Configuration editor

The configuration editor is used for generating the configuration file, needed for ECU Data and Tools.

Notes​

UDS

If the source module for a parameter uses the UDS protocol, contact us to help you with the configuration.

KWP blocks

If the source module for a parameter uses the KWP protocol, the Block and Index match with the numbers found in diagnostic software.

Decimals

Input fields for numbers with decimals only accept a point (.) and not a comma (,)!

Optional step​

If you already have a configuration file that you would like to edit, press the Edit a previous configuration button at the top of the page and choose the file.


Old version

If you see the message The configuration must be updated to a newer version, you will be redirected to another page where the configuration file will be updated.

Press the Load the old configuration file button and select the file.


Select your target version from the drop-down list.

Press the Download the new configuration file button and the updated file will be downloaded.


You can now go back and edit the file.

Step 1: Change settings​


In the first section you will see a drop-down list of options for changing the way to select something in a menu.

Select = hold Up/Down

To select an option in a menu, hold the Up or Down button.

Quick scroll

In this mode, it is possible to navigate quickly by holding Reset and Up/Down at the same time.

Select = hold Reset

Quick scroll

In this mode, it is possible to navigate quickly by holding Up/Down.

Step 2: Choose included tools​


Enabling tools

In the first section you will see a drop-down list of tools you can enable.

To enable a tool, select it and check the Enabled checkbox.

When a tool is enabled, you can configure it with the options that appear under Configure included tools.

Acceleration timer tool​

Menu: Acceleration

Settings

Choose from which module/location to get the current vehicle speed in km/h.

Oil level gauge tool​

Menu: Oil level

Settings

Choose from which module to get the current oil level and oil temperature.

Choose from which location to get the current oil level in mm.

Choose from which location to get the current oil temperature in °C.

Choose the correct oil level Min/Max values for your car, to display the level properly.

Engine mileage tool​

Menu: Mileage

Settings

Choose from which module/location to get the current mileage in km.

Input a Mileage offset value, which will be subtracted from the odometer mileage to obtain the engine mileage.

OpenHaldex tool​

Menu: OpenHaldex

Step 3: Choose modules for ECU data​


Maximum parameters

The ECU Data menu can show parameters from a maximum of 5 KWP and 5 UDS modules in total.

Here, you will choose from which modules you want to read parameters.

Slots

You have 5 slots for each protocol, and the order of the modules doesn't matter. It is also not a problem to leave empty slots.

Example

If you want to get parameters from the Engine (KWP), AWD (KWP) and Transmission (UDS):

  • In the KWP column select the number 1 and module 01 - Engine.
  • In the KWP column select the number 2 and module 22 - AWD.
  • In the UDS column select the number 1 and module 02 - Auto Trans.

Step 4: Configure ECU data​


Here, you will configure each page for the ECU Data menu.

Notes

When starting a new configuration (not editing a previous configuration), the first page and first parameter will be created.

Each page can have a title (optional, can be left empty) and between 1-5 parameters.

Each parameter can have a name (example: Oil) and measurement units (example: mm), but they are optional and can be left empty.

Pages​


  1. To change the page's title, write something in the text box (or leave empty for no title).
  2. To add a new page, press the + button.
    • When you have more pages, pressing the button will "insert" a new one right after the currently selected page.
    • To add the page at the end, you have to first select the last page and then press +.
  3. To delete the currently selected page, press the - button.
    • You cannot undo after deleting!
  4. To select another page (after adding more), press the box with the page number and select another one.
  5. To change some settings for the page, use the checkboxes.
    • Aligned units - enabling this will align all values and units to each other, instead of aligning them to the right edge of the screen
    • Bar at bottom - enabling this will move the additional bar (title/page counter/connection indicator) from the top to the bottom

Parameters​


  1. To change the parameter's name, write something in the text box (or leave empty for no name).
  2. To change the parameter's measurement units, write something in the text box (or leave empty for no measurement units).
    • To insert the degree symbol (°) for the measurement units, write the letters "deg", they will be replaced.
    • If you don't want "deg" to be replaced, write "\deg".
    • If you want "\deg", write "\\deg".
    • Example: for °C, write "degC" in the measurement units text box.
  3. To add a new parameter to the page, press the + button.
    • When you have more parameters, pressing the button will "insert" a new one right after the currently selected parameter.
    • To add the parameter at the end, you have to first select the last parameter and then press +.
  4. To delete the currently selected parameter, press the - button.
    • You cannot undo after deleting!
  5. To select another parameter (after adding more), press the box with the parameter number and select another one.

Parameter source​


Here, you will select from which module/location the current parameter is read.

Value display​

Mode: Exact value​


note

The parameter will be displayed exactly like in diagnostic software.

The Decimals drop-down selects how many digits are shown after the decimal point (0 for no decimal point).

Forced value

For the KWP protocol, some parameters will be displayed as text instead of numbers. If you need these parameters to be shown as numbers instead of text, check the Forced value checkbox.

You can use this feature to find the value which corresponds to a certain text, if you need the Custom text mode (explained below).

The Forced value checkbox will have no effect for UDS modules.

Mode: Mapped value​


note

The parameter's value will be mapped to a range.

The Decimals drop-down selects how many digits are shown after the decimal point (0 for no decimal point).

To add a number to the value before mapping, enter this number in the Offset box (can be negative for subtraction).

The next section contains the map:

  • In Min will be transformed to Out Min.
  • In Max will be transformed to Out Max.
  • Every value between In Min and In Max will be scaled between Out Min and Out Max.
Limits

To prevent the value from going lower than Out Min, check the Limit checkbox on the same row as Min.

To prevent the value from going higher than Out Max, check the Limit checkbox on the same row as Max.

Example

To display a "Boost" parameter, you should first subtract the atmospheric pressure (~1000 mbar) and then transform from mbar to bar.

  1. Write -1000 in the Offset box to subtract the atmospheric pressure (or write another number closer to your pressure).
  2. Write 0 for In Min and Out Min, 1000 for In Max and 1 for Out Max. Now it is converted from mbar to bar (division by 1000).
  3. Check the Limit checkbox on the same row as Min. Now the value can not become negative if the input is less than atmospheric pressure, but it can become more than 1 if the input is more than 1000.
  4. Select the number of decimals according to preference.

Mode: Custom text​

note

Instead of showing a value, you can set your own custom text based on the parameter's value.

All number inputs for the conditions only accept whole numbers, without decimals.

Condition: If value / if not value​

info

If the parameter is equal to Value, it displays the first text (If value).

If the parameter is not equal to Value, it displays the second text (If not value).

Condition: If inside / outside range​

info

If the parameter is between Min/Max, it displays the first text (Inside).

If the parameter is lower than Min or higher than Max, it displays the second text (Outside).

Condition: If below / inside / above range​

info

If the parameter is lower than Min, it displays the first text (< min).

If the parameter is between Min/Max, it displays the second text ([min, max]).

If the parameter is higher than Max, it displays the third text (> max).

Example

You get the oil pressure status from the Instrument Cluster (KWP), which appears as text (Oil Pr. 2 <min / Oil Pr. 2 OK), but you want to convert it to just <min / `OK``.


  1. In Value display, select the Exact value mode and check the Forced value checkbox to transform the text into a number, then save this configuration and upload it.
  2. You see that Oil Pr. 2 OK has become the number 31.
  3. Edit the configuration, and now in Value display select the Custom text mode, and the If value / if not value condition.
  4. Write the number 31 for Value and the text OK in the first box and <min in the second box, then save this configuration and upload.
  5. Now the custom text is displayed.

Value warning​

Here, you can configure a warning mode, for example if a parameter's value is outside normal limits.

note

When a warning is triggered, the parameter's value (number/text) starts flashing until the error disappears.

All number inputs only accept whole numbers, without decimals.

Mode: Disabled​


note

No warning for this parameter.

Mode: If exact value​


note

The warning will be triggered if the parameter's value is the same as what you selected.

Mode: If not exact value​


note

The warning will be triggered if the parameter's value is not the same as what you selected.

Mode: If inside range​


note

The warning will be triggered if the parameter's value is between the Min/Max you selected.

Mode: If not inside range​


note

The warning will be triggered if the parameter's value is not between the Min/Max you selected.

Example

In the previous example with the oil pressure, if you want to get a warning when it becomes <min, you can set the mode to If not exact value and write the number 31 for Value.

Graph parameters​

Here, you can configure the default values that are applied when you select a parameter to graph.

Graph menu

You can also modify these in the Graph>Configure menu, but setting them here will make it easier.

You can also input decimal values here, whereas you can only use integer numbers in the menu.

warning

If you access a decimal value in the menu, it will be rounded to an integer number.

The decimal value will remain applied as long as you don't access it in the menu.

  • Bottom - the lowest value the graph can show
  • Top - the highest value the graph can show
  • Rate - how quickly to plot points (measured in milliseconds)

Inverted graph

If Bottom has a higher value than Top, the graph will be inverted.

Rate

Parameters are read from the module as quickly as possible; Rate only changes how fast new points are plotted.

Example

Setting Bottom to 0, Top to 1000 and Rate to 150 means the graph will show values between 0-1000 and a new point will be drawn every 150ms.

Step 5: Download​

After everything is configured, press the Download the current configuration button at the bottom of the page.


The CANFIS_config.bin file will be downloaded, please save it to your device.

Renaming

You are allowed to rename the configuration file. Please don't modify the extension, it must be .bin.
