Can i configure VEAL to begin tuning and then disconnect my laptop?
I have a small Samsung notebook with a SSHDD using Win XP I use for all mobile tuning but for some reason, TS (Vers 3.0.05) keeps "hanging" despite disabling any power options on the laptop. I do have another much larger laptop with no problems but the battery life is too short to make it useful for [prolonged tuning runs.
This is for tuning on a bike so I have to close the lid of the laptop and put it into a backpack or down the front of my jacket. I can see some tuning going on via the WBo2 display but the whole things hangs after a few moments and the only way to get it working again is to reboot the laptop and start fresh. PITA
Cheers

I'm fairly certain you need laptop to be running during VEAL as it uses a lot of processing power. May be able to configure your laptop to remain on with lid closed and use small 150w inverter to keep power up. That's what I do with my sports car although has little more room than backpack.

Thanks Jim
I was kind of hoping against hope I spose.
I do have a 12 v DC-DC converter power supply for the small laptop but having to wire up power supplies is pretty ordinary to bother with when it all has to be in a backpack!!!
I spose its how it must be done tho!!!

Re: VEAL. Run Without Laptop Connected
I would backtrack to figuring out your connection issues. I typically use VE Analyze with an Atom based tablet fine.
But one thing I have run across is some touchy USB ports. The 1 tablet has a full size USB port on the detachable keyboard, and a micro USB port on the table itself. When using the full size USB it drops connection as soon as the engine is running. However, the micro USB is quite reliable.
Another option is Bluetooth, that is resistant to noise.

Cheers for the reply.
The little samsung notebook has an Atom processor and normally it runs just fine. Its only been on this ECU/bike that im having trouble but its not the first time Ive had trouble with its USB ports so quite likely.
Ive re-installed TS in case something was corrupted during initial installation to this notebook.
I didnt know I could programme via Bluetooth tho.
I have the adapter from EFIAnalyitics and its very reliable using it on the other bike with a different ECU so is it just a matter of connecting up and away i go minus a USB lead.
That would solve my dramas if I can write to the controller via Bluetooth.
Cheers

Not sure what your bike configuration is, but I've made a few brackets and temp mounts for mine - to hold open lap top above fuel tank (yes, I know I shouldn't look at it or even worse peck at the keys as I'm flying down the road ), and a small power invertor to maintain its battery over whatever length of tuning session chosen. Takes about 10 minutes to do a full mount or demount - painless.
