-====== Product Announcements  - February 2, 2010 ======
-We're constantly working to improve our products and roll in various requests from our users.  This page will contain some updates on what we're spending our time on.
-===== Release date =====
-I know the first question coming is "when".  As soon as we know, we'll post it.  I promise.  I'd rather wait until we are sure about a release date than to keep posting made-up dates and missing them.  The very minute we feel comfortable enough with a release candidate to schedule a date, we'll post it up.
-===== V3Lite =====
-As promised, we have released [[http://www.ecmtuning.com/product/v3lite|V3Lite]] for the 1G and 2G DSMs.  We have posted a [[prodcompare|product comparison table]] for review.
-We do already have a few changes in mind for this product.  In particular, we expect to move the injector compensation from direct access into the ECU Config area because unlike most other direct access tables, changes to the deadtime table and even to the global fuel scale are just more convenient in the ECU Config area where they can be made as the engine is running.
-===== Individual deadtime control =====
-We've tested the idea of doing individual deadtime control and we really liked [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ecmtuning#p/a/u/1/cO7fPmAxG50|the results]].  Basically, you can dial in different deadtime values for each injector.  This lets you fine tune the behavior of injector sets that aren't match perfectly at idle pulsewidths.  Most places are not able to properly test injectors with our ECU drivers and at our typical idle pulsewidths.  So while the injectors they ship may be well matched at 100%, 80% or even 20% duty cycle, they can still be VERY different at idle due to variations in deadtime from one to the next.
-===== 2G DSM non-EPROM conversion =====
-{{http://www.ecmtuning.com/images/photos/noneprom2g.jpg?95x100  }}Yes, we're finally nearing completion of this project.  We've had the 1G DSM non-EPROM conversion out for a while, but the 2G version was really MUCH more difficult both in terms of design and fabrication.  Unfortunately, I don't expect we'll be able to offer this conversion at the same price as the 1G.  The component costs are just astronomical.  But, we're at a point where it doesn't make sense to halt the project, so we'll push it through and when someone really needs it, we'll be able to help them out.

-===== Quick-connect =====
-One of the next items on our to-do list is a quick-connect feature to provide for near instant connect speeds with the ECU by caching configuration data on the laptop.  The application will always know whether its cache of data matches the ECUs by a complex checksum algorithm.  But details aside, the idea is to reduce that lengthy configuration read step to near zero.
-===== Live edit =====
-You can already do live changes (while the engine's running) to most configuration settings in V3.  Everything in the ECU Config tab can be changed at any time.  That includes the RPM-based fuel and timing adjustments, airflow compensation, speed density VE table, etc., etc.
-You can even have the application auto-save the changes as you're making them!  It's like having a dial control for any configuration value in the ECU Config tab.  Check the "auto-save" box, select a cell or range of cells and then use the Ctrl+up/down arrow keys to changes values in the ECU instantly.
-Direct Access changes require the engine be stopped, however, because the ECU has to go into a reflash mode to save those changes to code space.  This isn't a major problem because most changes to direct access tables require time to review and tweak anyway.  The things that respond well to instant edits can already be edited at any time on the ECU Config tab.
-But we're always looking to improve things, so we're going to try out a system to allow for instant edits of direct access tables as well.  We'll keep this page posted with results and progress.
