So I recently got a new used laptop for tuning my '93 5.0 and QH. Last night, for the first time, the dashboard view absolutely freaks out intermittently. I'm guessing at this point it is some sorta comms issue, and it even happens when the car is completely off. Fairly sure something weird is up with my settings or what files I've loaded for logging. It also appears in the logs, so I'm trying to think of what else it can be. Some sorta out-of-sync issue I guess?

Again, this happens with the car off, key out of ignition as well. I verified RAM per the docs, ideas?
Dashboard issue - comms or what?

Resolved. Had to set my COM3 baud to 912600, and timing to 4ms. Hasn't glitched since. Hope this helps someone in the future. This is with the latest TunerPro RT and GUFX/ADX file from here.

Re: Dashboard issue - comms or what?
I'm seeing this same problem. Did you make the changes in TunerPro or in Device Manager?

Re: Dashboard issue - comms or what?
Okay, I found it. When you connect to the QH, a new COM port will appear in Window’s Device Manager. For me, it was COM4. I was able to make the changes above and the problems went away. One thing I noticed, each time I connected to the QH, the baud rate reset to default, however the timing stayed at 4ms.
