What is Data Acquisition?

The Data Acquisition module of TunerPro can be utilized to gather real-time information from the vehicle, or device such as a wideband oxygen sensor, for tuning and diagnostics. To define how TunerPro communicates with the vehicle or interface hardware, a user loads (or creates) a definition (ADX) file. The ADX definition is similar to XDF definition used to edit bins, but it includes additional information that represents commands and responses that dictate how the vehicle or interface communicates.

What equipment is needed to make use of the data acquisition module?

In the most basic case, the data acquisition module communicates via a COM (serial) port. This means that any hardware that can output a typical TTL/serial signal, including through a USB to serial converter or chipset that function through a virtual COM port, can probably be utilized with TunerPro given the proper definition. This includes most GM OBDI ALDL interfaces, including those that utilize virtual COM ports, OBDII intefaces that utilize virtual com ports, many wideband oxygen sensor controllers (TechEdge, Innovate, etc), Nissan Consult interfaces, and many more.

Just like with XDF definitions, ADX definitions are generally created by the user community.

What vehicles can TunerPro log?

TunerPro uses a general format (much like the bin definition) in order to communicate with the vehicle or interface. The answer to this question generally comes down to whether or not there's an interface for the vehicle, and whether or not a definition has been created for TunerPro. Visit the TunerPro web site for updated information on what datastream definitions are currently available. More are being created all the time.
