If you don't have a Serial option, you have to pick from the job list for your ECU.
There are a few engines that you can save profiles for, but they are the newer engines (none of ours).
The macros that I wrote are for the data produced when all the S50 datasets are selected from the Serial options, so it won't work on any others without amendment.
You will need to write down the list of jobs that you want to record (this will ensure dataset consistency for the macro). I suggest that you experiment with different numbers of datasets as you want to get as much information as possible, but downloading too much will reduce the sample rate.
Sample rate can become a problem in any sampling program, not just TestO. I found that if I downloaded too many items, the data was not updated quickly enough to be useful. The data was updated every 7 seconds if I downloaded everything!!! This meant that I couldn't analyse things like VANOS or Air Mass - a lot can happen in 7 seconds between throttle being pressed and air mass result being read
.
I managed to get sensible information by only downloading the minimum for each thing I wanted to test. For instance, if I wanted to test VANOS, I would only download RPM, Inlet (Target), Inlet (Actual), Exhaust (Target) and Exhaust (Actual). Experience will tell you what you need.
The great advantage of the non-Serial lists is that there are many more jobs on the list to choose from.
The macro can be amended to suit your dataset list. I can help if you have any problems doing this.
