Streaming data from external programs into TunerPro
Innovate's LogWorks2/3 has a really neat feature where you can stream data from external programs directly into LogWorks2/3 by means of an ActiveX control. There is a thread about how this works here-
http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/foru ... php?t=5547
...and its really dead easy to use. It didn't take me very long to hack my old Nissan diagnostic software to stream data into LogWorks2/3.
I think a similar feature for piping data into TunerProRT would be really really cool. What I would really like is to be able to take existing diagnostic software, modify it slightly like I do when streaming data to LogWorks2/3, then have this data available in TunerPro for use as indexes for map tracing.
Is that doable?

I asked Mark about this a while ago, on a very similar premise actually. And he said that there is not a way to do it.
For me, I'm simply looking at adding the input from my Innovative WBO2 (LC-1) into the Tuner Pro RT dash and datalog.
I don't want to get into adding a bunch of sensors and more Innovate products just to get half the info I want through Log Works.
I also don't want to have to patch EVERY bin file and XDF just to add the WBO2 info, especially since the patches are not available for every BIN file XDF and ECM.

If you have an AutoProm with the Aux channel inputs you could log 3 external devices into your current logs.
they are 10 bit resolution and are faster inputs too.

JP86SS is right you can do it but only in the aldl data (older cars will not log aldl )
Magnus if it would be possible to add recording of this three inputs in text file (log it and save it or log it in the fly into desired file on the HDD of laptop ) it would be possible to simply log 3 data stream and put them into the excel (to create the graphs ) you coud watch the WB/RPM or WB/TPS (or any other data witch signal are 0-5V)
It is wery easy to connect the WB to this input and i think i can design the interface to connect the readings of rpm to the other (then WB) 0-5v input
Best regards

Try using ScannerPro for that. If it works, then TunerPro v5 will support it as well.desmo01 wrote:If you can, please add support for the wbo2.com 2A1. They define the RS232 stream as well.
This would allow 1 rpm channel, 6 analog voltage channels, and 1 wide band channel on 1 RS232 stream.
Yay!

When TunerPro v5 comes out, support for the wbo2.com 2A1 will be there and any v2.0 format unitMangus wrote:Try using ScannerPro for that. If it works, then TunerPro v5 will support it as well.desmo01 wrote:If you can, please add support for the wbo2.com 2A1. They define the RS232 stream as well.

Also note that, over the next few releases of V5, I'll be moving everything hardware and comms related over to a plugin model. This will allow people like you (Calum) and other hardware/software developers to write their own interfaces to make their hardware work with TunerPro. This also opens up the ability for TunerPro to communicate with the diag stream of a more varied set of vehicles.

I like the sounds of that!
Will there be access to the GUI elements/graphics also?
Thanks,
Dave

That will come last (as it is the most difficult to do in a way that doesn't take away my ability to be agile with UI changes by making it easy to break other peoples' code). We'll see to what extent, but my intent right now is to be able to add your own editors via plugin, and add your own parameters to the param tree for those editors. I also plan to at least add the ability to add your own toolbars, and perhaps menu items.dfddfd2 wrote:I like the sounds of that!

Again, that's iall in flux at the moment, as it will be done last.
Emulation plugin-ization is done (or at least working. still need to code review it and ensure that it's extensible enough). Working on data acquisition as I type this.

This is what I need.
On my 89 Camaro I have the LC1 hooked to the ECM so I'm covered there.
The problem I have right now is a friends 94 LT1 car, he has a LC1 w-b o2 and I have been looking for a way to tie it into TunerPro.
Did this happen? I have v5 and don't see what I think I should be looking for.Mangus wrote:In the future I may add support for common WBO2 controllers.
