Another Newbie Question about Tunerpro RT V5

49chev · Post by **49chev** » Thu May 13, 2010 9:13 am

Been reading for 8 months and decided to start datlogging so I can do some tuning, I downloaded Turnerpro RT V4.14 and V5. I ran both programs, V4 I can get to run no problems but when I try V5 it connects and shows data on the dash but it keeps flashing a "ALDL data error" on the bottom of the screen as well as an error count beside that. I have tried this on my laptop and desktop with the same results. Here is what I am working with and had loaded:

1994 truck 16196395 BDUK

my BDUK.bin I read from my chip
Advance $OD v175.xdf
v30 $OD A217.ads also tried OD wdo2.ads imported and converted to .adx for V5

I know I must be over looking something but what?

how often does the error counter go up? and are all of the datastream avlues and bitmasks defined to the correct reply? i know the 0D has at least two streams.

The error is a couple times a second, I looked a log and the reads go from correct to zero back to correct at the same frequency as the error code was flashing. I think it has to be a setting in v5 that I don't have set correct as the same files work fine with v4. One other thing I noticed was when using v4 it ran at a sample rate of 10Hz but v5 was 1 - 3 Hz.

PM me your email address, i made a 0D ADX a while ago, it MAY fix your issue.

robertisaar, Thanks for the file it fixed the problems I can now start data logging with v5. I will have to take a closer look at the file to see what the differences are and were my problem was.

Thanks again

i can tell you what the differences probebly were: the connect and monitor commands. mine are setup to buffer the command send/recieve operations to they don't overlap and cause bad stuff to happen. you may need to switch the monitor command depending on what exactly you want to log, but it's fairly easy, just look near the bottom of the list of things you can select.

Robert, is this the same 0D.adx that is one your website? I am getting lots of data errors with my .adx and I'm not spotting any differences between your and my adx's for the Mode 1 commands (other than the the send byte string). I am not seeing any obvious ways to buffer the send/receive commands either. Thanks.

more or less, i setup my connect and monitor commands like this:

connect:

mode 8 macro
mode 8 macro
mode 8 macro
5ms pause
mode 8 macro
5ms pause
mode 8 macro
5ms pause

monitor:
mode 1 send
mode 1 recieve
15ms pause

and if there is more than one datastream to be logged

mode 1 message 0 send
mode 1 message 0 recieve
15ms pause
mode 1 message 1 send
mode 1 message 1 recieve
15ms pause

seems to work well with everything i've used it on... even though i don't always stick to the exact pattern.

How do you create the pauses?

Post by **robertisaar** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 6:47 am

"listen for silence" command.

just change the silence length to 0mS and the time out length to whatever works for you.

Got it, many thanks.
