If you look in the display pages, you'll see the error codes displayed as a '1' if they have been identified. However, there is not an active page which will preferentially display what codes have been set.
There will be revisions in the not-too-distant future, and that will be included.
So can I abandon the 160-baud stuff now that someone else has software for it? Let me know.
So, what should the new revision include? Let's see:
1) Display and allow reset of codes
2) Display IAC counts etc on summary screen
3) Show MAP value in kPa
4) Try & simplify serial routines to make them more robust, giving control of port power & such
5) No addition of support for WinME/2000/NT/etc planned, DOS-based character will stand.
Really running out of ideas for bells & whistles. Maybe a help file with FAQs?
Any other thoughts? The first three items are very quick & easy. The 5th is defacto. The 4th could be some fun...

As I believe the great people who brought us the pocket programmer put it, "avoid windows ME like the plague" I'd say your dos version is great, especially since im sure alot of people are using the 486 ebay special laptops for this.
As far as things to change, i haven't used it nearly enough yet to tell you. I do have one thing to say though.
THANKS!!!

1) Reading log files, maybe so. Might be able to write a little routine to let ya pull up variables and plot em versus time or each other. Or just the data, either way. Probably restrict the function to only the most critical variables.
2) Could do some b@st@rdization of digital dash. That's so frilly though...
Anyways, anything's possible.

Ok, I'm going to risk sounding like a fool since I've used this one day. But
If it doesn't already, maybe something to tell you the mode? learn diag road test etc???
If it hass it sorry

I would like to see the priority on functionality rather than aesthetics however if you have time and funding limitations.
Thanks for listening.
