Dalalogging

[w_hodel]

I have a datalogging cable for my laptop, but all the programs I have for it suck! I can't get them to work with my laptop, it won't read my car right. Do you guys know of any good datalogging programs out there???

try the Seach function. its quite nice. let me refer you to a thread that's only about 1 month old: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=433120

as to your question, laptops don't really work well (if at all) with datalogging programs, unless your laptop has a serial port, then it might work. you'll most likely have to get a palm pilot or equivalent. off e-bay they are really cheap, about 10-30 bucks. then you need a serial port adapter cable (about $5).

the software that works is MMCd datalogger. a list of compatible components (palm pilots, etc) can be found here: http://mmcdlogger.sourceforge.net/

however, the above page does not have the complete datalogging software: there's no executable file (.prc file) in the download. go to this page: http://www.ecimulti.org/mmcd/, and download the 'MMCd Source 1.71.01132005' file. this one has the executable .prc file.

the thread linked above is also helpful.

good luck.

Thanks, I searched for datalogging, never thought to search datalogger. I will definitly look for a palm and get that software sounds like the best bet. Thanks for your help man.
