Output test mode. MS2 outputs on MS3 project

Post by mega_user »

I upgraded my MS2 system to the MS3 board. I still use IAC1 and IAC2 otuputs on the main board.
Tunerstudio with an MS3 project does not allow to test this and other outuputs thar are visible in MS2 projects.
MS3 board can still acesss all this outputs (LED, IAC JS10,JS11) but strangely Tunerstudio does not allow to test them in output test mode.

Will there be an update to Tunerstudio that will allow all outputs to be tested with an MS3 project?

This should be an easy job for the developers. Adding additional output port testing.

MS3 most certainly has IAC output test modes, for when used used as both generic outputs and IAC stepper...

It's been a long time since I used the older firmware but I'm sure the output test modes were there... Still you should update, since the the current firmware (even at least back to 1.4.x) have full output test modes...

I'm not sure what the purpose of your post is, because the only replies you'll get are to update anyway. Any update to 1.3.4 would be a newer firmware, so there's no sense in asking for a specific interim update that has already been superseded...

*EDIT*

I just created a new project with 1.3.4 There is output testing of the IAC channels for testing with a stepper motor. Since you haven't mentioned what you are using those outputs for that may be what you need. I haven't found simple on/off testing for those outputs though. But again, upgrade to a newer firmware, especially since this is a fresh install (upgrade) with the MS3.

First, this is not a TunerStudio issue because that feature is entirely related to the firmware you're using. And second, if you are just upgrading to an MS3 you need to use the latest firmware release (1.5.0). Especially if you find the old one lacking.

The 1.3.4 seems pretty stable. Reading about some issues with the 1.5.0 and waiting for all the fixes. Maybe there will be an official 1.5.1 soon.

1.5.0 is stable.

1.4.1 is stable and also has the test mode you're after.

Seriously, update the firmware because you're trying to use very outdated firmware and complaining about something that is missing, that is in newer and known stable firmware...
