Anybody there....has everybody given up on me...Help.
I rechecked my Jimstim and it is working fine.
I can't get an RPM signal in TunerStudio. I turned those dam pots in every direction. I can make the Lost Sync Counter gauge go crazy fast, but still no RPM on the gauge. I have the DIPs 3, 5, 6, 7 to ON, as per the JimStim website http://www.jbperf.com/JimStim/JimStim_v ... .html#tach for a Gen 3 Hemi (NGC 36-1+1 ).
I don't have an engine to try this on.
I am completely stumped at this point, I am not a semi-conductor guy and this is all new to me.
Thanks

The composite log looks good for the crank but does not show the cam. Try turning off all noise filtering.

All noise filtering is OFF.
If the crank is showing good how come the RPM gauge is not showing RPM?
Don't forget that I am testing using the JimStim.
I believe to see the cam signal I have to jump it for secondary tach and use the R11 and R32 on the Xpansion board. I have not done that yet. I am trying one step at a time.
Here is an updated log.

Ok, that would explain the lack of cam sensor signal. Try swapping Ignition Input Capture and see if that gets RPM.

I tried that too, still no RPM.
Can i introduce an outside source for a crank signal and how?
Thanks

For testing purposes, what happens if you set the MS3 and the JimStim for 36-1?

I ran the basic 36-1 to test and it did work, some what erratic but at least I was able see RPM in TunerStudio.
My JimStim now has a burnt CPU from trying all kinds of configurations.
This is why I asked if an outside source can be sent to the MS3x to give an RPM signal to see in TS.

I use a slave wheels mounted on a small electric motor, I fabricate them from 11 gauge (.120") sheet steel in whatever pattern I want to play with.
