The benefits of wireless connections are clear, no cables tying your laptop down, plus the cool factor. In the past for TunerStudio to work over Bluetooth required creating Virtual Comm Ports, unfortunately in Windows that has commonly been confusing, sometimes tedious and can vary with OS version. So to help everyone get to wireless as easily as possible and insure a very reliable connection we added something new.

Now TunerStudio supports direct Bluetooth Connectivity! 

No longer a need for creating Virtual Comm ports in windows. 

Paired Bluetooth Adpaters will be detected along with Comm Ports and D2XX when ever you detect, EFI Analytics BT Adapters will automatically be paired if still using the default pin. 

Direct Bluetooth works with BT Adapters talking to your MegaSquirt and Bluetooth GPS recievers, and yes both can work on Bluetooth at the same time.

Or in the Communications Settings, you can select you paired adapter:

If your Adapter is not Paired and not in the Bluetooth Device, you can pair it from right there in TunerStudio by clicking the "Pair New Adapter" button.

Then enter your PIN:

All set, ready to go with a wireless MegaSquirt and TunerStudio!

New for TunerStudio 3.0 all editions!

Download The TunerStudio Beta

MS2 and MS3 owners - No need for any command line utilities loaders. TunerStudio MS has a built in firmware loader with a few new bells and whistles. Such as automatically updating your ini file and restoring your tune!

You can optionally save a backup of your project before you begin, so if for any reason you want to return to your previous firmware you will have all your settings and TunerStudio project as a backup. 
Note: The Backup does not contain the firmware itself, you will need to make sure you have that firmware to restore it to the controller.

Using the normal TunerStudio Detect, you can find your controller and install the firmware over any connection type:

- Comm Port
- Direct Bluetooth
- D2XX
- TCP/IP or WiFi

Upon Finishing, TunerStudio will optionally restore all your Tune Settings.

Good bye to editing custom.ini files!  

Many of us have been there, you want to use a new fuel pressure sensor with your MegaSquirt. You have the data sheet for the sensor and a spare input. Or maybe you want a new field for your own tuning circumstances, a field based on a table lookup or a single bit.

They tell you no problem, MegaSquirt and TunerStudio support that! If your lucky enough to have an MS3 based ECU, you might be able to set it up without much trouble as a Generic Sensor, Great.

If that doesn't work for you, don't worry, a custom.ini file can get the job done! There is little you can't do in a custom.ini file for the hard core computer wizards, but it is like a programming language in itself.

With TunerStudio MS 3.0 that finally changes. The "Add Channel Wizard" and "Custom Channel Editor" remove the need to hand edit a custom.ini file ever again. Beeter yet, if you do have a custom ini already working, you can now edit OutputChannels, Gauge Templates and DataLog fields using nice simple user interfaces:

Add Channel Wizard

A simple 2 page wizard to add a new channel and setup how you want to view the data from the new Channel.

Page 1

The 1st page allows you to define the new Channel. If it is a typical sensor you are setting up, the simple view will likely be all you need. You can set it up as a Linear sensor by setting up the input channel(The Channel supplying the raw sensor value) and using 2 know conversion points.

If the sensor output is non-linear, you can set the input channel and supplying an inc file that maps the input values to the output values.

If you need something more complex, go to Advanced mode, now you can create your own custom expression using any of TunerStudio's built in functions and operations with any OutputChannle or calibration value used as inputs. There are table functions to perform table lookups on 1D and 2D tables along with smoothing functions and all the standard math functions.

Page 2

On Page 2 you select how you want to see your new Channel by createing a Gauge Template and/or a new DataLog field. Gauge Templates will show up on the right click menu of any dashboard allowing you to quickly change any gauge to display your new value. A DataLogField, will add your new field to be logged when ever you capture a normal datalog.

That is it, you have set up yout own custom channel that will now be part of your Project. 

But, if you want to keep going, you can add, remove, edit any of the custom channels you want using the Custom Channel editor.

Custom Channel Editor

The Custom Channel Editor gives you access to all your custom Channels, Gauges and Data Log Fields. Using this interface you can:

- Add Custom Channels

- Add Gauge Templates for custom or non custom channels

- Add DataLog Fields for custom or non custom channels

The tree on the left side will group and display all custom Channels, Gauge Templates and Data Log Fields. By Double Clicking on any tree node, the appropriate editor is brought up in the right hand work space.

Once you click the Save button, any change you made are applied real-time to your currently loaded project and will be saved to your custom.ini for the future.

Example usage

Example steps to add a data log channel to MS3 that will represent table 1 vs table 3 when doing table switching:

The new Tuning & Dyno views available in TunerStudio MS Ultra allow you to build your own views with pretty much any set of gauges and settings you want on a single tab. The Idea is you can build a tab for specific types of tuning or tuning activities. Build as many tabs as you wish with a specific purpose for each view. 

Much like the dashboards, there is a simple to use Designer Mode that is activated by right clicking or using the menu:
File --> Tuning Views --> Designer Mode
