atljar 01-03-2005, 01:59 AM Ive been tuning lt1s for about 2 years. Still learning things, but you know what would be the GREATEST tool imaginable...a flagging tool of sorts.
So when you are logging in freescan or dataMaster you could mouse click at anytime during the log, and it would mark or "flag" that frame. In that way, you could be driving along, feel a hesitation/cam surge whatever, and flag the exact time and readings when it occured.
Would make tuning SO much easier. You wouldnt have to try and watch the laptop and drive at the same time (common we have all done it).
Who wants to try a hack, it cant be that hard to implement. I dont know much about programming, but freescan would be the easier of the two i think. Just add an extra column to the CSV output and continuosly output '0' to it. When mouse/button is clicked, change the output to '1' or something like that. Holding the button would keep changing the next frame, and the next until released. :)
turbo_Z 01-03-2005, 02:02 AM Funny you should mention that. I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday will I was driving around logging with datamaster.
Mikey97Z 01-07-2005, 01:53 PM Me too! I was thinking like a "bookmark" so you cn find that spot later. I use Datamaster. i can't believe they don't have this feature.
StickMaster 01-08-2005, 06:21 PM thats a good idea...ill get right on it
atljar 01-08-2005, 09:34 PM thats a good idea...ill get right on it
Awesome, which program do you plan on hacking?
atljar 01-09-2005, 03:56 AM FreeScan is in C++, AND i found the complete code...
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/freescan/#dirlist
Common comuter guys....
StickMaster 01-09-2005, 07:54 PM You mean I found the code.....lol
atljar 01-10-2005, 04:28 PM Ya, I was the one who was nice enough to share it ;)
StickMaster 01-14-2005, 07:55 PM Well I almost got Freescan to compile but I need this file...if anyone can find it for me I would be greatly appreciative. "nafxcwd.lib"
atljar 01-14-2005, 09:40 PM Found this...
LNK1104: Cannot open file nafxcwd.lib
This error sometimes occurs when a project uses a class from the MFC but
the project settings don't explicitly tell the link editor to look in the MFC
libraries.
Go to Project --> Settings (Build --> Settings in Visual C++ 4.0). On the General tab check the box that says "Use MFC in a Shared DLL".
StickMaster 01-14-2005, 10:18 PM Good deal jared, ill check that out when i get home
Team ZR1 01-14-2005, 11:36 PM The Ease scanner has that.
It has 6 F keys, each is a different color marker so while your recording you can hit a key and inject a color marker as many as you want and then when replaying the color markers show up so you instantly find the points of time you wanted.
Via the graph mode which shows 6 graphs at once the color markers show in each and if you do not want to see those markers you can turn then off.

atljar 01-15-2005, 01:19 AM Thanks for the reply, but i just checked out the price list for EASE scan. I about fell over. lol. I think it would be cheaper to hire a programmer to fix FreeScan than it would be to buy the Ease scan :)

Not sure what cost your looking at but the Ease scanner is $350 which comes with the software, cables and CAN/GMLAN interface.
StickMaster 01-15-2005, 08:04 PM Gimme $350 an ill MAKE you a cable and software.
StickMaster 01-15-2005, 08:15 PM Jared give me a sample file that you have logged (w/ data in it) so i can look at it
atljar 01-15-2005, 09:23 PM I was looking here...
http://www.easesim.com/scantool/data/scantool_pricing.htm
To me it looked like the software was 300 bucks, plus another 500 or whatever for the scanner itself. Not a ton of detail on that page and i didnt really go into it.
.... No logs saved on the comp at this second, ill get you one tomorrow and mail it to you.

No that is the Pro versions, you want the personal version so for a OBD-I its
PER-GM1-1 (GM OBD I Cable) $315.00

StickMaster 01-15-2005, 09:51 PM K, i almost have it, i need to add what you do to "set" the flag. Right Click? keystroke? Button?
atljar 01-16-2005, 01:13 AM Thanks for the link to the EASE scanner. Im going to look into it more. I would like the ability to monitor BCM stuff as well as ECM :)
Wow im impressed on your progress in the program hack !!!!!!! I suggest a keystroke, specifically the spacebar. Its big and would be easy to push/find while driving. Right clicking wouldnt be bad either.
StickMaster 01-16-2005, 02:02 AM Don't be impressed, this is hard part, lol
StickMaster 01-16-2005, 03:22 AM OK, ive got SOMETHING, lol i dont have my laptop so i cant test it out, you dont have to send me a sample file, just give me your email so i can send you the program to test out.

:)
Silvershark 01-16-2005, 04:04 PM If that works I would be interested in this hack! Great work!
StickMaster 01-16-2005, 04:39 PM It works, i sent the updates to Atl Jar, he should be zipping them and posting them soon! ;). LMK if theres any other "hacks" you guys want to add...I think I've got a few things I can add onto it to make it a little bit better, i will post updates somewhere, but e-mail me with ideas Lt1Tease at hotmail.com

Good work again Ian, i was just a lowly tester!
