well seeing as you all ganged up on me, I've added an "ICE %" on display to the trip screen
(Posted codes SCjul216 and SVjul216)
I've also cleaned up a few bugs in the MPG calculations.
The ICE timer runs whenever it 'thinks' the ICE is doing work. By which I mean if its consuming fuel, the
counter runs, but if its merely spinning at 950rpm at highway speed without using fuel, then that doesn't count.

I'm not clear how useful such a % ICE on figure is because it says nothing about how hard the ICE is working, but that's your problem!

That's it, vacation time.

You Da'man!! I am exiting the OS X operating system and dancing with the great satin, i.e. I am booting my Intel Mac under windows, and down load the update. Thanks Norm.

Anyone down load this yet? I am having trouble with the new MPG graph since adding the most recent software. It appeared to work prior to this. I am getting 32-35% ICE, I have seen sub 20% so I have some work to do!

As you pointed out henry, I inadvertently altered the MPG code when I added the ICE on timer.
Its fixed now (SCjul226)

I will formally propose to marry you when we meet Norm!! Thanks for doing this. It is an important number for some of us b/c it tells us how well we're doing with our glide vs our 'pulse' or steady speed driving.

[hdrygas]

Works great now. Last trip I got down into the 20's. I think this could help evaluate the acceleration phase of pulse and glide.

I just noticed that I'd written the ICE on time accidentally onto the parameters page as well as the trip page, which looked messy, so I've fixed that with SCjul236. Definitely vacation time....

Norm, Have a good vacation. Since you "fixed" the mpg calculation it is reading much lower and not agreeing with the consumption page very well at all as it did before. There had been some agreement prior now they are very different? My consumption page shows me with 60.2 and rising each trip and the trip and graph suggest the low 50's. That did not happen before.
Time to eat crow. Very nice dish. I like to serve it in an orange glacé with a side of wild rice and yellow wax beans in sweet and sour sauce with mushrooms and bacon bits. I forgot to set up the trip page and zero it out. I had one bad trip that was coloring my observations. On the good side I was trying so hard to do better I am at 62.6 mpg at mid tank. This may be a lesson for the rest of us. CAN-View that lies, pushing us to new heights. Get rid of that rear seat and spare. Pump those tires up. Yes!! Oh well. The weather is good and my chi is now centered.

Time for an update that has nothing to do with plug-ins or relays. The software to add the PHEV relay code used up so much space that in order to add the EV and trip screens, some items had to be discarded. Which CAN-view owners without relays have put up with in order to get the trip screens.

Well, I have now done a separate version with all the relay code removed which let me put back in 4 of the graphs which had been removed. It also gave me room to add a new screen which some have asked for. This code is now available for download at www.hybridinterfaces.ca/downloads.html. You need both the CAN code SCjul146.hex and the video code SVjul146.hex but the IE code hasn't changed.
On the EV parameters screen, there is a new small button at the bottom marked'M/G'
[attachmentid=4150]
Pressing this brings up a new screen which records miles per US gallon in steps of 1 mile instead of the 5 minutes the MFD does. (The values are from a bench simulator, not from my Prius)
[attachmentid=4148]
You can accomodate extremes by touching the SCALE button which cycles through 5 different vertical scales and then does a numeric table so you can see actual MPG figures:
[attachmentid=4149]
CLEAR starts everything off again from scratch without clearing collected data on other screens.

For those few who do not live in the USA, if you had selected degrees Celsius instead of Fahrenheit at the general set-up page, you would see everything in litres, kms and L/100km
This feature is NOT available in the version of code for plug-ins.
I've driven it for a couple of days but Frank Hudon has already found 1 bug (now corrected)
Enjoy!

Norm, et al,
I downloaded the new software updates and , as usual, am having some trouble. Now, I only tired this by sitting in the car in the garage, not while moving, and in EV mode...

But, I seem to have all the new 'goodies' except for this m/g+ graph. I see the button, but when I push it nothing happens. Do I need to start moving first to see this or do I need to be moving to see it?

Button should work even in driveway. I think the calibration may be off. I have to push a bit to the right of the button.

You know, that may be it! I had trouble resetting my screens the way I like them and found I had to hit the smaller buttons a bit off to the right.

Any idea if this is something at the CAN-View end of things or more on the MFD calibration end of things? My MFD buttons otherwise seem to be on target.
