Default Loosing HpTuner Communication When Launching

When I try to log my car I loose communication. I am using HPTuners. Not the laptop bouncing around because I have had a passanger come with me to hold it. Could it be that the battery power getting too low? Anyone else have a similar problem?

You are not bumping the port cable are you?

I don't think so. I will try this once again during the week and see if it happens again.

Are the PCM connections firm, is the battery properly tied down? Other then this, it may be a faulty connection to your diagnostic port or the HPT cable is not firmly connected. Double check all your connections.
