Some of you may know that Datamaster is no longer available. I've built a page to lower the difficulty of understanding TunerPro RT. Because I'm new to the program comments or suggestions will be welcomed. At a later date I will go into how to work VE tables for speed density tuning.

You deserve a Top Gun style High Five! Thank you! All the links are dead for the subjects I'm trying to learn.

 

You're welcome. I'm a retired Carpenter who taught Apprenticeship for 5 years where I learned to lower the difficulty of understanding. I would only hope the mods here would make it a sticky so that others can benefit from my work. At 55 years old this was a huge undertaking for me!

Scott, I'm a customer from several months back. I spent months trying to download datamaster on my old windows 7 laptop with no luck so I could give you a datalog of your tune so we can get it dialed in.
I finally gave up and bought a new laptop with windows 10 only to find out datamaster was discontinued. I hopped on your website and as advised downloaded tunerproRT.

I have a new moates cable, downloaded driver and tunerpro recognizes the cable. My problem is selecting the XDF file. I've selected the proper adx file for version 5, saved it , but when I go to tunerpro and click "acquisition", then select "load definition file", then I try to select the saved file........ nothing happens. I tried it at least 50 times!
I even tried downloading the older ads file and loading it by using the "import definition" by using ads with no luck.
I watched a good youtube video of a guy doing it and it loaded right up for him when he selected his file.
I could have just sent you an email but I thought this might be a helpful post for somebody else one day.
Any ideas on what the heck is going on? I'd greatly appreciate any ideas.

Thanks, -Gary Bettner / Boggstown IN ( If you remember me)

 

XDF is a BIN definition file used by TunerPro to decipher the Bin (program in the EPROM) and an ADS file is a Data Stream file used to decipher the ALDL data stream. You need the XDF and the ADS file in order to datalog. For 89 as in your sig., you need a $6E definition file (MAF w/o 9th cold start injector). HTH!

 

I converted my 89 TBI harness to speed density and running a 7730 ecm

 

Then you need a $8D XDF definition file.

 

Yes, I know the definition file I need. I select it, save it, but when I open tunerpro RT and try to select it after saving, nothing happens.

 

From your original post, it sounded as if you were trying to use an ADX file, not an XDF. Sorry for mis-understanding. Did you load your BIN file into TunerPro?

 

No, I didn't do anything with bin files. I am only looking to datalog, no tuning. The tutorial I watched said not to mess with bin files if just data streaming.
I may have misunderstood something though, do bin files need loaded if just data streaming?
And yes, I was under impression for tunerprort version 5 you should select an adx file, not the older ads.
I'm not good with computers at all, just trying to get through this. Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Are you getting the yellow highlighted box saying DA not connected?

 

Yes I am

 

Did you try connecting using the double blue arrows at the top toolbar (connect/disconnect)?
