Could anyone give me a hand with configuring evoscan to log a Motec PLM.
The PLM uses serial
Byte Description Value
0 Header 0 = 0x80 0x80
1 Header 1 = 0x81 0x81
2 Header 2 = 0x82 0x82
3 Data Length 32
4:5 PLM 1 (Master) Calibrated sensor reading Hi:Lo = x.xxxLa
6:7 PLM 2 Calibrated sensor reading Hi:Lo = x.xxxLa
8:9 PLM 3 Calibrated sensor reading Hi:Lo = x.xxxLa
. .
. .
32:33 PLM 15 Calibrated sensor reading Hi:Lo = x.xxxLa
34:35 PLM 16 Calibrated sensor reading Hi:Lo = x.xxxLa
36:37 Checksum Hi:Lo = 16 bit sum
of unsigned bytes 0
to 35

Any help would be appreciated.
P.S: posted in another forum also

 

are you sure thats possible?

says that Communications are CAN, and rs232 is not an output.. can you confirm..
plug it into a comport terminal window on your pc, and screenshot the input bytes for me.

PLM website says:
1 x CAN
1 x RS232 for configuration only

 

RS232 Interface
The RS232 interface is used for configuring the PLM from a PC, and for
transmitting data to third party equipment.
For configuration from a PC, the PLM can be directly connected using a
standard (straight through) 9 pin serial cable.
See Appendix I – PC Comms Wiring for details on wiring to a PC.

Taken from PLM manual
Will get the rest info for you
Thank you

 

Okay I have been trying to get the input bytes for you but I really don't know how. I downloaded "tera term" and gave me just code. Same with real term. I am sure I am not using the programs correctly. I don't have hyper terminal because windows 7 laptop. Any guidance would be helpful.
Thank You

 

yeah I've seen about 20 different free terminal programs for windows7 in the last few years. You are right they are quite hard to find, they internet is becoming a very large place.

give this one a try.

Hope this is it! I can send the logs as well. I took logs in He and De. Whatever that means.
