Whats going on guys, need some input if you guys have any knowledge on evo scan working on windows vista. I installed 1.1 .Net Framework, and installed the program. So far it has been working perfectly.

I am able to do logs, and the everything with evo scan 0.97 and 0.99.

I installed my Innovate Wideband, LC-1 and xd-16. Everything is working perfectly with the gauge and everything.

The problem i am dealing with is when i plug in the serial to usb cable to my laptop it will connect to com port 3 and seem like it is working fine but will not read my wideband a/f. It will just say x at funtion and stay blank at reading.

I installed the drive onto my computer and everything. the ONLY problem i am having is getting the reading off of the wideband.

Is it because it is windows vista? This is the 3rd cable, so it is not the cable. Or the driver. is there a setting i have to change on evoscan?

Any input would really help. Thank you

 

I do not think it is vista since it was working fine on evoscan .97 and I use .99 and log my wideband just fine with vista. I actually have other issues with evoscan .99 I have not mentioned anything since no one else has those problems yet.

 

By the way I use a LM1 wideband.

 

ok, when i go into device manager, i can see it under com port 5, but it will not log in evo scan. it will say cannot find file, datalogging ended

 

yeah its vista because it cant run alot of proprietary softwares out there. microsoft really made a mess out of vista

 

i mean i can datalog perfectly, only when i try and get it to log the wideband off my innovate, it will not connect to com port 5 and get the reading. I guess i will have to try it on another computer

 

It is not Vista, I can use vista just fine and my LM1 logs like a champ.

 

I might just have to uninstall and reinstall evo scan.

 

Let me ask you are you using a usb to serial converter for the LC1? If so that may be your issues. Some work differently from others. I use a usb to serial converter and I tested 3, 1 did not work. 2 did. Keyspan sells one that works fine, Iogear sells one that works fine, the one I bought at Fry's did not work, forgot the name.

 

ya a usb to serial, it is connected up to the gauge, and i installed the driver, and it shows up under com port 5 on my device manager and everything. but evo scan will not read it.

 

What brand are you using, check for an updated driver from the manufacturers website.

 

I will try that, hopefully lm programmer will work

 

Did you verify that logworks will function correctly? Thats the first thing you need to do in order to rule out the cable/serial-usb adapter.

 

Just for confirmation, using vista ultimate, with lm1 wideband connected to iogear usb to serial converter and open port cable for evoscan.99 working 100% just fine.

 

Log works, works perfectly fine. Drivers installed and everything connected. Only evo scan will not read it......
