    trouble connecting

    I'm new to this. Trying to connect to my 7747 pcm using tunerpro RT version 5 on windows 7. I'm using moates Xtreme ALDL and cannot get connected? the XDF and ADX are both loaded and the ADX is converted from ADS to ADX per moates instructions for using version 5. . someone please help me get started.

    I've used that and know the guy who worked on it!

    But mine is better...

    If neither of these hook up you need to be sure you have the FTDI drivers, link from Moates, make sure your cable is on Com3 or 4 is best, look under preferences, Data Acq Emulation and check that cable is same Com port. It's not supposed to matter but it happens to me still if I move the cable to a differant USB port.

    You don't need the XDF to get data, it's for making changes to the bin file.

    Ahhh there's a newer ADX AND XDF for the $42 mask eh? Time for an addition to my library of files!

    I might also suggest just seeing if you can connect with WINALDL, just to see what happens? It's not as sophisticated as TunerPro of course and it doesn't require an ADX, but it might help you figure something out for your connection issue.

    I have the driver from moates installed too. Last week i tried using WinALDL and i got no success with that either. I know there was something about winALDL causing problems with tunerpro so i took that software out. Also i noticed moates website says for version V of tunerpro to change the ADX under data transfer to 67 Body size(Dec). If i could only get this bad boy to communicate i'd be :)

    WINALDL has never caused me problems, unless of course I tried to open both WINALDL and TunerPro at the same time Then neither would work until I closed both programs and opened one at a time. I could switch back and forth between WINALDL and TP for logging when I still had my 7747 ECM

    Are you clicking the "Acquire Data Connect/Disconnect" button in TP to make the connection once everything is plugged in? It's two blue arrows, one points left the other right.

    Connect your ALDL to ALDL cable and also laptop. Key on. Start TP. Press "connect" like I said above.
