Why me:shrug: I can't get the log file loaded to the Xcal. I got though all of these steps



When not connected to a vehicle, you will get this message, press OK







After you Press OK, Type in the first 5 characters of the "Get Strategy" from your XCal2 into this box.





For Example, when used on a 2004 Cobra AMZ2 code, The Get strategy results are: FBGI0C6 so you would type in FBGI0







From this menu, you can select the On device parameters you want to log. Put a check box in the sub categories you wish to datalog.



Note: Lowercase values are PID’s which are slower responding than DMRs.

Uppercase values are DMR’s which update faster, but you can only log 15 of them, and they are processor specific.







The Above shows how to select the MAF_COUNTS



You can select up to 20 parameters for the on device configuration menu, If you have more than 20 parameters selected, you will get an error message.



After pressing OK, then go to the File menu and choose Add LiveLog File to Device











Here you choose your Processor type, and type in a file name for the file, and the File Description. If you cannot connect the device to a vehicle, you will need to manually choose the Processor Type.



A list of common processor types are:

After choosing the file name, Press OK to program the XCal2 with the data logging file.

When I click ok it says Open device failed. Then I get System.NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of a object. At SCTXCAL2Livelink.Xcal2Livelink.menufilecreateDLF_[Object sender, EventARGS e]

What am I screwing up now??????

Here is todays latest torture report. When I hit start in Livelink it says device not connected. On the Xcal "Data Capture screen" i hit select which brings up "Setup capture - Select to setup" I hit select then "No capture files loaded" comes up. What now:shrug:

Update. Tried everything under the sun and no luck. Got home early today and called SCT. Tried a bunch of stuff nothing worked. The tech said plug the cable into a different USB port and it worked. I didn't know whether to yell or cry. All that mess because of a bad port.

I was going to say it sounded like a port problem. I know with Vista I have to choose which port the Xcal is plugged into when I open Livelink.

 

[Gallows]

Vista sucks a**. I never considered that it was the port especially on a two month old computer.
