Smile PW in DC instead of MS

Anyone here with a 2.0 version ever look at injector PW in DC and notice anything funny?????

Funny is this; Driving the car and seeing a duty cycle of say 40 percent and varying with throttle input. Pick any percent you want. THEN coming to an idle and the percent is in the teens or twenty plus and your just idling???? NOT normal. At idle you should see maybe 4 percent.

And if you do see this percent in the teens or twenty plus percent, does you Palm display for a brief moment a low figure like 4??????????

I'm seeing this glitch on both a N332 and N326 (Beta tester for n/a), and wondering if there's someone else out there with this glitch.

The injector in MS seems to work fine, just when you select DC instead of PW is there a problem for me.

JPG attached. See the rpm at 731 but the percent duty cycle at 37percent??? Not realistic. Also I just now noticed the high/low for the duty cycle and the high of 115 percent. Injector be working overtime to do that. humor

And there's something else I noticed. If I drive and come to a stop and the car is idling as described above with a ridiculous figure of 28% (you name it), and then if I turn the RTEK program off on the Palm and then bring the RTEK back up on the Palm and select LOG, then the figure for DC is reasonable.

Like I have rebooted the computer to make it work right.

I've a digital meter that shows duty cycle in MS or percent and I plan on comparing the percentage figure on the Palm against the Fluke.

This is a good feature on the RTEK. IF working right.

I downloaded the FIX and it seems to be working like it should. No more hanging up at a large number at idle and going thru the gears it seems to be acting just like the Fluke. I'll drive it some more tomorrow when I've more time.

Did I say "thank you"? Thank you for the quick fix.
