    How to enable triple blink on a 4.5 LCM using NCS Expert?

    Terra was gracious enough to flash a 3.6 LCM with 4.5 SW and code in the following items before sending it to me:

    1. Halogen high-beams with bi-xenon (PWM_WERT2_FL_BIXENON = wert_01)
    2. Fog lights allowed with high-beam (FL_UND_NSW_NICHT_GLEICHZ = nicht_aktiv)
    3. Front DRL delete (GED_FL_ALS_DRL = nich_aktiv)
    4. Front parking lights disabled when low-beam is on (SIDEMARKER_US = nicht_aktiv)
    5. Tail-light DRL (FL_DRL_MIT_RL = aktiv)
    5. Triple blink - but with 5 blinks

    I swapped in the newly coded LCM and everything was working great (including 5 blinks) except for rear DRLs. I did some searching around and found out (here) that for it to work, either 'GED_FL_ALS_DRL' or 'PO_ALS_DRL' should also be set to 'aktiv'.

    So yesterday I went out and set PO_ALS_DRL to 'aktiv' using NCS Expert and I was successfully able to enable taillight DRL.

    However, this morning I found out that my triple blink functionality is gone. I went back to the backup of the FSW_PSW.TRC file of the LCM module from yesterday to check the state of the CYCL_TI_BLK keyword. Strange enough, I don't even see this keyword in the backed up TRC file. Apart from setting 'PO_ALS_DRL' to 'aktiv', I did not make any other changes to my LCM yesterday.

    Question: How do I get my triple blink back (with 5 blinks) using NCS Expert? Hoping one of the coding guys can set me right. Thanks!!

    There is a thread somewhere on how to set triple blink. Don't have time to search for it at the moment.

    Just send either terra or BP a PM. They both know how to do this

    Thanks folks.

    After work, I plugged in NCS Expert again and ran a 'CODIERDATEN_LESEN' on the LCM and opened up the resulting TRC file. Lo and behold, the CYCL_TI_BLK keyword was present, set to 'EINMAL'. I set it to DREIMAL and ran a SG_CODIEREN and had my triple blink back with 3 blinks.

    Apparently, you need to use NCS Dummy to set it to more than 3 blinks and for whatever reason NCS Dummy would not load on my Windows 8.1 machine. Go figure. I also coded impulse hazards (BLINKIMPULS_WARNBLK = wert_04) while I was at it.

    My hunch is that since Terra had originally coded my triple blink to 5 blinks using NCS Dummy, when I initially did a read of the LCM module yesterday, NCS Expert did not recognize the 5 blinks and defaulted back to 1 blink (EINMAL).

    Now I need to figure out how to get NCS Dummy to work on my Windows 8.1 coding machine so I can get back my 5 blinks.

    Here is the method for 5 blinks using NCS Dummy from Terra. I named mine funfmal.

    Basically, open up the LSZ.C36 (if 4.0) or LSZ.C37 (4.5) file with NCS Dummy without loading any FSW_PSW files, go down to cycle_ti_blk, right click it, and click "add parameter". Name it whatever you want, and under data put the number of blinks you want (maximum is 7). Then click on module -> update module.

    You should be able to use that new parameter when coding the LSZ now.

    ^ Thanks ^

    NCS Dummy wont launch on my Windows 8 machine for whatever reason. If I can figure that out, I will give this method a shot.

    I'll post detailed screenshots and troubleshooting steps already tried this evening. NCS Expert on the other hand works just fine.

    On Windows 8 (Build 9600), I get the following when I double click on NCSDummy.exe



    If I click 'skip' nothing happens and NCSDummy does not launch. If I click "Download and install this feature", I get the following screen:



    It stays like this for a while and eventually errors out with the following:



    I know my internet connection on the laptop is solid and its sitting right next to the router, so "unable to connect to the internet" seems like a BS error message.

    Tried using 'compatibility mode - Windows XP' and its still the same. Windows 8 comes with a later version of .NET Framework, why does it need the older 3.5 version?
