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 tuning =D

 

damn the black text on dark background!

 

On the AP unit itself? Sorry I'm confused =(

 

if you are using the dark blue theme on this website, black text doesn't show up very well....

but anyway... datalogging!!! woooo!!!!

 

Sweet!!!!!

Oh wait... for Subaru only?

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

 

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

 

Check there website it is for the 8 too!

Sorry I was in a hurry to get this info out so I copied from my Subaru forum post 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

 

thanks for the update.

Time to watch Mazdamaniac's thread go nuts with questions...

 

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.

 

That's ok, we all enjoy his avatar images


If I don't answer a quick here please feel free to call us or PM me. Thanks

Cheers

 

Awesome.

 

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

 

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

 

sweet. i hate laptops, and was dreading dragging that thing around in my passenger seat

 

Thanks so much for giving us this feature!!

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

 

how do we pull the datalog off the ap?

 

^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

 

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

 

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

 

Because v1 was never avaliable for the rx8

 

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.

 

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".

 

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