SManager Features, Bugs and Problems

[PH_B16-VTi]

Features:
To-Lean-Under-Boost Cut - Incase of Indjection error, Tuner error or DIY Tuners. Being able to set the psi/mbar value and max lambda value for cut. (I see it's posted before but still very handy.)

Bugs:
1: If you open a file File->Open temp1.skl and close, rename it to final.skl. Go to File->Reopen temp1.skl. You get somekind of random map as the file temp1.skl no longer exists. I forgot that I had renamed the file an when I was in my car I reopend and had realtime upload active and car got cel and stalled. Lukily I was only barely moving so nothing happend to the engine.
2: This one is hard to explain, in Tables the load value in the first colum says 127mbar and 10'th col says 0.5psi. As I tweek my maps all the time, I notice that some of the col change in value (decrease). So after - let say - maby 10times of opening and making small changes to fuel table, the 9'th col value org. 986 has become 956mbar. and I have to set the value back to 986. This only happens to some cols. as I have never seen col 1 and 10 change.
3: As I am located in eurpoe, the windows versions we have, have some other non-US international settings, and the diffrent is we type 1.000,00 and not 1,000.00 (Notice the comma and thousund seperators). So if we don't set the international settings to US before running smanager the skl files we save get messi. Example is "Row0=18.5,18.5,18.5,18.5,.........." would be saved "Row0=18,5,18,5,18,5,18,5,................." And we'll be totaly humped the next time we open this file....

Problems:
1: I can't get the datalog, graph or sensor table to show what gear I'm in. Allways showing 5'th gear. Is there anything else than the gear ratio in Parameters->Gear Comp I have to set to get this working? I have tried looking in forum, help file and in smanager without any luck. I'm running a JDM Honda Civic 1.6 VTi '97 (EK4) ODB2a, B16a2 org. motor (No Swap and never opend) for this car. ODB2a->ODB1 conversion harness, US P28 ECU and S300.

I just wanna say, Hondata is a great product and I'm very happy with it. This is just information I want to pass on to you, as you develop the software. And by no means am I unhappy with the S300.
BTW Problem 2 and 3 have not been tested in the version 1.1.6 as this has just been released.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback.

#1 - fixed.
#2 - there always is some quantization effect on fuel numbers as interally the ECU only uses an 8 bit number to store the fuel values. I have improved the load/save cycle so that the values will not creep over time.
#3 - changing my settings to use a comma as a decimal point makes no difference. Can you send a calibration file that has been saved with your settings?

The gear calulation just needs the speed, rpm and gear ratios. Send your calibration and I'll test it (could it be related to #3?)

Thanks for the reply,

#3, well I tried to put i back to my native language, and the problem seems no longer to exsist. This must have been in one of the older versions. Sorry about the inconvenience.

I'm currently running with a english version of windows with native regional and language settings, and maby it's was only in a danish windows version this problem accurs. I will check it out, if I get access to a danish version.

I have attached the calibration file, regarding the gear settings problem.

Gear works ok with your settings. In the sensors window check that the sensor range for gear is 1 to 5

[PH_B16-VTi]

In sensor window, gear sensor display min: 0 max: 5, but allways displaying 5 when datalogging/recording.
Speed and rpm are working.

[Spunkster]

Is it properly displaying speed in the datalogs though, not just the cluster?

[PH_B16-VTi]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think it looks ok. If I select a area in graph window the display and sensor show all the right information except gear. and when datalogging live it show the same as my gauges.

Try to have a look at this recording. If you get gear shift on screen, I'm missing something.

And here are the .ini files on how my smanager is setup.

Have allways run on english/US settings, as the problem #3 gave me no choice when I started using smanager. But this is not a problem any more.

Gear works ok with your settings. In the sensors window check that the
sensor range for gear is 1 to 5

Done this. I've tried all that I can think of and it dosen't seem to make any difference.

What do you mean by 'cluster', I have attached datalog and .skl file so you can see if it's ok.

As I'm the only one in my country to have a fully adjustible system, I have made every thing myself, and this is the only problem I have not been able to sort out. I hope you guys have any other suggestions to give me, this is very strange....

Thanks for the help so far Hondata and Spunkster.

Indeed the gear is stuck in 5th The problem is that once the gear is calculated, changing the ratios will not effect the gear stored in the datalog. I'm adding the ability to recalculated the gear based on the ratios for the next version.

[oscarmayer]

how long till next version is set to be out?

[PH_B16-VTi]

When I turn key on IGN (Engine Off), press F10 -dataloggin- the sensor say gear: 5. Every thing else ok. Is that correct?

Hondata: Recalculate is a smart, but no matter what gear ratio I pick or if I manual type the ratio when I press F10 or F9 it says I'm in 5th gear.
