TP RT v5

I posted on code59 but it seems busier in here...

Hi guys,

I upgraded to TP RT v5 (Win 7) the other day and tried using it to do some tuning. There are a couple of questions I had that I was hoping someone could answer.

First off, in F29x (and all other tables actually!) is there any way to change the units in the table from kPa to psi/in? On the left is RPM and up top is kPa so you have to search the different logs/watch the AFR/boost gauge in order to make sure you are altering the correct cell. Even then, it's a bit of a guess.

Secondly, when viewing the "dashboard", I have a selection of a couple of options that seem to either display one value (knock retard) or a guage or all of them - every single gauge appears... Is there no way to make a custom dash with only the gauges that I want or only the values that I want? TPRT v4 had this option - I think there were 6 max and they were data values rather than gauges.

In the same vein, when using the monitor function, nearly all the data values are displayed on a screen with no way of really identifying what value is what? The previous version had 4 lines and you could select the data you wanted - this was awesome. The new version is very hard to use, if not impossible. I wasn't able to use it.

Lastly, I had a very odd experience thwe other night on a friend's truck. I was pulling fuel like crazy out of the truck to make tiny differences to the AFR and after each change I made, I pressed upload (one of the little green arrows at the top) and it said it was committed to memory, did the little green bar thing along the bottom of the screen and made the beep - success! This went on for two hours until we had about 11.6 AFR across the board.

Before we turned the truck off, I pressed the "Save" button and "commit changes to bin" which I thought was the same and it was like all the tuning we did hadn't happened. It was REALLY lean on start and we had to start from the original .bin again.

Any help on these issues would be great.

I am tempted to go back to TP 4 - it worked fine apart from crashing now and again and the features in my opinion were more user friendly. Maybe I need to embrace change?

Anyway, any insight would be appreciated. I have tried to register with the TP RT forum and am waiting on approval so I thought I'd post here in the meantime.

Thanks!

Mark

Re: TP RT v5

i have not had much success in V5. My problems were in setting connectivity. I stuck with V4 since it worked.

You can change the values on the dash by right clicking on the display (gauge or numeric display) and changing the parameter.

Re: TP RT v5

Thanks mate but on the dash, I still have about 60 different gauges - it's too cluttered!

I did find out that I can edit the table in the .xdf so that the F29x table reads in PSI along the top - looks like I need to manually edit each column name. There must be an easier/more accurate way to do it. Also, it starts at 0kPa so what does that mean? That ain't no vacuum that I have ever seen :D
