This window contains on its left-hand part the list of the available signals (Inputs/Outputs and displays). On the right-hand side, it is possible to choose the color of the curve associated with the chosen signal, and to select the display range of the curve. Predefined display ranges are proposed by default (0..5V for an analogical input, 0..100% for a display whose unit is the percentage...). However, it is possible to choose another display range. It is also possible to type in the desired display range.

Once your choices are made, you can click on "OK" to return to the graphics screen.

A new line has appeared in the table. You can see in it the channel color you just have chosen, the name of the selected signal, its unit.

The check mark on the left of the line (A) allows to display (or not) the curve. This function is useful when several curves are simultaneously displayed on screen, and when you want to focus on one or some of these curves.

The check mark on the right of the line (B) allows displaying the scale for the selected channel. If two channels (or more) use the same unit and the same range of display, it is thus possible to display only one scale for these different channels.

You can remove a channel from the list by selecting the corresponding line in the table and then using the "-" button (C) on the left of the table.

You can edit a channel by double clicking its line in the table.

To start the curves record, you just need to push the Record button (D).

(D)

Command buttons

This button allows you to start and stop data recording.

With the cross tool you can browse in the curve. Click on the curve and make it slip horizontally and/or vertically. You can also browse in the curve by using the vertical and horizontal scrollbars (it is not necessary to select the cross tool to use the scrollbars).

The position tool displays, on the left-hand part, a vertical segment for each curve displayed. Click on the extremity of one of these segments, and then move it, to define the height of the curve concerned.Click on the middle of one of these segments, and then move it, to define the vertical position of the curve concerned.You can double click on the extremity of the segment to make the size of the curve fit the top/bottom of the graphic. You can also double click elsewhere on the segment to make the curve use the whole height of the graphic.This function is useful to organize the position of the curves and thus facilitate their interpretation.

21/06/2016 17


The zoom tool allows zooming on the curve.Select this tool, then click on the curve and move the mouse while maintaining the button pressed to define the new displaying window. As soon as you release the button of the mouse, the curve is displayed again according to the newly defined window.You can make multiple zooms to be more accurate. You can then go back to the previous zooming level by right clicking on the graphic. The same way, you can make multiple unzooms.You can also use the mouse wheel at any time to zoom or unzoom.

The cursor tool displays on the curve a cross (a cursor) which follows the mouse. When the mouse moves, the cursor displays the value you pass on. While clicking then moving the mouse, a second cursor is displayed with its values. The difference between these two cursors is also displayed, horizontally in seconds and vertically according to the curve's unit.The cursor takes the color of the nearest curve.

The sample tool displays a small circle on each sampled point. This function is useful to differentiate the sampled points from the interpolated points (between two sampled points).

The Magnet tool enables the Cursor tool to stick to the nearest curve. When the Magnet tool is selected, you are sure that the displayed value is the curve's one.When the cursor is positioned on a real point (corresponding with a sample), the cursor highlights this point, enabling you to make the difference with an interpolated point (between two sampled points).When the Magnet tool is not selected, the cursor moves freely under the mouse.

The Background color tool allows choosing the background color of the curves between white and black. This function allows making curves more readable according to the lighting conditions (outside, in particular).

The scrollbars at the right and at the bottom allow browsing in the curve.It is possible to move in the curve by clicking on the middle of a scrollbar, or to modify only one tip of the scrollbar. Then, you obtain a zoom effect.Double-click on a scrollbar to give it its maxima values. This ensures that the whole vertical or horizontal range is displayed.

Erase curves tool allows to reset curve's data. Channels configurations remain unchanged.After erasing curves, it is possible to start a new recording immediately. The scale of time sets out again to zero. Non-visible curves are also erased.This command does not erase any file.

The Copy tool allows copying the curve such as displayed on screen to the clipboard. If a zoom is selected, the curve copied in the clipboard will consider this zoom. Then, you can paste the curve in any software accepting the "metafile" clipboard format.

The printer tool allows printing the curve.If a zoom is selected, the printed curve will consider this zoom.

The Save tool allows to save the curves displayed on this screen.The file has a GPH extension.A non-visible curve (which visibility check mark is not selected) is also saved. Information from the other screens such as parameters, for example, is not saved. If a zoom is applied, the points non visible on screen will be also saved. When opening the file, the zoom window will be restored. This is useful to highlight a phenomenon, before saving the file and sending it to an expert. It is not necessary to have the configuration associated with the software to open a GPH file again.

Errors display

This screen displays current unresolved errors in tabular form (upper table) and confirmed errors (lower table) from the ECU since it was last purged by clicking on [Purge].The data in these tables cannot be modified.

Each line in the table reflects a particular error event identified by its error code, time counter and description.

Sending a parameter file to the SD ECU

This procedure sends a parameter file that is created or backed up on the PC to the SD ECU (see “Receiving a file from the SD ECU to the PC”, page 22 or “Modifying a parameter file”, page 24).

Proceed as follows:



•Click on [Select parameter file] in the upper block.

• In the opened window select the “.ctx” extension file to be sent and click on [Send a parameter file to the SmartDrive]. File name appears on the screen.

• Click on [SEND >>]. The window with a bar of progress is diplayed (see oposite).

N.B.: It is possible to set the program to automatically switch to desired

module and/or play a sound after finishing the download process in the

progress bar window.

• Do not switch off the Electronic Control Unit until the download window is closed.

If the sending process is interrupted([Cancel] button) the SD will contain partly original values and partly values from the parameter file. This may lead to unstable state of the machine.

Managing the SD ECU parameter files

When the parameters have been transferred into a PC file you can view the parameters, modify them and create a new parameter file.

• In the opened window, enter the name of the saving file (extension ”.ctx” is added automatically during the saving process), select the folder to store the file and then click on [Save].

• The received file can then be consulted (see “Consulting a parameter file”, page 23).

''Receive parameters' allows copying the exact content of the parameters memory to a file. This file includes only the parameters, calibration va-lues and stored errors. It doesn´t include the current errors, nor the inputs/outputs, nor the displays.

Consulting a parameter file

This operation enables you to view a parameter file.

Proceed as follows:


• Click on [Open] in the lower block.

• In the opened window select the “.ctx” extension file to be sent and click on [Open parameter file].

• In the side menu barclick on {Customize}.

• In the customize module it´s possible to view the desired parameters in tabular form.

Modifying a parameter file

This operation is used to modify a parameter file which has been already transferred to the PC.

Proceed as follows:

• Open the parameter file which is to be changed (see the

previous section for the details).


• Choose the parameter from the collapsible menu, click on the value to be changed, type in the new value and press <Enter>.

• To store new values in the parameter file, click on [Save as] and/or click on [Print] to print them.

N.B.: A specific file name and path may be assigned to the parameter file

when saving the values with [Save as].

Modifying and transferring the parameters directly with the SD ECU connected

This procedure enables you to receive SD ECU parameters, modify them and then send them straight back to the SD ECU.

Proceed as follows:

• Check that the SD ECU is correctly connected to the PC;


• Choose the desired category.

• Modify the parameters in the table by clicking on the Value column, then typing in the new value. After typing each new value, press the <Enter> key. The modified line remains highlighted in yellow.

• To transfer these new values to the SD ECU (lines highlighted in yellow), click on [Send >>].

• To store the displayed values in a parameter file, click on [Save as] and/or click on [Print] to print them.
