VCM Scanner 2.25 Beta Now Available

VCM Controls for what vehicle?

lol, yes, there are far more important things than those suggestions..but they were all small/hopefully easy ones, so I doubt it would take long to do if they decide to use any of the ideas.

[Keith@HPTuners]

I don't think I used the built in one. I like to make things more difficult on myself.

Looks like there isn't a PLX in Lambda, so I did end up setting up the input and not using a built in one

This should be working in the next beta.

[Keith@HPTuners]

It's quite nice to be able to just double click on .hpl files again and they open up in 2.25 regardless of where they were made.

Alright--small suggestions from the peanut gallery:

-Add + / - button keyboard commands for zooming in and out on the charts vs. time view

-In graphs window, add a settings button to eliminate having to right click and go to graph properties or whatever it says every time I want to change anything. The button might could go beside the "view zoom data range only" button

-No scroll bars come up for the graph view if I make the window too small to fit the whole table in the window. Not sure if this is by design or not? It does move around as needed to show whatever cell is active when recording or reviewing a log so it's probably fine

I'll play more later. Need to get some work done.

+/- keys added to control zooming.

FYI: You can use the left and right arrows to step through the log at 1ms intervals, or hold cntrl + arrow to step through at 1 second intervals.

I don't like the idea of adding a short cut "layout" button to Graphs, because it wouldn't fit with Grauges and Charts. It could be confusing to new users.

In regards to the scroll bars on the graphs, this is by design.

[schpenxel]

Sounds good, I'll give the newly found zooming features a shot

VCM Controls for what vehicle?

2013 GT500 Mustang

Hey hold up! VCM controls comes next. lol

+1
Please add VCM controls, hopefully much more than 2.24

[RonSSnova]

How do I rearrange the view? I'd like to put the charts on top of the graphs.

You should specify what platform your asking for because they are working for GM already. Ford and Dodge never had controls in 2.24.

[Montecarlodrag]

Exactly

Click and hold on those little tabs that say Graph/Gauge/Plot vs Time and drag them around. They will drag/drop into different positions.

[RonSSnova]

Perfect. Thanks!

Mine won't move when I do that. Is this only when scanning? You can't move stuff around when reviewing the log?

[Keith@HPTuners]

You can move the displays around at any time.

Same with opening/saving layouts.. can be done at any time.

Still don't like the docked style of the 2.25 layout, there was nothing wrong with the window layout of 2.24. The 2.25 layout would be better if you could pin anything docked to an edge as Auto-Hide like the Channels can be. The whole interface feels very clumsy not being able to shuffle things around freely or at least have a more inclusive Auto-Hide. I don't quite understand why Channels is off doing it's own thing either and isn't movable like the other tabs/windows.

[Andy@A&A]

When I do that I get a nice little red circle with a line through it.

[Keith@HPTuners]

Move it around a little further around the VCM Scanner application. It will show you where you can move it to.

Let's say you have channels, gauges, and graphs on the screen. If you grab the tab that says graphs and drag it into the gauges window, you should see a + shaped pop up. Those are the dock locations. Drag over one of those and it will snap to the indicated location. They don't drag like windows, its all snap-dock stuff.

[Andy@A&A]

I have another one.
I have a graph that logs MAF Hz vs. LTFT. If I start at the left side of the graph and want to look at something like 7000HZ , I highlight the graph and move the cursor off to the right. The graph starts moving to the left and higher numbers to the right become visible. This makes sense. I was going to time how long it took to move from 0Hz to12,000Hz but I gave up after 30 seconds. It was only up to about 8500 Hz. at that point. SLOW is an understatement.
Also if I'm looking at a fuel trim number in the 6000Hz box and I want to see what the count is at that point, it goes back to the left and starts over. when I hit the "C" Then I have to scroll back to the right again to get back to the 6000Hz. Hell, by the time I've gotten back there some 15 or 20 seconds later I've forgotten what box I was looking at altogether. What is the fix for this?
In 2.24 you could be looking at a section of the Histogram and change from A to C to L etc. without moving the graph and having to start over.

[Sparkey]

For reasons beyond me they intentionally omitted scroll bars, so your fix is to make the window larger. If that isn't enough, you are sorta SOL.
