Using the COMPUSHIFT Setup App
Overview
This article applies to the software tools used for the COMPUSHIFT Sport and COMPUSHIFT Pro, as well as the COMPUSHIFT Mini 2 and COMPUSHIFT Mini 3.
The CS-SETUP tools are available on PC, Mac, Android, and iOS.
If you are using iOS, please be sure you are familiar with and have downloaded the Files application on iOS. You will most likely need it to email and transfer files between the mobile devices and desktop computers.
iOS versions of the apps are on the Apple App store. Android versions are on Google Play and Amazon Kindle store.
The setup tools update their user interface from our servers on the fly as we publish changes. This means that as we add new parameters to the COMPUSHIFT, the tools will automatically work without users needing to download updates to the tools.
The fastest and most reliable method of doing a reflash is from a PC with a USB cable. This method is very fast, reflashing a unit in about 5-10 seconds. Reflash over Bluetooth takes about 6 to 10 minutes The COMPUSHIFT Pro/Sport have support for CAN based reflash, this requires a USB to CAN cable with the STN1110 chipset. The tools also support a J2534 cable.
The same .srec file format is used to reprogram/reflash all of the various HGM products. Do not attempt to use an SREC file from one product on another product.
The current HGM file format for saved calibration/parameters can be edited in Excel if necessary. They differ from the format on the COMPUSHIFT II, and if you need a file translated, HGM will do it for you.

Log Discipline
Log files are named with the time of app startup in ISO 8601 format, with the extension .log.
At every app startup, a background log rotation task runs. First, logs from previous runs are gzip-compressed and renamed with the extension .log.gz. Then, if the total size of previous log files exceeds 8 MB, old files are deleted until the total size is under this threshold.
