How To Datalog With TunerPro RT
This website is here to encourage
you to tune on your own. This page may also be used to learn how
TunerPro RT functions, and to create a datalog to e-mail me for my
help too. As you will see, using TunerPro RT for datalogging is a
powerful tool. You may use it for free but should pay the small
registration fee of $39 if you benefit from it. First you need to
download it. I am new to this software and would appreciate any
comments that can make this page better.
When you first get your Moates cable
look at the block your cable plugs into and note the switch. If you
have a mass air car you want to enable the 10k resistor. If you are
speed density you want this switch set to open.

Hopefully you've bought your cable
from Moates.net which has been linked on this site (less trouble).
In the comfort of your home, plug the cable into your PC laptop to a
USB 2.0 port. At this point a screen should pop up saying Windows
has found new hardware and if the correct driver was found you may
proceed below.
If you can't communicate with the ECM you may
need to update your USB driver (make sure you are plugged into a USB
2.0 port). The Driver can be found here. After you download the
driver look to the right under comments and download the Setup
Executable and run it.
USB Driver
From the Tools menu choose Preferences and click on
Dat Acq / Emulation tab and then Configure Plug in Component on the
left. Port type is standard serial for the cable and choose any Com
port in black that is not 1.
In the Configure plug in Component on the right
make sure both boxes are unchecked. For more cable connectivity issues
see this Moates page.

You need to download a definition .adx
for Datalogging (recording) and they're different whether Speed Density (MAP) or
Mass Air Flow (MAF). Right Click and Choose "Save Target
As". Make sure you save it to a place where you can find it
later.
Speed Density $8D
Mass Air Flow $6E
92, 93 Corvette $DA2
1993 F-Body $DA3
Should you wish to perform bin modification using
TunerPro RT I've included links to the required xdf files. This won't
be needed if I'm performing your tuning.
Speed Density $8D xdf
Mass Air Flow $6E xdf
92, 93 Corvette $DA2
1993 F-Body $DA3
From the Acquisition menu choose Load Definition
File and load your adx.
It is now time to initialize
TunerPro RT. From the Acquisition Menu choose Start/Stop Data Scan.
Your engine should be running prior to this.
From the same Acquisition Menu
choose Record. You're now recording data so take it out and drive the
vehicle. Remember, if you don't drive it there it can't be tuned. In
the beginning just do some normal driving and no more than 5 miles and
let it idle at the end. You may only make a minor adjustment like
injector flowrate at the start.
Once you are done and before
shutting off the engine. From the Acquisitions Menu choose Stop.
TunerPro RT will now prompt you to
save your Datalog and naming your file. Make sure to note where you
are saving it to so you can find it.
To load your file into TunerPro RT
you click on the Arrow Up button. With the Histogram open showing a
Running Average the cells begin to populate.
As you can see this is my bin loaded
into TunerCat. Looks like I'm a little lean at 1400 RPM at 35 KPA so I
take 133.514 / 128 = 1.0430781 x 65.6 shown in TC and my new VE value
is 68.5. If it is lean I use 128 and if it is rich I use 124. This way
I get all my values between 124 and 128. The exception would be WOT
where I work it strictly to 128.
