What is new in version 1.4.0

New

  • Setup, program and uninstaller are digitally signed (publisher Cronesix GbR).
  • AI connection: An AI program on the same computer (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex) can read and operate the software - view the configuration, build logic, read values from the device.
  • Changes to the control unit always ask for confirmation one by one; programs that cannot ask do not get to the device at all.
  • Tools -> AI connection: state, setup text to copy for each program and the log of all device accesses.
  • Settings: The AI connection can be switched off completely.
  • The AI looks up questions about operation in the bundled manual instead of guessing.
  • The AI follows fixed rules: first look it up in the manual and the node catalogue, then propose, never guess.
  • The AI can connect, disconnect, save and query the state of long transfers.
  • The AI listens to the CAN bus: which addresses send, at what rate, with what data.
  • The AI decodes messages with the bundled CAN databases and can send individual ones after asking.
  • The AI can inspect the files on the device - logs, recordings, crash reports.
  • The AI evaluates stored recordings as numbers (characteristic values and course per signal).
  • Help: The search also finds text on the pages of datasheets and application notes and marks the place on the page.
  • Help: Datasheets and application notes can be zoomed in and out (buttons, Ctrl+mouse wheel, Ctrl+Plus/Minus, Ctrl+0).

Improved

  • Help: Manual with screenshots and legends for every window; chapters on the user interface, tools, logic plan and nodes rewritten.
  • Help: Datasheet pages ship at a higher resolution and, like all scaled-down images, are drawn smoothed; thin lines and small print survive zooming.
  • Help: While scrolling, the outline follows the section being read, not the topmost one at the edge.
  • Device pages: The "Device info" tab is no longer built in advance on every click on the device card.
  • Console: At level "DEBUG" the diagnostic lines of the connection modules (polling, UDS session) now appear as well.
  • Display: The live preview no longer rebuilds the logic for every image and every bound widget.
  • Steering wheel: The device page appears about half a second faster at start (curve diagram only when opened).
  • Start: Preloading the device pages in the splash screen runs without a competing background import (about 0.2 s faster, no deadlock possible any more).
  • Signal plot: The drawing timer only runs while the window is open.
  • Device pages: The device photos are stored smaller - the pages build faster, the installation is about 13 MB smaller.
  • AI connection: The installation is about 50 MB smaller.

Fixed

  • AI connection: The connection to the device can no longer be closed while a transfer is running.
  • Logic plan: The direction arrow on a connection line pointed backwards after clicking a node.
  • Logic: On devices with older firmware the comparison right after the transfer reported "differs" again.
  • Lap timing: Curves from the import wizard were offset by the start-line offset in the editor and on the device.
  • Lap timing: The check for curves beyond the track length did not apply once target times were set.
  • Display: After the template dialog the live preview drew the page at half resolution.
  • Display: Page files with widgets in the old format could no longer be opened.
  • Display: The selection frame of the lap-time widgets now matches the drawn size.
  • Splash screen: The mouse pointer no longer turns into the wait cursor over it.
  • Logic: When restoring from the device, signal bindings on hysteresis blocks were lost.
  • Firmware update: Esc and the close button no longer end the dialog while flashing.
  • File transfer: After an abort, the next transfer on the same connection failed immediately with "transfer aborted".
  • Lap timing: An unreadable track selection no longer deletes all tracks from the device when saving.
  • Logic: A logic plan with errors (such as an invalid CAN ID) is no longer transferred to the device.
  • Track editor: "Export" names the open points of an incomplete track again instead of aborting with an error.
  • Signal plot: With fast signals (UDS stream), timestamps and values could shift against each other by one sample.
  • Connection: If two file transfers ran at the same time, polling and the connection watchdog could stop for good afterwards.
  • Connection: When disconnecting during a running stream setup, the window froze for up to two seconds.
  • Connection: Memory usage grew steadily while connected instead of staying stable.

SimHub plugin on its own

For a simulator PC where the software should not be installed. The plugin connects SimHub to the wheel.

What is new in version 1.1.1

Improved

  • Plugin, USB driver, setup and uninstaller are digitally signed (publisher Cronesix GbR).
Older versions
  • 1.1.0 2026-08-31, 2.5 MB

Installing

  1. Download the setup and run it. The software installs with everything it needs.
  2. If you drive in a simulator on the same PC, leave the SimHub plugin ticked.
  3. The USB connection needs no driver. Windows sets the device up by itself.
  4. Start the software and search for devices. What comes next is described under Help.
