firstly...... This is about winaldl. Most people use this for data logging right? But it is only able to do 160 baud? How come every one is down on 160, but uses it? I understand why you would want better than 160 baud.. I just dont see anybody in the posts i am looking at using anything faster. That being said, if nobody is using faster than 160 for data logging why bother making the more complicated 2 transistor cable? I asume I am missing something and people really are looking at better than 160 baud... what are you using?

Secondly.... I keep comming across more crap and little things that are very important that nobody ever mentioned in the basic/ getting started type threads. I read today that with out an adapter I cant use EEPROMS on a modified stock memcal? I will be usinf an 89' ecm. Does this only apply to earlier 80s puters, or am i getting totally confused?

 

The earilier C3 series of ECMs only supports 160 baud stock, so its either 160 or nothin unless you mod the computer. The later ECMs use a faster 8192 baud rate, which requires a two transister for bi-directional communications.

 

I realize this, but I was refering to winaldl only capable of 160 baud... or thats the impression I got. If winaldl only does 160 what does it matter if the newer ecms can do more? see what I am saying? Im sure I am mistaken about somthing, I just wana know what it is.

 

WinALDL is explicity for those ecms using 160 baud rate. Not using/datalogging at 160, then youll be using some other version of software to datalog at a higher baud rate.

 

Like what? The only other data logger i have heard of is included w/ Tuner pro

 

Datamaster
EASE?
There's one on Moates.net too, but I can't recall the name at the moment.

 

I had posted something last night but looks like the server ate it...

What Z69 said, there are other packages out there. Some free, some costing money.
