Who uses a datalogger/scanner?? - Page 5 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LancePearson · 05-26-2013

I just downloaded the DataMaster software to my laptop and ordered from moates.net the adl to usb obd1 cable set up (not cheap) so that I can do basic data logging on some runs. I tend to stay focused on the road ahead when pushing the car and want to log the data into a file on my laptop which can come with and then later look and see what the specifics were of what I did so this seems like an easy way to do it. The scan diagnostic tools seem intelligent but I don't see that they do what I'd call data logging all that well to dump to a laptop. At any rate, I'll give it a try on my 1991. Ordered adl cable specifically for my year Z and the same download of Datamaster software.

TPRT stands for Tunerpro RealTime. Named that way because it is used w real time emulation like Ostrich. TunerCat same thing.

Yea, I meant 8E. I haven't really got into yet, but the first time I tried it, it didn't work. I'm sure I can once I get into. Here's a screen shot, you can see the file names at the top, I could have the wrong files, but I thought they were the right ones.

Joe,

you need to pick the correct .BIN file for your car. when you do, the first file in the title bar will be XXXX.BIN, then the XDF and finally the ADX.

I sure wish someone could post up some youtube vids of scan output, so I'd know what to buy (or to NOT buy)...

I know, and the ones selected are suppose to be the right ones. But I wasn't getting anything, probably just something stupid I overlooked or just needs a little tinkering. I'll start getting back into this shortly, just haven't had the time lately.
