After turning the car on, connecting the cable, and hitting start datalogger on evoscan, I get this error...

Info: Waiting for INIT Response...
Info: Initializing At 5 baud...
Info: Initialization Complete...
Info: Waiting for INIT Response...
Info: Connection successful...
Error: Unable to open COM1
The system cannot find the file specified
Info: Datalogger Ended.

What is going on?

Thanks

 

Theres your problem dont have it on com port. Set it to USB cable FTDI-FT232

If you have a wideband go into the wideband settings and set the wideband and com port

 

Kreionic,

That was selected...

Any other options?

 

No one?

 

Go to Device Manager under "Ports(COM & LPT)": and match the COM # to the software. At times if its not an onboard serial and you are using a OBDII USB conversion cable it will take another COM #, especially if you connect and disconnect often and also have other types of usb conversion cables(eg. USB>SERIAL). Usualy would be COM6. Anyway might have tried this but just making sure....

 

Thanks, I'll try this tomorrow and see if it helps.

I figured I wouldn't have to do this because the Tactrix cable is a straight up USB cable, there is no usb-serial adapter in the mix.

 

Make sure the wideband O2 sensor option isn't checked if you are't logging one. Thats my problem whenever I forget to plug in my wideband USB cable. Tactrix cables are 'auto find' so you don't need to select a COM, thats why it loads the tactrix files so it knows exactly what to look for with 100% compatibility.

 

^^ I'd bet that its the wideband issue. But also double check in EvoScan to make sure that "USB cable" is selected and not COM1 or Com2 in the upper left hand part of the UI.

 

Yeah, under items to Data Log I had selected Wideband A/F Ratio, I have one but just didn't want to because I dont have my USB-Serial adapter yet...

Thanks for this, I'll try it and let you know!
