Jimbo,

It will do ALL the pectel monitor does including the mapping version and much more.
It connects via the serial port on the ecu using only 3 wires.

So yes it will work on all pectel boards (if enabled for monitor) and others.
Stu @ MSD can add the pectel monitor data stream to ANY chip with or without a pectel board

Its reads all incoming sensors and fault codes (and much more)
It will data log to the limit of the hardrive.
Plus you can set your own warning limits and alarms like the SECS monitor.
The mapping facility will allow full live mapping just like a modern ecu except its only active while the PC is connected as the L6/L8/P8 doesnt have rewriteable memory but you will end up with a hex file to burn an eprom.

So you can use it as a diagnostic tool and/or digi dash display if you have an old laptop to butcher up for the car.

See above

Just a thought
I hope to have a JAVA version of the program as my next project but will need some kind of interface that will cost money...LOL

from that really good mate. As jimbo asked above, will this connect via the diagnostic port connection? Any ecu with a pectel board?

Plus is this going to work with your ecu? Can you pm me about that please mate.
Kev,
At the moment, the demo version updates the windows too often so will cause flickering on large fonts on slower computers..
The ecu only updates about 5 to 10 times per second normally.

Yes it will work on S8 but I want the pectel version working first as I have a mate who is fitting a PC into his car as we speak an he has an L8.

Drop me a PM if you need info to talk about your car
