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.
Fixes:
- Flicker of runtime values in Windows Vista
- Cal tables 1 to 3 column labels did not have correct decimal places.
- Fixed a problem that caused some settings to remain visible when changing
between channel functions.
- Fixed row out of bounds warnings that occurred when using Ctrl+ -10t
table adjustments.
- Fixed two problems in the custom tabs menu.
- Fixed tables to stop slider bars drawing over tables when using small
screen sizes.
- Firmware updater can now work on com ports above COM9
- Fixed a problem where playback of log files did not display markers.
- Removed the "Marker found" message box.
- Runtime plot now defaults to "Show Points" unchecked.
- Fixed a problem where gauges had their tick labels rounded down rather
than displaying the correct value.
- Improved saving and loading of runtime configuration.
- Altered the warning that appears when an ECU is disconnected to show
"disconnected" rather than "error".
- Fixed a problem where not all tables were allocated properly offline
(eg GP PWM).
- Fixed auto detect and connect problem where the feature would turn 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.
