Did you go through the whole bit of selecting record aldl from the file menu. Then the screen pops up that has record, monitor, stop keys. Go to file and open up a uni file or create a new one, then open it. You can hit record or monitor to just watch and no record. Not sure if you did this, but just trying to help. I built the two transistor interface cable from a schematic on the net for about $20, all parts from radio shack. It works fine most of the times, but I do get the data error every now and then.

i paid 50 from aldlcable.com, and there not hlepin me at all. I did all that you said but the TTS says PCM not Sync. and then it wont work

rkinney

One more thing. Did you select your com port. If not try that and select the port you are using probably com 1. I have had this happen to me a few times, but it would start working again.

Go to setup in the data aquisition window after you open record aldl from the file menu.

k i did
then i go to com port and it show com 4

rkinney

Try com 1.

I just got mine to work, but then quit again. Then one of my connections to the transistor in my cable broke. I have to fix this now. I would check terminal tension at your aldl, then if that's not the problem, you might have something wrong with your cable. If you can open up the serial connector case to see if anything is burned or a broken connection. Just a thought.

i dont have the choice for com 1 its only 4, ima open my cable

rkinney

Don't know then. I have a selection for com 1 and 4, but I use 1. Are you using the free trial version of datamaster with the 20 free recordings, then that you have to buy the license? Just curious?

When you say you did the hypertest do you mean hyperterminal in windows? And did it pass or fail this? What version of windows are you using??

Speed Density

Windows ME and yes hyperterminal. I got it to work with TTS datamaster but now it wont connect to Tuner RT
So im confused.

Are you using a PCMCIA card for a serial port or a usb adapter or does the laptop have a built in serial port on the back? The usb adapters hardly ever work right. I use a PCMCIA card and I was using Windows XP. My problem was that XP wouldn't let my card communicate right even though it showed it as being installed so I had to download a hotfix. This hotfix is also in windows update. I can't remember if this problem was just under XP or if it applied to ME too. I'll see what I can dig up.So you finally got it to let you use datamaster on the car?? What did you have to do to make that work?
