Is there a tuner in the house?

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Im desperate! Anyone in here that is good with the xcal and datalogging?

JakeM · January 25th, 2009, 01:56 PM

I'm fairly decent with the hand held and most of its user programmable options. Whats up? Need someone to take a look at a datalog or are you having trouble setting it up?

Thanks V and Towelly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really need to get this done today.

so are you letting it boot up with just the key in the on position or it running?

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 02:11 PM

Running.

vfast · January 25th, 2009, 02:12 PM

it powers up correct with just the key "on"?

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 02:13 PM

I turn on and open the software on the computer (nothing plugged in yet)
Plug in the Xcal to the OBD
Turn the car on
Plug the USB from bottom of the xcal into the port on my laptop

Hit the graph button pick my PIDS

....nothing happens. the graph just sits there static doing nothing.

My xcal? Yes.

JakeM · January 25th, 2009, 02:18 PM

Ok. I think I see what is wrong. Firstly, have you created a save file for the datalogging session? For example, I label mine Log1.csv Log2.csv.. Etc...

If you have;

Connect everything up and boot up your laptop. Turn the key to the RUN position but do not start it. Select the parameters you want to load. Then start the car. The dails accross the top are analog signals that you would use via connnecting them to your Xcal. Such as boost or wide band A/F so those don't really matter.

If everything is hooked up correctly and you went through the setup process correctly, then you should start seeing lines scroll across the bar graph. These are the parameters that you selected to datalog.

+1 was trying to say that....

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 02:23 PM

Cool guys. Let me try that.

vfast · January 25th, 2009, 02:27 PM

good luck

I'm using the Cortex on my frontier I love it we got 25% off as a group buy

JakeM · January 25th, 2009, 03:00 PM

Must have gone well??

vfast · January 25th, 2009, 03:00 PM

yeah he's not back yet

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 03:03 PM

There must be a glitch in my software.I went and tried it like 5 times. I got it to log once with just the MAF ad air counts. With multiple PIDs it doesnt log. I'm going to try again later when I get my "patience" back.

JakeM · January 25th, 2009, 03:06 PM

Right on. Sounds like your getting it right if your dataloging some stuff but not others. You did the setup process right for sure...... Thats strange.

Anyone else got any ideas?

JASonic · January 25th, 2009, 05:37 PM

OK,

Got some data. I could only get it to run with 5 PIDS or less. I will call SCT tomorrow and see what can be done.

This is good though. I was able to get some important data. What I need to know now is how to get the data in the Xcell back onto the graph so I can look at it.

I think you are only able to monitor a certain amount of PIDs at the same time. I believe thats built into the software. Also, some PIDs won't be accessable even though they are there for the checking. Also, you really don't want to run more than a couple PID's at a time when your trying to diagnose something otherwise your going to get very confused with all those differen't colored lines on the graph.
