Can you build us a Date utility that when run reads a txt file and sets the date to something a bit closer so that it doesn't take a hundredsomthing clicks to set the date?

Thanks,

just go into utilities and click gps signal, it will set the date from the gps automatically.although you do have to wait a while, I can make it always auto set from gps on load.

When browsing logs, I am able to find things from "last tuesday" much easier if the date is set, than just by numeric sequence.

Excellent product, I am looking forward to the 2.4 release.

whooot!

Got the v2.4 update working with my settings and gauge templates migrated over tonight.

Still waiting for an easier way to set the Date/Time - it is actually faster to click through the months 108+ times than wait on the GPS to sync.

A while back I asked for a way to place a button on my gauge template with an action to "Mark Log" any chance of getting that functionality?

What all is required to get the DLP IO-8 logging inputs to my EvoScanGPS? How does the USB cable plug into the gpsnav unit? I would love to start logging Oil and Fuel pressure. (hmmmm, what to do with the other 6 inputs? wow turbo back pressure, trans temp, engine oil temp, still three left

)

Thanks for the Kick-@ss products,
John-

EvoScanPPC v2.4 Released www.evoscan.com/gpsnav

• Fixed: The circular bar gauges aren't displaying values (last was working v2.1) fixed now.

• Added a few updated gauge templates, Added a few more circular gauges to the GTR gauges.

• Fixed: EvoX datalogger gets stuck when turning the vehicle off in the middle of datalogging.

• Added: "evoxecureset" ActionButton, edit the gauge template txt file manually (because I haven't added it in the GaugeDesigner ActionButton dropdown yet). This gauge button will reset EvoX ECU learned fuel trims, you press this button during datalogging on the gauge screen, and then the next time the Vehicle Key is cycled (off/on) you will see that the trims are reset.

ActionButton,evoxecureset,GaugeParts\Close.png,evo xecureset,139,221,35,37,0,0,,

• Hold EvoScan logo top right to soft reset the device (required once for EvoX/op2 drivers after a cold boot.)

• Click EvoScan logo top right to easily open the Gauges screen

• Has faster loading times. (now uses ini style setting txt files instead of slower xml files)

• SST Gearbox Temperature for EvoX fixed, no longer slows the logging down.

• Has Gauge Flip Option for Heads Up Display (HUD) on your windshield. Special TIP: Use a piece of tint film to reduce the double reflection caused by the thickness off the windshield glass.

• Added Evo4/5/6 AYC support.

• Added Evo4/5/6 ABS support.

• Added Evo7/8/9 ACD datalogging. (using openport 1.3D/R/U cable)

• FIXED: Openport2 and InvalidCastException error when a wideband was selected but not attached at the moment.

• Added new openport 2.0 driver for EvoX datalogging. Better openport 2.0 responsiveness. (sorry after a cold boot start openport 2.0 evoX owners still need to do a soft reset by holding the evoscan logo image down, I can't get around this unless someone knows how to edit the XIP rom file to include the dll and registry setting)

• Added "Signed" data xml option to the EvoX Openport 2.0 datalogging, some MUTIII CAN readings are Signed Integers.

• Added auto scroll the main screen data item selection list when press-and-hold the down or up arrows.

• Added support for DLP IO-8 channel 0-5v Analogue to Digital USB adapter. Just add the dlp lines to your data.xml file, I have added them to the MUTII section, but you can copy them down to your EvoX ecu section of the data.xml file if you like.

Quote:

• SPECIAL TIP #1: Click the EvoScan logo to display Gauges.
• SPECIAL TIP #2: Click AND HOLD the EvoScan logo to reset the device, useful when the usb hub or usb port is frozen. reset bootup time is only a few seconds on these devices. (sorry there is no easy way to auto start EvoScanPPC.exe on boot up, I've tried heaps)
• SPECIAL TIP #3: There are a lot usb hubs that don't come out of standby properly or don't work at all. if you have problems with your usb hub, replace it with the cheapest usb hub you can find. the cheaper ones seem to be more usb specification compliant.

• SPECIAL TIP #4: The length of the USB data cable can affect reliability, try and remove any mini usb extension cords or usb hubs if you are having any connectivity problems. (the usb car charger power cable, and CAN extension cable can be of any length)
• SPECIAL TIP #5: If you get any of the strange windows ce error messages or dialogs popup, just hold down the EvoScan logo to reset the device. e.g, Communications Error, Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Remote Networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 608).
• SPECIAL TIP #6: For openport 2.0/EvoX if you don't get any connection even after you have held down the EvoSCan logo and soft reset the device, then just pull the miniusb cable from the side of the gpsnav briefly and put it back in, this will reset the usb. and it will work straight away.

DLP IO8 Analogue 0-5volt inputs add these to your data.xml (already by default for Evo7/8/9) for EvoX add the following lines to your mode23 section in the \EvoScanPPC\DataSettings\data.xml

How do we get the OP8 USB port connected to the GPSNAV unit? I read in the release notes for v2.4:

Is it as simple as using a USB hub to hook in the openport 1.3U GPSNAV and OP8? (and the XML and config file changes)

Thanks,

Yeah, just DLPIO8 just plugs into the USB hub, and the EvoScan GPS Navigator will pick it up, and datalog the analogue 0-5v sensors.
