ECU Status Window
The ECU status window displays the current status of a connected ECU and any messages the occur during the connection process. This could be anything to conformation of a calibration upload to security checks.
By default the ECU status window is displayed at the bottom of the screen, but can be accessed again if removed from the menu .
The status window may be suppressed from displaying automatically when connecting by setting the ‘Suppress ECU status popup’ property in the general settings ( > General) .
Explanation of some messages
- Parity error - Is caused by the slight errors in the data received. May occur when ECU is switched off. If some are appearing but the ECU is still connected, it suggests that there is some noise on the communications cable. Either try another cable or move cable away from other electrical equipment. If multiple Parity Errors are being shown and the ECU is not connected, this suggests you connection settings are incorrect.
- Framing error - Similar to Parity error.
- Error: Rx Timeout - PC has stopped receiving communications from the ECU. Can occur if the ECU is switched off whilst connected.
- ECU is not securable - The connected ECU does not have the ability to enable a password on the uploaded calibration.
