Comparing calibrations

[Mcwrench94]

Im curious if there are better programs to compare cummins xcal calibrations other than calterm?
Im a novice at best, just trying to learn. Maybe im not using calterm right but when im using the compare feature on isx cm2350 alot of the parameters are x’d out?

As someone who has been your shoes, and now write my own files from scratch if need be (that even rawze has reviewed without any issue) ...

There is a better way to look at this stuffs than comping them using c a l t e r m s awful compare tool to find differences in files...

you have to convert the calibration file fully into plain text, then sort it by 'Circuit' and 'Manager' to see it in proper context, and then use a software called MELD to vie3w everything properly and fully.

I recommend that you hop on the mumble server with rawze himself, and he can point you in the right direction and get you a lot more info...

Trying to learn the programming by doing compares of other peoples work is an utter, complete waste of time. This especially if your using CT to do them, as it is absolutely horrible for this.

What your doing is also the equivalent to trying to figure out the recipe for a special type of bread.. and all you have is the already baked result.

YOU LITERALLY are seeing LESS THAN HALF the changes actually needed, and will never get a complete picture of what your trying to learn by sifting thru compare reports.

This is how you learn this stuffs properly... (about mid way of this post)...
