Howdy all,

Is there any software out there to diagnose the ram area for idle issues, fueling isues, trans pressure & shifting in the ram area for the common commodores?

By ram area, do you mean the stuff you can see from a log, but after the event when no log was taken? Other than regular DTCs, Im not aware of anything.

No I mean, the first bit's of data when you pull the bin data!

I'm guessing it would have to be like an xdf made to read & tell you what the readings are stored in the ram area?

Does that make sense?

Well its more of a snap shot of the moment the ram was read. All the useful bits come out in the data stream when logging, the rest probably isnt too useful.

Yeah but I thought it kept things like ltft's & shift pressure's & affective idle data & all that sort of stuff to find what areas everything is working in?

There's a lot of forums at the moment that are being filled with advertising crap! Bit of a worry! hope all personal information is safe!

Well its not kept. But its in memory as its being processed, and you can see it when logging with the ADXs. Target idle and shift pressures are in most the ADXs. The trans stuff is pretty similar, if its not in an ADX, copy it from one that does and it'll probably 'just work' [tm] (then post it up here if it does).

Yeah spam is a curse of the internet. Were on PHPBB3-latest (meaning no security issues) and they are just humans living in countrys where its worth a couple of cents to get on the net, sign up on forums and post spam. We have not been hacked, and delete em as they come.

Have been thinking, especially in the late model stuff there is data there that isnt in the datastream, so I revise my statement, yes a ADX could be written that does direct ram reads and shows different info. The ram in late model is 1K, and were reading 64 bytes at one time, so it'd take 16 reads to get all the ram, so at 8hz you'd be talking one memory read every 2 seconds. It could be refined though - you wouldn't always need all the ram. But if reading 1 ram 1 normal data 1 trans packet, then your still only going to be getting around 2-3 hz.

On the other hand if you know what each byte of ram represents you could always just customize your datastream so that it tells you everything you want to know in fewer packets.

And ALDL mode 3 can be used to dump 6 items of your choice so dont even need to mod the bin just need to know the address' of the items you want.

LMAO, now you guys are getting over my head!

All sounds interesting though!
