Hi I realy apreciate all of the help that you have been giving me Scott. You sent me 2 files of yours. XDF and the BIN. This got my car running. I hooked up the aldl cable but dont have the .ads to monitor the engine. This computer tuning stuff is so new to me I feel like an idiot. Could u please send me this file, Thanks

 

[dparta]

Ok I have all of the files i need now. Now when I press the button to connect the aldl in tuner pro rt it tells me serial port effor, could not initialize port. I have the usb cable pluged in, it finds the ostrich, but wont connect aldl. do i need another type of connection besides the usb? Thanks

tools>preferences>ALDL>com port.

You can also use the "test for valid cable" button to find the correct port.

While you're in there, check the box that says "diasble check upon uploading".

I tried all of the com ports says the same thing. When I test for valid cable settings it tells me cable not found or not functioning (8192 baud).

Have you set the cable type to the proper selection? Sorry I should have mentioned that in my last post.

I believe there are 3 choices, 2-trans/max232????, Auto Prom, and a third one I can't recall. I'm not sure what your USB cable would be under.

I dont know what the right setting would be but i did try them all. This is so frustrating. Turned into a nightmare messing with this

thanx works perfect.

 

[dparta]

great now if someone could help me get mine reading my data i'd be doing good

you need to go into the device manager. then go into ports and it should show everything thats hooked up. if tunerpro isnt set to the right com port it wont connect

is your aldl cable serial or usb?

 

[dparta]

i looked in device manager and says com port 2, i set it for that. I have the ostrich 2.0, usb. i even tried another computer

 

[scott0999]

the ostrich doesnt datalog, you need whats called an ALDL cable for that

 

[dparta]

oh man well thanks. i have hit so many dead ends trying to get this thing going. Where can i get this cable and how do i hook it up?
