 I am getting an echo failure and to check the connection and make sure the ignition is on, which they both are.
I am using the ross-tech cable and put it in dumb mode.
I'm not sure what is going on here. I searched and didn't see this mentioned.  Thanks for the help.

The echo check just checks wether communication works and the K-line is powered.
If you don't get an echo while connected and ignition on, one possibility is
that the wrong serial port is selected (default is COM2), use option -p <COMPORT>
for the correct com port. Or you need to specify option -f (to use an FTDI based cable).

When I tried to log with the newest version, I got an error that said something like "too many variables."  Does the new version have a limit on how many variable you can log?

I thought I went through all the ports one by one but my water pump crapped on me right after I tried. I'll have to wait til I finish my stage 3 build to try again.

So what is needed to make this work with a Porsche 996T ECU? Smiley

For those who are having error -8 issues, like me was a while ago, I found that the problem was my notebook. It is a IBM Thinkpad which cames with an accelerometer and a technology to protect your HD when the notebook get shockes... When it's "on" and you're trying to log data from your car, the me7logger will stop random because your car shakes too much Smiley

Who have IBM/Lenovo notebook's go to: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-53150 and install the application. When installed, you can disable APS protection and have fun with your logging Smiley

This drove me crazy for like 2 days without logging success... hope this can help someone too.

Hi,

absolutly great tool. Smiley

Works perfect for a RS4 B5 with 8D0 907 551K ECU, in connection method "double slowinit".
In older versions without this option there is no chance to connect with this car.
But now it runs stable and fast.
I use it with a AVG4000 cable in transparent mode.

It is a dream to log realtime values with this tool...
There is a great chance to fine tune many things in the ECU.

Tom

Hey, great. Thanks for this tip!
I checked the APS application in the Thinkpad now and it is really often disabling the harddisk.
I will try with disabled APS if I get more stable logging also.
As alternative, I will also try to log onto a Ramdisk.
Must think about decoupling the logger from the writing to harddisk a little bit more to avoid such problems.

I had the same problem back in days with Eurodyne logger. Eventually figured it out and disabled the protection...

Pushing a little bit forward on the logging front ...
Here is my ME7Logger package now available for everybody,
has been tested successfully on different cars.

It consists of two tools: one to generate ecu characteristics files
(similar to properties) out of ecu images, second to log data.
No GUI for klicky guys, no graphics, just console programs.

/sales_mode=on  Wink
Will outperform commercially available tools on speed & flexibility:
 - Up to 50 samples per second possible.
 - Up to 127 independent variables can be logged at same time.
 - Open for expansions: whatever you want to log, you can define it.
 - No fiddling with licenses/hacked programs needed.
/sales_mode=off

- It's free for hobby use,
- It's NOT for noobs. Not a connect-and-log tool,
  before logging you should have your ecu image available.

Last but not least: buy a commercial program if you want
to make someone liable for damages/not working logging tools  Smiley

Update 12.08.2011, some fixes/changes done:
- Experimental FTDI native driver support added, option -f
- Logger start time synchronization added, option -t
- Logger absolute timestamp added, option -a
- Allow TAB's also in trace config files
- Variables zwbasar_<xx> for all available cylinders
- Variables wkraa_<xx> limited to available cylinders
- Minor changes, some variables added

Update 09.09.2011, some of the requested changes/fixes done:
- Single sample option added (result is output just to the window)
- More variables determined for images with code variant (missing tans(IAT) for one image)
- zwbasar_<xx> now really available for all available cylinders
- Some more variables added
- Some alias names added, some changed


Update 02.04.2012 to version 1.17:
(Updated 04.04.2012 the ME7Info in the .zip, fixed path error)
Changes in ME7Logger:
- Reworked general timing calculations, timestamps, sync to full second
- Fixed local time in absolute timestamps (option -a)
- Supress logfile writing when output goes to stdout (option -R)
  useful if output is piped to external evaluation tool/filter
- Added option -m: Timestamp format milliseconds
- Added option -h: supress printing header information in logfiles
- Added option -b: set logging baudrate for communication,
                   override baudrate from ecu file
- connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem)
  To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file:
    Connect      = SLOW-0x00
    DoubleDelay  = 12           ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms)
  This only allows to connect while engine not yet started.

Changes in ME7Info:
- Reverted back to zwbasar_0 .. zwbasar_3
  (Array size NOT dependent on number of cylinders)
- Some variables added:
 + zwoutar_0 .. zwoutar_3
 + zwsol
 + redist / evz_austot
 + lamfaws_w / lamfawkr_w / lamfaw_w / lamfwl_w / lamrlmn_w
 + perffilt_w / perfmax_w   => This is CPU-Load
    It helps in finding out the max. logging capabilities of your ECU.
    Around 90% CPU-Load might be a limit for the ECU.

i really cant seem to figure out to open the file dowmloaded all of them any help//

Logger is really fine. everything visuable with a great resolution! Absolutely great!

But its strange, that the airmass on my 8d0907551d seems to be shown with an offset of about 55 g/s (idle airmass is about 60 g/s).
The rest works really well in double slow init. I wish I could connect in another init, to be able to start logging during the engine running.

Thanks for this great tool!

I've found some problems with some ME7.5 ECUs 2004...2005MY
For example ECU Numbers:
8E0909518BC 0010 0020 0040
4B0906018DQ 0040 0060
ME7Info.exe can't recognize most of definitions.
Error messages list is in attachment.
Any ideas?
