Re: whats up with new autotap? I couldnt even get IAC counts with the updated software. Not a real strong update. My guess is they want us to shell out more money for the hardware upgrade to get our original parameters back.

Re: whats up with new autotap? I haven't had any problems figuring out the software.... it workse well for the display...
however, I've had many problems w/the logs, even after installing the patch! I have about 100 entires out 4000 where it shows my IAT -40.... normally i'd expect this to be an error... but it occurs at the same time as I get KR and my LTRIMS go to -100.... I'm 90% sure that it's a software glitch... but problem is I have my nitrous bottle filled for the first time... i'm worried i wired something up incorrectly and am spraying... unlikely though because the switch isn't flipped, it's not at WOT and it's not at 3000RPM or above but still.... I dont like guessing wether records are real or not

Re: whats up with new autotap? The logging sucks. I've been playing around with the logging and with the car off but the ignition on, I logged 10 seconds. The playback jumps all around. For example, knock retard cycled between 0 degrees and -61 degrees. Same thing when I tried it on another MFBA member's car at the track yesterday. I just went back to the DOS version.
I've tried the patch and a complete removal and install of 2.01.

Re: whats up with new autotap? I've been having some trouble logging also. Most things are recording valid data (I suppose???), but the o2 data is like 1.2 or 4.3 or 0.8. I've got the mV one selected, not the % one. It shows fine in the real time mode, but something ain't right on the logging. Still using 1.11 at the moment. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I really like the customization on 2.0.
