pocket logger
 

Hey do you guys know of any other data logging software besides MMCD... I have a palm M105 and thats what I'm currently running of it and I just don't like the interface.
Its a 92 talon AWD (so... OBD1) and thats about all info i suppose you would need for that.

thanks

www.digitaltuning.com This is the "true" Pocket Logger software. It was by far my favorite and well worth the cost.

Re: pocket logger
 

Digital Tunings Pocketlogger is well worth the cost. I just downloaded version 2.03b and it has the capability of logging Wideband o2 through PLX's wideband kits. So you can log everything and now Wideband also. All you have to do is hook up one wire to the car and thats it. So for like 290 for a non display PLX unit and like 150 for Pocketlogger and a palm that is awesome.

Re: pocket logger
 

Than would it be better to just go with a dsmlink for a 1g?

Re: pocket logger
 

Well ive had the software for 2 years.. the Wideband feature is brand new thats why I downloaded it. Upgrades are free...

DSMlink you still need a wideband unit I believe, so 500 for dsmlink, 200 for a laptop, 290 for a cheap wideband kit, thats way too much money for me. Plus who wants to wip out their laptop that you cant see while driving when your on your way to work or whatever. I find having a palm on my dash in great view works just fine. And now logging will be that much better.

Re: pocket logger
 

Good point. Do you have a wide band installed?

Re: pocket logger
 

Don't forget the $100-300 for an AFC. I was very happy with my AFC/Logger setup, if I were to build another DSM I would do the same thing again. Having to use a laptop to tune/log seems like a real PITA to me.

Re: pocket logger
 

Yeah, it seems that way until you do it. Once you go that way you won't ever go back. Just like going to a WB02. It gives you so much more control that it is unbelievable.

Re: pocket logger
 

That is the setup I'll be using. Chris, you still down to help me get it all tuned out?

Re: pocket logger
 

For sure, now that I don't own a DSM anymore I look forward to tuning :)

Re: pocket logger
 

Xpride- I dont have the wideband yet, I have an extra bung arleady welded on and Im planning on ordering the PLX in the next week or so. My car isnt drivable yet...

Yea I forgot the afc and I also have maft so... the cost is about the same then. But I still dont like having a laptop in the equation.

Re: pocket logger
 

Agreed, I was very happy with my Translator/AFC/Logger setup.

Re: pocket logger
 

Good to hear! Once I get off my lazy ass and order my things you know who im calling first!

Re: pocket logger
 

You know where to find me. Are we still on tomorrow for your boost leaks and my X-brace?

Re: pocket logger
 

so what if you already have a cable and the palm, you just need software
that site didn't seem to offer just software

Re: pocket logger
 

Yea they offer just the software, I would send them an email. Because for 125 you get the software and the cable.

Re: pocket logger
 

Don't forget DSMLink does a lot more than just log. You'd need an AEM EMS to match the rest of DSMLink's features. It's worth the money if you ask me, but I also agree that the Pocketlogger is worth the money if that's all you need.

I'm with JET on the Laptop versus palm. I tried the DSMLink Palm software and the PC version is way easier to use. Not to mention faster (minus initial boot).

Re: pocket logger
 

Right from Digital Tuning's site

"We do not sell the cable or software separately. They are sold as one. If you do not have the cable, you cannot get the software from us. Anyone claiming to sell just the software is not selling a legal copy. You will not get any support from us, you are not entitled to any upgrades and we will not issue a registration code to you."

Re: pocket logger
 

^Sorry about that, didnt see that.

Re: pocket logger
 

I thought the same thing at first too, until I read that. That software must be amazing, seeing as how an identical cable can be had for around 40 bux.

Re: pocket logger
 

The software is very nice. I tried the other free ones and always went back.

Re: pocket logger
 

What do you mean? That the software is too expensive? 125-40= 85.

2 years ago that kit cost 175 and thats what I paid, I would still pay that much for the software because its worth it.

Re: pocket logger
 

I suppose, I mean there is a reason that DSMLink is 565, the chip is only pennies, and the cable can't be more than 30, so the markup is for the development of the software.

It must be good, since they are still coming up with updates and still selling it. The pocketlogger that is.

Re: pocket logger
 

so.. my questio is still where do i get the software? I mean I could choke up the $125 for the whole deal, butI would rather not do that if I have the cable already

Re: pocket logger
 

That software is not available unless purchased through them. I am not sure what ways they use to protect themselves against piracy, but I wouldn't try.

Re: pocket logger
 

You have to buy it if you want it... unless you find someone and upload it off them... but that would be illegal ;)

Re: pocket logger
 

I may quite possibly be aquiring a 1990 tsi awd 5spd, all stock. Right now i'm trying to get my hands on an m130 ready to plug and play. I have virtually no knowledge on tuning, and want to learn. Apparently a data logger + afc is a good place to start. any pointers? is it a waste of my time? should i just have lse tune the car in the summer?
