data logging

[Alxsmt]

so i STILL cant figure out freescan. i think i have gotten it to connect and save files but nothing really happens? can some1 explein to me step by step on what i do and exactly what its sposed to do at that point in time?

i have found a shop that will dyno tune my car at 70/hr but they wont do anything till i get my data logger working.

another question. exactly what values do they need to see to tune it? would a scan tool do the trick? my friend has one and it tells you a lot more than just codes on my car but idk if its enough

I dont use freescan so no help here, but using a scan tool will not do the trick unless you can save the data and view it after the run.

[Alxsmt]

ok i think my friends saves it. but what do you use?

I am not N/A so I don't think TTS would be of great help for you.

freescan sucks.. lol

Tunerpro RT is where it's at. you'll need to download it from www.tunerpro.net, then the $A1 .xdf file and the 1227730 $A1 .ads file (which i'll be uploading to my thread on V6z24.com sometime soon..)



with tunerpro you plug the ALDL in to the computer and the car and click connect.. then when you want to record you just hit record. you can output .csv datalogs or even play back the recordings and watch everything as it happened.

ok now this is pissing me off. i can verify the cable is working in tunerpro under prefrences, the i go to connect it and it says its not functional or not there. then u can verify it again and its not there...

i also just varified it again and it said it was functional and working correctly BUT there wasnt a cable attached....

[Superdave]

what ALDL circuit are you using?

this may help...

[1988GTU]

I would use the USB cable if you're currently using the serial/com style cable.

ok i didnt have enable prominator support or upload whole tables checked. i believe its the ALDU1 from moates. i got it back when the ostrich #1 was out. it doesnt look like the new one.... it was 50 bucks i think if that helps any. little square black box

EDIT - its usb, then goes to the square connector to the black box then to the aldl

[IsaacHayes]

Do you have the USB drivers installed for it ?

[Superdave]

so wait.. you are datalogging with this?
