
    in PIDs tab, select both GM.MANVAC and CALC.MANVAC;

    in charts/gauges, available pids are:
    CALC.MANVAC.inHg
    CALC.MANVAC.psi
    CALC.MANVAC.kPa

    Everytime, I tried to measure something with an inch of mercury is just puddles up so I just switched to kPa. Also, I was running out of peoples' feet to cut off for measuring things with so I went with meter sticks.
