Firmware
Features:-
- Wheel
Speed % Slip measurement.
- Ignition ECT and IAT Trims now be
configured as 2D or 3D Tables.
- Individual Cylinder Knock
Detection.
- Turbo Speed Digital Input option added.
-
Exhaust Back Pressure Analog Input option added.
- Crankcase
Pressure Analog Input option added.
- Injector Deadtimes can be
spanned using a 3D Table.
- CE Light functionality has been
improved and additional fault codes added. ·
- Improved
digital filtering on analog channels selected to wideband.
-
TPS and MAP Delta now span positive and negative.
- Dual MAP
limits with ECT or RPM selectable axis control.
- Closed Loop
Stepper with the option of selecting Bipolar or Unipolar. For
example this can be used to control the Audi/VW centre diff
(haldex).
- Improved digital filtering on Analog channels
selected to Wideband.
- Auxiliary Fuel Injection on Injector
Drives 5 -8. This allows up to 4 more levels of staged injection.
This can be used for rotary tertiary injection or on V8
applications having the advantage of allowing all primary
injectors to remain fully sequential.
- All Analog Voltage and
Temperature Channels now have independent Fault Settings –
NOTE: These will need to be initialised or disabled for ALL
channels.
- Virtual Auxiliary Outputs 1-3 have been added.
Functions like On-board logging, 4D and 5D mapping control can now
be switched using these channels.
- More switching options have
been added to the Auxiliary GP Output functions. This includes
being able to use other auxiliary channels as part of the
switching logic.
- Flat Shifting. This now has two cut methods.
The original edge triggered timed method or the new level
activated method which holds the cut ON while the digital input is
held at the selected level.
- RPM rate of change (RPM/s)
runtime value has been added as a table axis option.
- New Baud
Rate options allowing the ECU to directly interface to an AIM Dash
at 19200 Baud.
- The following options have been added to the
Auxiliary GP Output function: DI 1 -6 Speed, Knock Level.
-
Auxiliary Channels, Digital Inputs and Analog Channels not
visible/available in a particular ECU will always have their
functions set of OFF. This will prevent problems when downloading
PCL files between ECU Models.
- When 6 cylinder Sequential
staged Injection is selected the Aux Fuel Channels 7 & 8 will
be forced to read “Injection” i.e Injector drives 7
and 8 are used as the staged injectors.
- A second General
Purpose Limit function has been added. An example might be - use
it to monitor mixtures under boost and if they become undesirably
lean limit the engine speed. See the help for more examples on how
this can be applied.
- Launch Control has a new limit option
(Fuel Only) which provides a smoother launch option than the
existing Fuel and Ignition cut.
- Launch Control has had an
RPM lockout added to the ignition retard option. This means both
engine speed and throttle position must be above their set values
before the retard function becomes active.
- Speed Limit can
now be controlled using a Digital Input. A Speed Limit switch
option has been added to all Digital Input menus.
- Transient
Ignition Retard using a 3D Table to help engines that suffer from
"snap denotation" .
- Maxda Rx8 Trigger decoding.
-
Ford Focus Duratec Trigger decoding and VCT.
- Toyota 2GR-FE
Trigger Decoding
-
Honda K24 Trigger Decoding.
- EVOX Trigger Decoding and VVTi
Control
- VQ30 Trigger Decoding
- Holden V6 Trigger decoding
and VVTi control for later models of this engine.
- BWM S54
Trigger decoding and VVTi Control.
- Trigger Decoding for the
Renault Clio 3 RS with VVTi and the Clio 2 RS.
- Trigger
Decoding for the Honda 15x Jetski
Fixes:
-
GP Limit when spanning the table using a Digital Input
-
Launch Control Mode 3 intermittent arming fault.
- Ignition
Delay. On some Trigger and Ignition mode combinations it was
possible to lose the ignition output when the coil firing edge
overlapped a trigger event.
- MAP Hard limit now uses only the
2D Table and does not include the "Hard Limit Addition"
value which was hidden in this configuration.
**************************
Changes Read this ********************************:
-
The Dwell Edge has been re-labelled to Spark Edge. There is no
adjustment required from the user - its just a label change. For
example the Dwell Edge labelled Rising will now say "Spark
Edge - Falling".
*********************************************************************************
Software
Changes: -
- More axis options added for tables
(Digital Inputs and Cam Targets/Positions)
- Automatic
initialisation of table axis to appropriate values when selected.
- ECU Log Downloading from within Vi-PEC Tuning Software
-
Set Base Timing window added to assist calibration of ignition
timing.
- Block change by selecting a block and just typing the
new value.
- New error message handler. Rather than bringing up
little message boxes that must be dismissed, messages are now all
displayed in the Error Log panel.
- Colour of items in the
logger columns and plot can now be changed in the logging setup
form.
- Improved data rate for faster response and logging.
-
Logger column widths are now adjustable.
- With FW 4.3.7 or
newer the ECU is automatically reset after a pcl file download.
With FW versions older than that a message is displayed telling
the user to reset the ECU after downloading a file.
- Clear
Fault Codes option added to ECU Controls menu.
- Help now
includes all plug in ECU installation manuals.
- Flash new 3D
Plot. Now shows unevenly spaced rows and columns, has new colours,
can be clicked on to select a cell and rotated directly with the
mouse.
- An improved block value entry form. This allows faster
simpler changes to tables including basic math's functions. It has
automatic input checking to warn of problems rather than having to
deal with "Value out of range" message boxes.
- Put
surface graph rotate buttons back in.
- A large list of new
engine setup information has been added to the help file.
-
Version build information has been added for better tracking of
exact Vi-PEC Tuning Software builds.

itself off!
- Fixed a problem where some tables could not have
big enough values entered when using the block change feature.
-
Fixed when font size was selected in preferences it wasn't applied
to all panels.
- Changing between tables by clicking tabs did
not put focus onto the tables.
- Fixed a problem preventing
the up and down arrows from moving all the way up and down the
configuration tree.
- Clicking on menu headings did not bring
up the menu if they had no items in them.
- Fixed a problem
where font sizes were not changed and remembered.
- Large
changes were not working on some GP tables.
- Some new tables
were not completely zeroed when they were supposed to be.
