Data Aquisition, as it's called now, works fine. I've been using V5 in Alpha since about February.

You can't use ADX files created in Scanner with Tuner Pro V5. You need to either start from scratch and create an ADX using TP RT V5, or import and ADS file to be converted to an ADX.

The only issues, I have seem to be PC related, and that is it seems to be that the com port will either get hung up and not allow a re-connect after leaving TP RT open for an extended period of time, especially if my laptop goes into hibernation between logging sessions. The actual connection and logging seems to work perfect though, dare I say better than V4, especially with the ability to create the save file AFTER recording. This is especially useful if you're driving along and realize that you want to log, but haven't created a file to log to. Start the log recording and then when you're done, hit stop, and enter a name for the new log. Combine this with the short cut keys, and you can do this very easily. I have "R" and "S" as my initate log recording and stop log recording, so I can hit simple key strokes to log.

Dashes are far more customizable in TP RT V5 than Scanner Pro, with user definable needle sweep, new colours, etc.

The tracing feature, or more specifically tracing "bubble" is just like that and actual bubble now, instead of showing the 4 cells around the values being used. I found with the true bubble, I was able to pinpoint the cells in the tables that were having the most influence on what I was trying to adjust at the time. Using V4, had me kinda guessing, in that by looking at the values on the dash and back again to look at the most plausible highets influencing cells, the bubble would likely change what cells where being used. Trust me when I say this new bubble is far better than the V4 cell shading.

The menu at the top of each table is very nice to use, especially when you are working with rather large tables, such as $59, that has a 16x32 VE table, that goes way off the screen, and needing to move the table all over got rather annoying in V4. The compaorsions right on the 3D/2D graphs is also helpful.

There's lots of little changes and updates that you won't see in a 30 minutes peruse of the program. Once you get out and using it, the changes will become more apparant and appreciated. ;)

Real time tuning hasn't really changed from V4, most of the changes have to do with logging and GUI.

I use my TP RT mostly for logging and monitoring my car. The only difference in the way I use it, than using chips is I will go back to the car, and plug in a USB cable to upoad the new bin, instead of swapping bins. ;)

A new beta has been released with a number of fixes ...


TunerPro RT

5.00.5150.00 (BETA) (1/26/10): Download ... http://www.tunerpro.net/beta/Builds/Set ... T_v500.exe

* The Data Acquisition (utility) tab container can now float. See the View menu. By popular demand!
* "Constants" in the XDF are now more appropriately called "Scalars." Constant was a misnomer, and scalar is a more accurate term.
* "XDF Items" are now called "Parameters"
* Broke out emulation funcitonality into "plug-ins" so that hardware vendors can write their own code to make their hardware work with TunerPro. Contact me for details if you're interested. Work is not finalized yet.
* Began the process of breaking out data acquisition into plugins as well, so more complex cable, interface, and vehicle support can be added by the development community. This work isn't yet complete.
* ADX History Table (histogram) table axes can now be manually defined (to match XDF tables, for instance)
* When changing/editing XDF item properties (e.g. via F2), if the corresponding editor is open in the workspace, it will be updated with your changes
* Added the ability to encrypt definitions, and password protect their use and the abilty to edit them. This enables more people to release definitions that may contain information that they don't want to give away, but still want people to be able to use the definitions. Definition creators, please prefer to NOT use this feature. I add it with great hesitiation, and only due to common request.
* Fixed (or added, really) the custom log playback speed prompt, finally
* Fixed issue where negative address steps couldn't be entered in XDF table definition for internal pure axes
* Fixed issue where items assigned to categories that weren't named were disappearing when viewing the tree in category mode
* Fixed issue in table editor emulator upload code. Affects tables with index sizes > 16 bit (!). Resulted in incorrect data being uploaded to the emulator in errant locations (!).
* Fixed issue in ADX Editor where I inadvertently removed the ability to have a static packet aligned to a header (used by TechEdge stream, as an example). As a result, I added "align to header" check box in listen packet command.

Another new Beta has been released.

5.00.5197.00 (BETA) (2/2/10): Download http://www.tunerpro.net/beta/Builds/Set ... T_v500.exe

3D Graphs persist rotation/translation/zoom state when the graph is closed and re-opened, or if you bounce between graphing different object. This persists only as long as the table editor itself remains open. Once the editor is closed, the graph state is reset. To reset state manually without closing the table editor, use View->Rest Perspective in the graph window menu.
Fixed an issue where changes made to a table before swapping to compare mode were improperly saved (in fact, currupted) if you elected to save while closing the editor while in compare mode
A few minior fixes (and clarifying messages) to the notification system that updates parameter editors when parameter properties are changed via the XDF item editor
Fixed issue where scalar editor slider wasn't being initialized correctly when you first open the scalar editor if the scalar address was out of range without taking into account the base offset
Fixed crash during change log writing when scalar address was out of range when the base offset wasn't taken into account
Fixed issue where, when graphing a table and switching to compare mode in the table editor, the graph wasn't updated
Fixed issue where 2D table charts weren't being updated immediately when Auto Range was toggled (3D tables were being updated immediately)
Fixed issue where, if you don't choose to load last XDF at startup, the title bar still shows the last XDF at startup, even though the XDF wasn't loaded
