John, is that the old hardware you are using with this version?

John@PACE

Steve, this particular log is with the NEW hardware.

John@PACE

Here is another quick change of the screen to show off some flexibility.

Keep in mind that this AutoTap V2.0 Windows will work with your current Atap hardware also.

I would like to add that I am also testing out 2.0 and I had a lot of trouble connecting consistantly with the old windows version (and it was pig slow).

2.0 has worked flawlessly for me so far and seems as fast as the DOS version. I don't have the hardware upgrade yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> But I will...

Overall, it is very nice and makes me stress free because it works like it should.

As Eric stated, this version isn't even close to the pervious windows V1.0 version.

Other nice features. Export of log automatically generates a .CSV file so you can just double click on it and it opens in Excel. No more having to do excel imports. Every single log file cell contains a time stamp. Most parameters are exported and converted in both standard and metric versions, etc.

Other VERY nice features:
1) Indicator Break points on gauges. Range and Color selectable as can be seen in the snap shots.
2) Alerts for a parameter item. Define minimum and maximum ranges for alerts and you can change item color or play a .WAV sound file.

I am hoping that the new windows version will be a free download to use current owners of Autotap. With the windows version the way it was (not working, slow, many problems, etc) they owe it to us to give us a full working windows version at no cost.

It's important to remember that our new AutoTap software (V2.x) will work with existing (V1.x) hardware. The only reason to upgrade to V2.x hardware is to use AutoTap for Palm software, or EFILiveV5 software.

Johnny - I've been runing it on a 233mhz Pentium with 128mb or ram and Win95. I also tested it on an Atlon 1900+ WinXP machine. Both run very nicely. The car - the wait is over, FINALLY got the pistons a few days ago! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So how does the scan rate compare with EASE or Eflive. If its only about as fast as the DOS version then its not really an improvement.

Blarg, it should be free for all. I stopped using A-tap so long ago due to its numerous problems I gave up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Someone put the software up on the net. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

E-mail me a link when it is up.

Thanks,
Justin

ONLY the NEW hardware is a charge, but is NOT REQUIRED.

I was having connectivity problems, is this most likely software or hardware related? Why the new hardware?

This looks sweet! I was getting pissed off at the old software... it wasn't flexible enough

oh man, this is GREAT news! I have to say, paying over 200 bucks for that software (and cable) that i got a couple months ago kinda seemed like a ripoff since the software was so prehistoric.

This seems alot better, and I am very happy to see this.

Anyone know what the sampling increase will be for the old hardware vs the new hardware vs the old software? Now thats the million dollar question!

John@PACE

Let me just say, B&B Electronics listened to everything we had to say and did it right!

You guys will be amazed by the ability to customize almost EVERYTHING (fonts, colors, alerts, zones, etc). A nice speed increase also.

Until the final is released, I thought you guys might want to see a screenshot capture of a log playback. This screen was complete setup by me down to the last color and it only took about 10 minutes or so. VERY NICE and FLEXIBLE.

You guys will LOVE IT! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

is there an estimated price to go along with the new version?

I also want to know how the scan rate compares to EASE, and/or if the new autotap uses fast reads.

I take it they're not releasing a new DOS version.

yea, how fast!! there is a recent post that said a 30% increase in speed, well that isn't squat if you ask me, i have atap and am in the process of buying EASE, is there any comparison to the speed of EASE? it doesn't sound like it but if there is let me know and i will save my money.

John@PACE

No DOS version anymore.

Speed. I will be doing some comparisons next week and let you guys know. However, I do NOT expect it to be as fast as EFILive. EFILive was made SPECIFICALLY for the LS1/LS6 market and the programmers and program controls ONLY need to focus on the LS1/LS6 used PIDs, read/write protocals, etc.

B&B wanted to give us LS1/LS6 guys the best possible solution to our specific needs. Since AutoTap has to fill a wide market (not just us LS1/LS6 performance guys), they gave us the best solution specifically for us... EFILive.

Trust me, the crew at B&B is in no way done in presenting COMPLETE OBDII solutions! They've gone mad lately... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
