Data Errors with TP5...
Now trying to go full speed ahead on datalogging, so i can get the tune dialed in. TP5 connects up fine, but i get the flashing red/blue light at bottom of screen, going from connection to data error. This happens about once a second, so all scan data is not much useful.
Now i did put in that "pause before resend" command in the Mode1 dump request macro, but didnt seem to help much. i first tried 20msec, then 50. I read somewhere here about quieting the CCM on a '90, and that would clean up the datastream.

Mike,
I built a page on using Datamaster. It will give you blm averages for the entire log which makes tuning way easier. Datamaster can be used for 20 logs for free. See here:

Tomorrow i am going to use my old school scan tool from EASE diagnostics. it does min/max and avg for BLMs and INTs.....easy to use. Just dont like the mode it puts the ECM in. And some incorrect data comes out....

If you are still getting that 'glitch' when scanning using TunerPro RT - check your acquisition definition file. If the baud rate is 8192 then open Commands and then look for "Transmit Data Reply". Set the "Body Size" to be Payload offset + Payload size + 1. This usually fixes the data glitch problem.
If your baud rate is 160 or 4800 (Early Pin E AlDL connections), then this fix does not apply.

Now in the Mode 1 ALDL Dump Request Reply section, i see the other entries you mention. I have 66, 3, and 63 for those values. All in dec values. Is this the section that you mean?
I am using the 1227730_8D.adx version.

Yes that is the area that has problems.
I sell the cables as Red Devil River. I have a my install disk online in .zip format. Download it and it has an updated $6D .ADX on it.
The .zip file is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...20USB-ALDL.zip
On the disk the file is located in the directory at
\Red Devil River ALDL Cable\TunerPro RT ADX Definition
And the file is called
1990 5.0 & 5.7 Y Body 1227730 $8D V1.adx
The .ADX file is not my work but one of my acquired acquisition files.
It will work without giving you that every second glitch.
I think this .ADX file also has an updated dash screen function in it.

Glad to hear you got it figured out.
So now next time you buy an OBD1 ALDL cable you need to buy it from me. http://reddevilriver.com/aldl.html
Ok, so I don't expect that you will be needing another one, but still cool to hear you got it figured out.

Not likely but i will think of you! Then again my Moates cable could fail on me. I had a burner go on me a few months ago, but they replaced it for free.
Now made 2 datalogs today, TP5 working well. More questions have come up. Can i send you a PM?

I've got my cable and laptop loaned to a guy in Seattle, so I just bought one of his cables for my netbook. I help a lot of people with tuning, so if this cable works good I recommend you in the future.
Mike,
Did you try Datamaster? If you answer the questions on my required information page I'll post up a base file you may like? Glad to hear you're at least getting data. Scott

TunerPro has a histogram feature as well, but havent figure out how to get data into it.

If TunerPro can give you fuel averages that's great. The averages make tuning way easier. I've just been using Datamaster for a long time. My licensed version is on a P333 with 98 megs of RAM and Win 98. Can't wait to get the USB cable.
Me, Datamaster owner? I wish.

No, I'm just some guy who spent $1000 on programming that ran like crap, so I started doing it myself. I've learned a lot in the last 10 years, but now that I'm home I have more time.

I do have TP-RT5 working now. I just like to make use of what i got. At least today TP has decent support, but is a little tricky to use.
Man that is an old PC, time fer upgrade! I use a old Dell Latitude myself, but has Win XP on it, not real fast either.
