This has probably been ask a million times. is it still possible to get data onto the lap top or is the technology to old. any software/data lead available?

when turned on,the monitor comes up with-

PECTEL CONTROL SYSTEMS
INTERNAL RAM-128k
SOFTWARE VERSION 1.32e
ECU LEVEL 8
EPROM NAME-PECTEL T6
LOGGING ON 8CHANNELS

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.

 

i did own the software, but i cant find it on any of my backups DOH

 

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....

 

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?

 

hi i have the descpro software for t6 also got the data logging software called dart used to own a pectel t6 monitor myself great piece of kit

 

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...

HTH

Thanks Ian, al give it go

 

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.
