EMissFire Download and Installation of latest version-Rev 1.05:

For detailed for instructions on installing the EMissFire Detector update, click here.

WARNING! Due to differences in Win Vista and Win 7, EMissFireDetector version 1.04 will install to a different location from previous versions. This means you will have to move your saved ScreenJPEGs and Data from the old location to the new location. Installing EMissFireDetector version 1.04 will not disturb your existing data! It will be up to you to move your files after installing this new version. If you have Windows XP, Windows Vista 32-bit, or Windows 7 32-bit your existing data is located, by default, in c:\Program Files\EMissFireDetector\Data and c:\Program Files\EMissFireDetector\ScreenJPEGs. If you have Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit your old data files will be in c:\Program Files (x86)\EMissFireDetector\Data and c:\Program Files (x86)\EMissFireDetector\ScreenJPEGs. The new location is under c:\Automotive Test Solutions\EMissFireDetector\Data and c:\Automotive Test Solutions\EMissFireDetector\ScreenJPEGs. Simply copy or move the files in those old locations to the new locations.

(See the step-by-step instructions for moving your old files.)

Old Shortcuts and Icons
In some cases you may have old shortcuts or icons from a previous version left on your Desktop. These old shortcuts might still call up the previous version of your EMissFire Detector instead of the new version. The upgrade installation will try to remove those old shortcuts for you but it might not get them all. The first time you run the software after installing the new version check the version with Ctrl-A. It should say "EMissFireDetector Version 1.04, Released 03-08-2011". If it doesn't, you used an old shortcut to start the program. Close the program, delete the old shortcut then use the new shortcut.

This new version will come up asking for a passcode as if it were a new installation. Please call Tech Support at 800-572-6112 to get a new passcode.

Quick Start Instructions:

The EMissFireDetector program will only run if you have an ATS EScope (Pro, Limited, or Original). You must also obtain a passcode from ATS to enable the program and this is only possible if you have purchased the EMissFireDetector. The passcode is locked to your EScope hardware and does not change from installation to installation (i.e. you only need to enter it once).

Revision History (most recent version can be downloaded above):

• 02/03/2012: Rev 1.05:
  • Added scaling options for new Rev2 versions of Vacuum and 300 PSI pressure sensors.
  3/24/2011: Rev 1.04:
  • Added multiple Engine block pictures and firing orders through the year 2011.
  • Added new Flash based user's manual that can be accessed from the Help/EMissFireDetector Manual menu.
  • Added ability to auto adjust window size when increasing for larger screens.
  • Added option to print with grey background on graphs to save ink.
  • On Tools Menu, if no other tools are found it will say "No Other Tools Installed" instead of saying nothing.
  • Changed the installation directory from “c:\Program Files to” to “c:\Automotive Test Solutions” to keep all ATS programs, settings, and data files in one location that Windows will not prevent access to.

• 12/22/2009: Rev 1.03:
  • Optimized to work better with Windows 7.
  • Added "Size to 1024x574 (Netbooks)" option.
  • Allowed user to close window (X).
  • Changed zeroing routine.
  • Changed Trigger setup to work better with original Escope

• 03/04/2009: Rev 1.02:

  - Added numerous engines to engine database and updated some of the images.
  - Updated setup pictures to have more detail and reflect new setup for compression.
  - Enabled demo mode playback of binary (.bin) files. Previously this was limited to one second text (.txt) files. Also made playback mode speed similar to actual data collection speed (it’s much faster!). Program will now automatically switch between default Misfire and Compression demo files unless a custom demo file has been selected.
  - Added “RPM” indicator to “Measure” tab.
  - Made significant changes to Compression analysis including the following:

  •Added “Camshaft Timing” analysis for intake and exhaust camshaft timing.

  •Added “Ignition Timing” analysis.
  •Added “Approximate Idle” analysis
  •Added “Expected Compression” analysis for both “Cranking” and “Snap Throttle”.
  •Added “Vacuum” analysis that compares calculated vacuum in cylinder to vacuum measured from Hg sensor at vacuum port.
  •Compression (300 psi) sensor is now to be used on Channel 3 and Vacuum (30”Hg) sensor is now to be used on Channel 4. This allows Misfire (20”H20) sensor to be left on Channel 1 when switching between Misfire and Compression testing.

• 9/12/2008: Rev 1.00:

  - Major enhancements to automated misfire analysis accuracy.
  - Enabled “Steady Miss”, “Random Miss”, “Bank 1 Miss”, and “Bank2 Miss” indicators.
  - Simplified some of the misfire setup adjustments. There is now a “Coarse Sensitivity” and “Fine Sensitivity” adjustment to increase sensitivity of detections.
  - Changed calculation for “Misfire %” to be based on recent history instead of all history since counting began.
  - Setup MISFIRE/COMPRESSION modes to ask mode at startup. Depending on which mode is selected, items on Configuration, Misfires, and Compression tabs will disappear if they do not apply to configuration. Switching between modes is easier to understand.
  - Edited and added more help that displays when you press the ‘?’ buttons on each tab
