I just now downloaded it straight from Andy's site and installed it on a test PC. Runs fine. I can post it on my site if you want, but it'd be the same program. AFAIK he hasn't changed it in 3 years.

Tunerpro is a pretty good datalogging/BIN editing tool. Might want to give it a try. Here are some links and info to get it running.

Go to TunerPro RT and download thet latest version of TunerPro RT. RT version is "real time", and allows data logging. It is free, but for $30 bucks you can register it and get rid of the 10 second NAG screen at startup. Tunerpro has a bin editor, datalogging, hex editor, and everyting else needed to tune a car.

Then, go to Mark Moates downloads page and download the "94-95 LT1 F Car.zip" file. This is the ALDL definition file for datalogging.

Then, at another Mark Moates download page download the "EE.xdf" file. This is the BIN definition file, which translates the binary to english.


Check it out! I think it might just be as good as all of the stuff you would pay for.

Freescan is just a scan tool that will allow you to monitor PCM readings. I have not tried the free tuner but with programs like LT1 Edit you can change fuel and spark curves among other things.

I couldn't figure out how to get freescan to start sccanning stuff, I think I must have not done steps in the right order or something.

Hey every one:

Just wanted to let those of you who downloaded Tunerpro and are either using it or are planning to use it:

I have found a that the datalogger has a few bugs in it. It is telling me that I am getting knock counts, and the timing is being retarded. Since the car is running fine, I checked the knock sensor, and all is well. I then tried another datalogger (TTS datamaster), and it shows no problems in this area. So I do not have complete confidence in this area of the Tunerpro.

If I find the source of the problem, I will post again.
