Wondering if there's anyone out there who uses a Dell Venue 8 to datalog with an SCT x4 tuner. If so, id like to know how it's setup. I'm trying to get it work but been unsuccessful. I plug the tuner to the tablet using a microUSB to USB adapter (came with a thumb drive) and it comes up on the device manager. The initial drivers didn't work so I installed the drivers for Windows 8.1 (from Bama). The drivers are good to go with no errors but Livelink will not recognize the tuner.

I use a Acer Windows tablet. I also use a USB on the go adapter and it works well. Maybe the adapter you are using is not compatible. But it's hard to believe when you're saying it shows up in device manager. My guess is your issue is driver related. Too bad you can't try another port usually those devices only have one.

Im leaning towards the adapter not being fully compatible. Im thinking of getting another adapter/cable but a true OTG cable. The drivers were an issue in the beginning but it looks like that's sorted out. Thanks for sharing.

I have the dell venue 8 pro with windows 10 and using the adapter it came with. But sct and live link wont work without .net framework. It prompted me when I was on wifi and had the sct plugged in and opened up livelink.

Ok. I finally got it. Learned this from a year old post from a member here. Had to uninstall both programs (device updater and liveliness), install device updater first and connect the tuner to make sure it recognizes it, and then install livelink. This solved the issue for me.
