That has a wired RS232 port so yes logging is available from that monitor.

I have never seen the soiftware myself but there is an application going around but IIRC it is a DOS application !

Give Mike Rainbird a PM as he will be able to point you in the right direction.

Is your ecu a T6 then ?

Yeh the car is on T6.
Dos, sounds like I need to go to a muesium! Al try mike see what he says

Its quite rare to have thsi style monitor on a T6 outside genuine works cars from my experience.

As you have a T6, I reckon you could buy a cheapo net book for about Ł180 to keep in the car and use the proper windows package software supplied with PI DescPro to do what you want.

The monitor is in our grpa rally car which is a works spec car ran by mike Taylor developments back in the day.

At least its another option. Will have to look into that.

Software is 'datalog'...it is DOS based and can only be run on a very old lappy.....i should have a copy if you need one....

wrcjim

Hi Ian
Would be interested in a copy if possible. I take it its not possible to run through windows 95/98??

How's the rallying..you get the turbo sorted?

xpackboy

wrcjim

The software you have,is it for dos or will it run on 95/98 windows?

win 95/98 is fine. after that it becomes a problem, although you still might be able to get it to run using DOSBOX or another emmulator.

Datalog will only work with a very old system on Windows 95 it's clunky but still very
useful..

It was an engine failure at Blyton, not done anything since although I am in the process of building 2 new engines...

Has anyone tried running on XP? There is a "Compatibility Mode" built into the OS which emulates running on a old OS, I run DOS based applications fine on XP...

Failing this there are DOS emulators available.
