What's Cobb cooking up?
 
Hello everyone!

So here at Cobb we've been planning and building this new software to incorporate one of the most demanded functions for the AccessPORT. And that is Data Logging! To simply use this new ability all you need to do is update the AccessPORT using the AP Updater which can be found at: CobbTuning.com - Mazda Firmware:

You can find all these new abilities under the "Monitor" selection on the main menu. To retrieve the Data Log you'll need to use AccessPORT Manager which you can find on the link above. The logs are located under "View" -> "Advance" and from there the new window will show you every log recorded. After high lighting which log files you want, right click and download.


This is for the version 2 AccessPORTs only for all makes/models we support.

What's new in this firmware release:

1. Subaru: User Dump feature that allows the user to download their stock ROM if the AccessPORT does not recognize the vehicle.
2. Dongle firmware updated to version 0.42. This process will automatically update the next time the AccessPORT is connected to a car.
3. Added 2008-2009 USDM Impreza WRX STi, 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Auto), 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Manual), 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Spec B), & 2009 USDM Impreza 2.5GT (Auto) support.
4. Boost reading on the AccessPORT used to cap out at 18.4 psi. This is now fixed.
5. Datalogging feature has been added to the AccessPORT.
6. Reorganized menu system for more intuitive navigation.



Also don't forget about the FREE AccessTuner Race software we currently offer on our website! (forewarned it's intended for advance tuning users only). Have fun and happy tuninghttp://www.iwsti.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif =D

Sweet!!!!!

Oh wait... for Subaru only?

Oh... found that 1.3.0.0 firmware for Mazda also has datalogging support. Woohoo!

rotary.enthusiast 12-04-2008 01:03 PM

How much flash memory does the AccessPort have for data-logging, and what is its rated write endurance?

Sorry I was in a hurry to get this info out so I copied from my Subaru forum post :wallbash: I'll edit the post now though =P


The AccessPort Updater will auto detect and download the correct firmware for the AP so no worries there ;)

From what the programmers said that this will hold up to 10 log files (I'll have to confirm) and you can log for hours+ per log. The files are small so storage isn't an issue.

One thing that everyone should know. If you log too many parameters it will slow down the logging rate; ie: the defaults will do somewhere between 6-8 hertz(logs per second) @ 10 parameters; if you lower the number of parameters then it will log faster.

Hey Dan, Any chance you guys are going to develop some sway bars or springs?

Daemos 12-04-2008 03:09 PM

next time I go out I'll play with it and if I need to modify my write up I'll modify it =)

paulmasoner 12-04-2008 03:23 PM

turborx8 12-04-2008 03:26 PM

Thanks so much for giving us this feature!!

You saved me 200$ that I dont have to pay for a EFIDude!

w0rm 12-06-2008 10:37 PM

how do we pull the datalog off the ap?

05rex8 12-06-2008 11:24 PM

^open up your ap manager, make sure your AP is connected to your computer obviously, go to view, then advanced. you can download the file from there

alz0rz 12-07-2008 02:44 AM

do the maps have to be built with the latest version to support datalogging?

gregs 12-07-2008 05:43 AM

how do you know if you have the version 2 ap?

mysql 12-07-2008 06:54 AM

Because v1 was never avaliable for the rx8

r0tor 12-08-2008 05:06 PM

worked very nice for me... except it said the log was made in 2006?!?!?

Yeah AP Manager will say that for all maps and files, date doesn't work, that's a known bug, nothing major.

alz0rz 12-08-2008 07:07 PM

ok.. so I tried it and had 5 things selected to log (AFR, RPM, VSS, MAF and Load) .. I go to Data Log and it says to hit OK to begin.. so I hit that and nothing happens.. it just takes me to the Live Data monitor and everything says "Not Logging".

ShellDude 12-08-2008 08:24 PM

wow, Cobb... ones again blowing our socks off! Thanks again !!!
