Default HPT VCM Scanner filter on discrete values?

I have a PID for Catalyst Over temp Protection. It's values are On/Off. It would be very helpful if I could filter out COT from my data logs when I tune. I know I can turn it off in the config but I nearly melted down my cats so looking for alternatives.

Additionally, I'm looking to tune my TCC lockup. I want to filter data to when TCC is applied then look at knock. I can go off of TCC > PWM lockup pressure (I set mine to 80% across board). However, would be nice if I could just filter on TCC Applied.

Anybody know how to do filter on discrete values like that in HPT VCM Scanner?

not possible tha'ts way deeper coding then anything you see or can adjust on the screen side. Your talking custom way in the background programming.

You can setup filters for what he wants and much more in the scanner. It is just using filters on the data you are recording, NOT changing anything in the coding. You just have to figure out what parameters you want to filter and what math you want associated with it. COT, DFCO, fast throttle transitions, and transient corrections are all commonly filtered data for tuning purposes.

edit-- And obviously the parameter you are trying to filter has to be in your list of scanned channels.Expression Filtering

I answered my own question. It appears to be a limitation of the software after further investigation. The Boolean and enumerated PIDs are not accessible when you create filters. It could be programmed if one had access to the source code but HPT is not evolving anymore.

Interesting. I have always filtered values, so I did not even realize ON/OFF flags were missing from the available PIDs.

He is ahead of both of our answers on this. He is trying to filter a specific flag that is just not available. There are workarounds, but based on his thread on the HPT forums, he is trying to avoid those.
