All right, folks! 

The new YourDyno software version is finally available, version 3.3.50. It is a big release with lots of new features and improvements, so make sure to do the upgrade when you have some quiet time without customers hanging over your shoulder. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9DweL6MdTE

Changes: 

• Support for different output types, including throttle and other controls
• Improved setup for brake settings, with quick selection of default settings for different brake control types
• Support for Sequencer. A sequencer is a table with time, target RPM, throttle and other channels that you can play back. You can define it manually, or let your ECU record a lap of a circuit and import this into the sequencer
• Lots of new features on the gauges:
  • Support for Bar gauges, both horizontal and vertical
  • Support for Group gauges, where a group of channels can be combined into one gauge. An example would be 8 of EGTs, 2 or 4 brake values, 8 Lambdas, etc. 
  • More options on the gauge colors. Now you can set the background, foreground and indicator colors, to easily differentiate between the gauges
  • Support for different aspect ratios of gauges (tall or wide, not just square). This is nice in particular for Digital gauges and Bar gauges
  • Better alignment between the gauges
• Support for alarms. Gauges will blink so an alarm condition is very easy to see
• Support for Brake during retardation. This is a good feature for dynos with a lot of inertia, to speed up the retardation phase
• CAN bus outputs are now enabled
• New brake mode: Brake vs RPM. You can define a brake curve vs RPM. This is a "simple" brake mode, but very good when the dyno has a bit of inertia. The brake will slow down the acceleration and make for a very natural sweep
• A number of small bug fixes and improvements

You MUST download new firmware to use this new software. Some USB extender cables must be removed during the firmware upgrade, so try direct connection if the upgrade fails. 

As always, any issues, let me know! 

@matteozanusso, thanks if you can send your options file to me and I can try to reproduce that crash. Go to this folder location: 
%localappdata%\Fonneland_Engineering_AS then navigate to 3.3.40 and send me (jostein@yourdyno.com) the file called options.config.

The Manual mode is different now. The brake can now be ramped up towards the Manual RPM set point. Once it reaches the RPM set point, the PID regulation starts automatically. If you click Manual start then it records data, but even before then regulation is active. The ramp up is very useful so the engine is nicely loaded by the time you reach the RPM set point. Earlier it tended to overshoot since the engine was unloaded until the start RPM, even if you turned the brake on manually. 

Hi,

tested lastest beta software last week,

it crashes after a dyno run, in the moment when the max power/torque popup must appear.

downgraded and wverything is working again as usual.

PS: in manual mode, isn't the brake on/of tab there anymore? it was usefull

thanks

@admin Thanks for the reply and explanation Jostein.  They are indeed the same run, but with different numbers for Internal Dyno Losses.  I'm trying to calibrate my dyno to get the same results as a particular bike is getting on a Dynojet 250i runnin Winpep 8, which is pretty much the motorcycle standard here in the USA.  That way my data can be compared more accurately to other tuner's dynos.

Newer software versions store more data before and after the run in the raw file because it needs more data due to an internal change. That is the reason it stops short when loading an old .log file. This does not affect reading a csv file, only raw logs. You should normally save runs in csv files, the raw logs are more to do there-and-then adjustments.

The RPM is still correct though. The two runs that are shown in the graph do not look like they are the same run. If they are then something is different in the configuration from when the run was made and the current config.

You can see in the table view how it just stops at 5500??

Working on some internal dyno loss adjustments, and found the software no longer correctly inputs drum RPM and thus engine RPM when loading a Raw Log File.  Gear ratio is correct, but it always shows the run about 1000 RPM short.  Here is a shot of the original run loaded from the CSV vs the RAW DATA log file.  I uninstalled and installed an old version of the software, and it works just fine in the older version.  Am I missing something? 

Folks,

YourDyno version 3.3.40 is available. It fixes the issue in version 3.3.39 that it would not remember the brake setup.

Cheers

Hi folks. 3.3.39 has an issue that it the brake control jumps to PWM if it was set to Stepper every time you restart YourDyno. You can set it back to Stepper manually of course, but I will fix asap.

Tuners!

YourDyno software version 3.3.39 was released today. 

Changes:

• Ability to turn on and off the live table. Just right click on it and press Close to remove it. Right click and tick the Live results table to bring it back
• The way the brake is turned on/off in Manual mode is changed. Previously there was a tick box to turn it on and off. This is now removed and it follows the logic of the other brake modes: Once you reach the auto start RPM it turns on, or you can turn it on manually by starting the Run before reaching the start RPM if you prefer
  • For Manual RPM control mode, the auto start RPM will follow the set target RPM
  • For Manual Direct brake %  mode the auto start/stop RPMs are set manually
• Ramp up Brake functionality now also works for Manual brake mode and Brake Off mode. Ramp up brake together with Manual mode with direct control of the brake is particularly interesting. In cases where there is quite high inertia, you may want to just add a static brake % to slow the RPM rise down.  This will be a very smooth run and can now be done with a controlled ramp up and auto start
• The functionality to use the brake to slow down the RPM after a completed run had a bug in some brake modes. This is fixed.
• The message "YourDyno not responding correctly, please disconnect and connect" is hopefully fixed now. If not, let me know! It never happens on my setups so hard to know if it is fixed. In any case, if it happens, do as the message says and it is ok. 

Enjoy!

Hi folks!

YourDyno software version 3.3.37 was released today. It has some nice features! 

Changes:

• A small configurable and movable table showing the value of all visible channels for all visible runs live when moving the mouse. Check out the video: https://youtu.be/jvm036H1DWw
• In addition to showing the data with colors, it gives ability to highlight channels, show max value, compare runs, etc
• Fixed a bug where it would wrongly show "Update firmware" if your decimal point was ","

Enjoy!

Hi there,

Thank you for the update! The introduction of YourDyno software version 3.3.34 seems like a significant step forward.

The addition of two new plugins sounds particularly interesting. The EMS5002 Gas Analyzer will undoubtedly help enhance the data analysis capabilities of the software. Likewise, the Delayed Channels plugin seems like a handy feature for examining changes over time in conjunction with Math channels.

I appreciate the changes that help with visualization as well, such as the simultaneous mouse cursor display slot777across all graph windows. It's those little details that make the user experience smoother and more intuitive.

The advancements made to the Secondary stepper motor control sound promising. I'm excited to explore these new functionalities under the brake setup.

Changes to the Advanced mode for Load control and Brake sweep should make these features more user-friendly and precise. I'm all for changes that enhance ease of use, so kudos for that!

It's reassuring to see the software handling the "Start ramp up brake RPM" issue. Fixes like this make me confident in the ongoing support and improvements to the software.

Thank you again for the updates. I'm eager to dive in and explore the new features of version 3.3.34. Keep up the great work!

@furntrattrene there is likely something wrong in your settings. Exit/kill YourDyno then go to the folder: %localappdata%\Fonneland_Engineering_AS and rename the folder there to YourDyno_backup or something similar. Start YourDyno again.

Don't click the "Run as administrator" option.

@admin Hello Jostein, 

I installed the new beta software today but it does not open it for me. With version 3.2.165 I have no problem opening it.

To be more specific when I press open nothing comes up, when I open the task manager I see that it is open in the background, when I tap open a second time it gives me the error "An instance of YourDyno is already running" but only in the background.

When I open it with Administrator it gives the error "No printers are installed" the printer is connected via the network.

Operating system Windows 10 Pro, version 22H2

Tuners,

YourDyno software version 3.3.35 was released today. Changes:

• Added live Aux channel value display in the Aux setup window. Practical when configuring Aux channels
• Fixed an issue where in certain cases no graphs would appear until you disconnected and connected the box
• Fixed an issue where a wrong/old configuration could cause channels not to update

Enjoy!
