    Why does DIS work very slowly?

    Hello, sorry for my bad english. To diagnose my E34, I bought a Tiny ADS Interface and a dell c 610 laptop with a COM port. The laptop is equipped with an Intel Pentium III-M 1 GHz processor and 256 MB of RAM (can upgrade to 1 GB). I installed Windpws XP SP3, BMW Standart Tools, Vmware Player 3.1.5 and DIS 57. Connected to the machine, everything works fine. But the DIS works terribly slow. Not in terms of speed of data collection. The CPU is constantly loaded to 100%, the cursor hangs in one place for 5 seconds, as if I'm playing a computer game with a ping of 5000 ms. To press the button, need 5 click.


    How can this be remedied? Really for comfortable work with DIS need intel core i9 and 12GB of RAM? Help me please.

    Today I once again connected to my car. I noticed that the CPU is loaded up to 100% only during connection and reading of DDE. When reading other ECU such lags the mouse is not observed. I'll try the tips from this thread https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...irtual-machine, as well as other versions of DIS.

    You need a lot more ram, but overall that laptop is very antiquated.

    If you're running a virtual machine, you're generally going to want a lot more RAM and you'll want a multicore processor.

    The D610 is okay if you want to run DIS natively, but otherwise you're better off getting something much newer.

    Dis is gonna be slow no matter what you do to it. Try with updated tools to get as fast as the bus can handle which is still gonna be slow. Also don’t run the vm with more than 256 of ram keep it simple

    Hello everyone, thanks for responding. The point is not that it slowly receives and updates information. I understand that this is due to the speed of the com port. That suits me perfectly. The problem is that when reading the DDE / DME control unit, the CPU is loaded to 100%. Even if I look at errors, not live data. In all other ECUs, there is no such load on the CPU, and the cursor normally moves. I read ECU climate control, and there is no such load on the CPU. Although there is as much information there as and in the DME.

    At the expense of RAM, I agree with you, 256 MB is too few, even for an empty XP. Memory quite cheap, I will increase to 1 GB. But I do not agree that this computer is very bad. More powerful laptops with a com port are much more expensive. This cost me $ 50. Overpaying another $ 50 for the additional core of the CPU is simply not cost-effective. At my home a stationary computer, Intel Core i7 870, 8 cores at 2.93 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM and ssd drive. For the sake of interest I put vmware and dis. The same bad mouse, same need to click 3 times to get on the button. This is a good example of the poor use of computing resources by the program.

    I'll try to contact a person from this topic https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...y-ADS-Software to find out how much his CPU is loaded. He has similar computer characteristics.

    I used DIS on a d610 as well with 1 gig of memory... 256 allocated to the vm and no issues but diagnostics is sloooow. ISTA and other tools blow it out of the water. Never had 100% cpu usage. If you send me laptop I will write an image on there that works perfect.

    Unfortunately, the transfer will take too much time, this option does not suit me. I now also tend to the lack of RAM. I think that the CPU just has to wait a long time to download data from the hard drive. Instead of processing the data, he is waiting for their receipt. But I'm not completely sure.

    Hello everyone, I continue to struggle with my problem. I tried to put different versions and assemblies of DIS, the problem persists. When reading DDE / DME, processor is loaded to 100%, starts to slow down the cursor and everything else. INPA always gave an error SYS-0002: ECU OBJECT FILE NOT FOUND when reading DDE / DME.Therefore, I could not verify the CPU load when working with the INPA. But recently i put the TestO.exe (an analog of INPA). And when reading DDE / DME, the CPU also boots up to 100% and everything slows down. And this is not using a virtual machine. I noticed that all the resources "eat" EbasX32.exe. Apparently it is EDIABAS Server. What can I do with it? The problem is definitely not in RAM.

    I with pleasure would send it to you, but from Kaliningrad the parcel at first will go to Moscow. Further on foot, during the whole month, the parcel will walk across all Russia. Later will return back to Moscow from where at last will get to your mail. If of course doesn't get lost in the jungle of my huge country. And after her it is necessary to do this huge way back to me again. The equipment is very old, and there are no guarantees that it won't break in the course of transportation.

    I established different Windows XP and 2000 versions, the problem remained. I have found out that the processor loads Ediabas server, he is EbasX32.exe and ifhsrv32.exe. Loads up to 100% only during reading dde 2.1 (m51 e34). Others ecu read normally, so by a problem not in the ads adapter.
    I understand that the laptop old and weak, but in the 90th I without problems on weaker played in counter-strike. I think a problem in dde.

    I solved my problem. On older diesels, when reading DDE 2.1 (m51), the processor loads up to 100%. Can also be on m21. On DDE 2.2, this problem no longer exists. This is due to the very method of communication between DDE and the computer. All other control units are read normally. On gasoline DME, too, everything is fine. Solving the problem - I limited the maximum CPU load for Ediabas Server by 90%. 10% remains for normal cursor movement and window change. Not an ideal solution, but it allows you to work comfortably. May be useful.

    I think it is not the problem.
    Because our diagnostic equipment very fast and it works good.
    The alternator is a rather complicated mechanism, and, therefore, to check it for defects, first of all, it’s essential to dismantle it. And only after identifying the breakdowns in the process of disassembling and diagnostics, having coordinated everything with the owner, a mechanic begins the repair.
