giving up on Datamaster

[phoonrt]

dose the type of computer matter on setting the ALDL link timing??cause this sucks, i can't get it to work, and i am hearing more knock these days...also i took the aldl down and everything seems to be connected fine....its like :banghead:

Shouldn't matter what type of computer you have.

Are you sure the Com Port Works?

 

[TurboTYPHOON]

Are you plugging th cig. lighter in?

Mine didnt work until I did this!

Are you using an USB-to-serial adapter?

Mine seemed to work best @ the 195 setting in the serial Port.

i work late(some times) but i am close by(i even drive by 73 everyday on the way home from work) if you wanted to check your cable on my laptop or ty, i would say my cable on your ty but i just hid it under the dash when installing my white gauges.

also forgot to mention that i i really know about datamaster is if the o2's, volts, and knock are good or not.

sounds like a plan --also i have the ALDL tester thing--passes all tests, com is working fine too--i don't get it

TTS's ALDL tester program may or may not mean anything on my cables. It's designed to test their cables, and I've never even seen one. I did test all of the cables before I shipped them out, but it's possible that something could've happened to it in shipping. If you hook up with someone else, try using their known-working PC and cable in your truck. That will verify that there isn't some problem with your truck's wiring or something. Then try swapping in your cable. If it doesn't work, then there's most likely something wrong with your cable. If it does work, then it's probably a computer setting.

I honestly don't know what all those settings do, but mine didn't work at the defaults, and does work at whatever I ended up on in the 190-200 range.
