Introducing the most powerful and advanced software available for your ELM interface!  This new and improved version of PCMSCAN™ crushes the competition.  PCMSCAN™ is an OBD-II diagnostic scantool that no vehicle owner should be without.  In a class by itself, this state-of-the-art software comes fully loaded with new features.  Here are just some of the things PCMSCAN™ can do for you:

-Find out the cause of your check engine light, look up trouble codes, and even turn off that annoying light and save a trip to the dealer.

-Test your car’s emissions readiness. 

-Monitor and log data for a variety of parameters.  View it with maps, gauges, tables, and graphs!  Pause, fast forward and rewind your log files.

-Check out the new drag strip feature!  The drag strip displays a countdown and timing light and measures your launch and reaction time.  At the end of your run, you get a timeslip with the stats from the run.

-If you use aftermarket performance parts, the new digital dyno feature will let you test horsepower and torque to measure their impact on your vehicle's performance-- just try out the dyno and see if those parts were worth the money!

-Customize your own high-resolution dashboard with our new DashXL™ technology!  If you own a CarPC, you’ll love the new DashXL™ system!  This system features the most customizable dashboard editor on the market!

-For the power users out there, PCMSCAN™ now has built-in Javascripting support to do custom calculations on OBD-II parameters and data.

Brian,

  This new version looks AWESOME!  I will definetly upgrade within the next few days.  A few questions:  will we be able to monitor tranny and air bag codes?

You cannot monitor transmission and air bag codes yet.

BTW - all your existing configuration files are incompatible with PCMSCAN v2.0. You will need to recreate them in the new software.

However, your existing log files will work just fine.

Brian,

  What about Air/Fuel ratio?  MPG?  Is that calculated with the new Javascript feature?

These can all be calculated using the new Javascript PID system. The possibilities are endless. You'll be able to change scaling, engineering units, etc. for every parameter by creating a custom script. Currently, we provide one example script that calculates fuel flow rate (using SAE.MAF). We'll add more example scripts in the future. We might also include scripts contributed by the forum users in future software releases.

I'll be posting up the full Javascript API documentation soon.

I decided to buy PCMSCAN last week and contacted a reseller. They told me to wait for version 2.0. The new version looks great and I'm glad I didn't buy an older version before november 1th  Smiley

Brian and others,

Great job, new version looks great. Very clever descion to allow for all kind of scripts. This will for sure add a lot of extra functionality (like opensource software) in the future.

Which FINAL DRIVE RATIO am I supposed to use for the Dyno?!  I know the final drive ratio of my vehicle is 3.77:1, however, when I use the calculator thats built-in, I get 4.20 when testing in 4th gear, and its different for every gear.

So which is accurate?

Does your vehicle have an automatic transmission? If so, that is most likely the reason you are getting the final drive ratio calculation that you're getting. You see, the torque converter allows for some extra slip, which gives you a different ratio.

If your vehicle is a manual, there is also another reason that could cause the difference you are seeing. The software samples RPM and Vehicle Speed and compares the samples to determine the ratio. Since the samples do not come in at exactly the same time, there could be some deviance because of that.

And, of course, the final drive ration will be different in every gear. Since every gear has a different gear ratio.

If you know the final drive ratio for the gear that you're using, it's always best to just type it in instead of having the software try to auto-calculate it for you.

i have a manual...which is why im so confused. Huh

my 4th gear ratio is 1.09:1 and the final drive ratio is 3.77:1

neither of these are close to the 4.20x that ive been getting.



EDIT:

maybe 1.09 * 3.77 = 4.1093  ---> might that be it? Cheesy

Yeah phuz, you're on the right track with that calculation.  I tried itin 2nd gear (2.05:1) and it calculated a FDR of 7.996 but doing the math of 2.05 * 3.77 = 7.7285

If you think about it you can't possibly use 3.77 unless you tell PCM Scan the ratio for each gear and then tell it what gear you're doing the Dyno run in.  Probably just easier to pick a gear and do the math.

I think we are simply misusing or confusing the term 'Final Drive Ratio', in the case of PCM Scan Dyno I think it should be called 'Actual Drive Ratio' or 'Current gear Drive Ratio' since most of the time Final Drive Ratio is the ratio for the differential at the driven wheels.

ps.  Phuz and I have the same car (Volvo S60R 6MT)
