Default Tunerpro RT V5 Beta - All in 1 datalogger / tuner

Well I got this up and working guys. To clarify yes it DOES work with LT1's....

No more need to pay for datamaster, or put up with freescans hard to read and clunky interface anymore!

Tunerpro RT V5 is the answer. It's a fully customizable datalogging and tuning solution ALL IN ONE and it's free! Donate if you like is $30 and will remove the 10 sec startup delay screen.

Here's a screen shot of a custom dash board I created to use when tuning. There are some other much cooler ones out there, but this is my first attempt and displays all the data I need for tuning. The built in scaling and display functions are better than Tunercats IMO and I haven't found anything yet that Tunerpro cant do that TC can. If I run across it I can use TC for that one thing, but so far I plan on using Tunerpro from now on.

I'll post a few screen shots actually so you can see some of the new features of V5...

Forgive the quality, uploading them to FB degrades it quite a bit, rest assured the program looks great in person, no fuzzy or hard to read labels, etc...



Instead of attaching them all, here's the link to my FB album:

Pretty nice, I remember using an earlier version of TunerPro and it wasn't nearly as polished as this looks. Does this include a graph like Datamaster does after a datalogging run so you can chart different parameters?

Not sure on the compatibility of those OS's. I'm sure it's documented on the tunerpro site though.

Winflash from C.A.T.S.

Graphing I'm not sure. You can export the datalog into .csv or .tsv format so you could graph it easily in excel.

Looks pretty nice, too bad it's only for OBD-I. We need some OBD-II love...

I'm on this level as well.

Also, will this work on 92-93 LT1s? Mine is OBDI, but it uses an EPROM. I know it's different from 94+ in the fact that it uses a chip, but I don't know exactly how all this works.

You will also need to read thru the site and find if your vehicle is supported. If so, you will also need a communication cable with one end on it that works with your particular aldl port on your vehicle. You will also need what is called a "definition file" which is a file that has information on it pertaining to your vehicle's computer. Best thing for you to do is contact Mark Mansur at tunerpro and have him tell you what you will need. But first, if I were you, I'd go to this site, and do some serious reading before attempting to tune your car.

click on PCM tutorial on the left side of the screen at the bottom of the column

The way I got it to work was going to Tools > Preferences > Interface Type ="Use Plugin" > Configure Plug in Component > then select the COM port you want.

I had to switch COM ports btw 3/4 for a few times before I got it to work. Give that a shot.
