    Tunerpro not connecting with ECM

    I ran Tunerpro on my DELL laptop for a long time.Worked fine .My Dell POS computer died and I had to load Tunerpro on my new laptop with windows 7. Cant get it to talk to the ECM. ECM is a 16168625. Using a Moates Cable that worked fine with the old computer.Is there a link that will point me in the right direction as to how to get a link between my tuner pro software and the ECM? I am not doing anything like emulating, just want to data log...DA link says"No DA connected" Did a cable check and it says it is found and functional. So frustrating. Looked online and cant find any simple links to help, there is usually some links to guys that are emulating, etc. Dont know if I loaded the correct driver,or what. Cant find anything else. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you loaded the ADX?

    Are you using the same XDF and ADX that you have previously used?

    I am using the ADX and XDF that coincides with $E6 on the Tunerpro defs page. This is for the 8625 ECM. The thing that is upsetting is that I cant verify setting with my old computer as the video card went and I cant see anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks Guys!!!!

    Personally (if this was my problem)

    To retain my last remnants of sanity I would pull the HDD out of the old PC or Laptop and put it into a HDD caddy.
    Then just copy the contents of TP5 directory and maybe My Docs?
    That way you can eliminate your TP5 settings and ADX/XDF being the issue.

    Yeah but your obviously a computer guy, so you would have checked to see the drivers were installed for the Moates cable, comport on cable is same as what TunerPro sees etc... does the OP know how to do that?

    I've seen TurnerPro 5.x working on Windows 7.

    I'd look around the windows device tree & verify that you have the correct serial device selected in TurnerPro.

    Any close ADX should give you a log. Reading the data will be a mess.

    I want to thank you all for the advice. It is much appreciate



    With the cable unplugged my computer shows no com ports being used. As soon as I plug the Cable into the computer it shows COM port 3 being used. So I then go into tunerpro and change the correct com port to 3 and test. It says the cable is fine and functioning.

    I wish the old computer was accessible because I would check the settings from that 1. If you guys can think of anything else let me know as I'm going to mess with it some more later tonight. I just don't think there's much more I can do.
