ECMLink (V3) Laptop Application Changelog

Downloads page

• Removed “undefined” from list of available captured values.
• Added support for V3Lite on 1G and 2G DSMs.

• Added new load scale feature to allow for scaling of the load axis for engine displacement larger than 2 liter. This feature could also be used to increase the maximum load row of the main timing and fuel tables inside the ECU.
• Native support for Windows 7 (without the need for compatibility mode).
• Merged various logging values into one so that you can view more information using less bandwidth. This effectively increases logging rate! You will need to upgrade your ECU firmware to v3.19.139 as well in order to get this new functionality.
• Added support for new AFRatioEst display item that displays the ECU’s target A/F ratio in a way that’s more accurate and much easier to use. You will need to upgrade your ECU firmware to v3.19.139 as well in order to get this new functionality.
• Change reflash logic to be more reliable. Although we’ve not had any problems with our previous implementation, the new version is even more failsafe. This does mean firmware upgrades will take a bit longer when you flash the firmware to your ECU, but the enhanced reliability should be a comfort to you.
• Change allowable value limits for all the custom “linear” routines.

• Changed “use as default list” option behavior with displayed values to work more intuitively.
• Added a user-defined option for MAP scaling to use with speed density operation.
• Fixed minor bug in copy/paste table functionality when pasting data of mismatching column size.
• Adding application warning when connecting to an ECU with firmware that's newer than the application.
• Added initial support for a much easier version of AFRatioEst to be released in a future firmware update.
• Added application support for relocatable locations inside the ECU. This is needed for the AFRatioEst change as well as a few others planned for future release.
• Updated a few help files pages that were missing details on recent feature additions.

• Fixed deadlock that could occur when changing parameters for certain display items
• Fixed issue with 64-bit “AMD” Linux systems
• Fixed bug with using LinearBoost and LinearWideband at the same time (they used each other's display configuration items).
• Added LinearFuelPress item for logging user-defined fuel pressure sensors.
• Added “always on top” and “opacity” items for detached table views. This allows the user to keep the timing table on top of the graph window while scrolling through the graph. Adjustable opacity lets the graph window “show through” the detached table view even with “always on top” is set.
• NOTE: To use the opacity function from above, you MUST install a full release of at least 3.19.40 before installing this update. The full 3.19.40 release includes a new Java VM that provides the required opacity functionality. Without this, you simply won't get opacity functionality on your detached windows.
• Added “show all available” function to automatically display everything possible from a given datalog. You can remove items from the “auto-all” list by unchecking the “include in display all” checkbox for each item you want to ignore.

• Fixed bug in Linux installer that could have prevented the application from starting up on certain systems.
• Fixed graph rendering optimization bug that caused artifacts in certain datalog items when viewed with a high zoom factor.
• Changed Ctrl-Q (Toggle hide-all) so that the previous and current “hide state” was tracked separate from any current display item state. This makes the function behave properly when your first (upper left) display item is hidden from display by default.

• Lots of optimization on graph rendering logic.
• Added dashed line and thick line options for each display item. Be care with the dashed line option. This is an “expensive” operation in terms of CPU usage. Don't use this option for values that change frequently (like front O2).
• Changed Ctrl-Q (Toggle hide-all) so that it toggles between hide-all and show-default instead of hide-all and show-all. This seems to be a more natural usage scenario.
• Added support for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You *must* update the cable driver, however. Do that first.

• Added support for logging LoadFactor rather than factory load index to EVO1-3 ECUs
• Updated support for EVO1-3 record structures to work with new extended timing and fuel tables
• Added new buttons to bottom of graph display for quicker access to embedded ECU Config and Direct Access data while viewing datalogs
• Fixed bogus error message when trying to run dial-in helpers under MacOS without first having the ECU Config tab open.

• Fixed up/down arrow issue with ALS timing field
• Fixed RPM indices on MAFClamp table (they now show the appropriate RPM indices based on ECU capabilities)
• Increased selection contrast on SD VE table to match direct access
• Expanded help docs related to IdleAir clamp function
• Added support for new “disable MAF Comp while running in SD mode” checkbox (requires matching firmware upgrade to access this function)
• Changed Java VM memory options to allow for more simultaneous large files to be opened
• Changed default (bundled) Java VM version. To get this, however, you must install a “full” release. The “update” does not include a bundled JVM. This does not fix any known issues, so it's not really that critical.

• Added fast idle ISC tables for EVO1-3 direct access
• Display an appropriate error when we get no response from reflash operation
• Fixed 2 bugs related to real-time changes while datalogging. You should be able to use the instant “save as changes are made” option while logging.
• Fixed bug related to optimized save of small changes to large tables that was actually dropping updates at the end of the block.

• Increased contrast on selection highlighting with direct access tables

• Added logic to speed up large table updates (like the speed density table)
• Corrected spelling of Celsius
• Added more EVO1-3 support functions, including speed density
• Added experimental “save to ECU as changes are made” button. USE WITH CARE! This can act flaky if you are making changes while datalogging at the same time. We'll either fix that behavior or remove this function, depending on the level of interest and testing results.

• Updated linear wideband property names to indicate lambda instead of boost
• Enabled “raw” and “hex” views to direct access tables
• First release of EVO1-3 support added to application

• Added support for the Omni Power 3 and 4-bar sensors. These can be datalogged, used for speed density operation or used for MAFClamp functions.

• Added initial speed density documentation
• Corrected glitch in AEMWB Gauge R1 mapping at 0.62v and 4.52v

• Fixed bug in detached-tables when minimizing and then restoring the application's main window
• Corrected inversion bug in SD table update wizard
• Added “tip in” correction table to direct access

• Adjusted GM 3-bar display routine to precisely match Delphi specification. This was actually a VERY minor change.
• Made some design changes to support new device “plug in” modules coming later.
• Made reboot/reconnect after direct access update much faster.
• Added framework to application to support new SD features coming soon.
• Fixed minor bugs in direct access display (like making color maps optional)

• Added function to allow live cell highlighting of various direct access tables
• Added function to detach various direct access tables from the application as floating windows.
• Added ability to individually color graph legend items.
• Slight change to BoostEst definition that may cause this item to disappear from your graph legend. Simply add it back using the Display Values dialog box if this happens.
• Small adjustment to LC1WB display routine to improve accuracy
• Added application version string to About box
• Added a few help file pages for functions that will be available in future firmware upgrades. You can ignore these until the firmware upgrade is available. These pages include Speed Density, AuxMaps, and EGR.

• Improved the MAF adjustment helper - MAFComp Adjust (CombinedFT)
• Added support for estimated HP and Torque for V1/V2 ECUs
• Fixed bug in datalog export function where the running timestamp was being reported as RPM

• Added TPS adjustment helper - TPS Adjust
• Added support for V2 ECUs and the MAFComp Adjust (CombinedFT)

• Fixed bug with reset LTFT function when used with a DSMLink (V2) ECU
• Added V3 MAF Compensation global scalar “helper” to help auto center the MAF compensation table - MAF Adj: CombinedFT
• Tweaked fuel calculator to provide an initial estimate of injector size and to allow for use of calculated global fuel adjustment
• Added View menu items to edit ECU Config and DirectAccess data embedded in a datalog more easily

• Changed version number in about box (may require re-acceptance of license agreement)
• Added some details to help file
• Added reset of long term fuel trim ECU menu item
• Added MAF adjustment “wizard” based on CombinedFT
• Misc: added ClosedLoop, fixed 1G EGR log item, added 0.5 min-clip to AEM 3.5 and AEM 5-bar, added details to some direct access tabs

• Initial release
