Finally took the better part of the weekend and wrapped up the new version of the ve equation program. The only reason that I was able to finish it up so early was because I changed direction. Instead of making the ve table editor built in, I decided to make it a seperate program. I have so many individual programs for every little task on TPI, LT1, and even more odd ball stuff, that I decided I would be better off to make a universal editor to handle all the different formats and tasks. That way all the features would be avalible to me on every pcm. With that mentality I added to ability to view and cut/paste the data, along with a gui to open and save the tab delimited text files for archiving. But you can only cut and paste, no cell editing. The program will link to the other ve editor when I get it done for on the fly ve table manipulation, but there wasn't any reason to keep this program version delayed since most people are just looking for a better way to get the data into the program.
I haven't had a chance to make a new help file, so you guys will be on your own again for a while. The old link in the old thread will stay up incase people have problems with this new setup. So here is a run down of whats new so maybe everyone can figure it out...
1. You can now see both the ve tables and the equation constants from inside the program. From these visible tables you can cut and paste the data between the program, excel, hptuners, ect...
2. Only one VE Table and Equation constants set are kept in memory. If you Generate Equations from a VE Table, it will overwrite the Equation constants that are currently loaded. Same goes for the VE Table, the current one gets overwritten when you tell it to gen a table from the equations.
3. You can either open VE table and Equation data sets from the tab delimited text files or paste them strait in from HP Tuners. Most people will probally use the cut and paste, only using the internal file system for archiving and backups. I included several useful basemaps.
4. The text files now have the dedicated file extensions (.BVE and .BEQ). The internal data format is still about the same as it was with the table.txt and equation.txt. The only real difference is that the cylinder volume entry was moved from the equation to the ve table file, and is only present when the table data is in ve% format.
5. Yet more improvments to the equation generation algorithum for increase speed and accuracy.
6. When you change the ve table format it is dynamic. If your viewing the data is LS2 format and change to LS1 format, it automatically moves and rescales the data so that is relavent. So is the viewing of the data in GMVE or VE%
7. The ve table display has the appropriate histogram table axis setups at the bottom for easy creation of a histogram that matches the format.
8. The constant, map, rpm ect.. fields are oriented vertically inside the program so that they more easily fit on one page. Don't be alarmed, then are still treated horizontally when cut and pasted.
Here's the link, I've got to get back out in the shop or I'm going to get eaten by customers.
