Datalogging - from car to laptop

iam going to see if i can get in contact with that person who bought a set, I doubt it though since its been ages. Lets see though. If not here then in 2 weeks when iam in the UK i'll have a look there! Seems there are way more FTO parts availaible in UK than here!

I have a data log setup for my GTO. My model was neither the OBD1 or 2 and is the hybrid that Ben mentioned earlier. I'm sure the plug is the same as the one my FTO had but who knows if the same protocol is used.

If someone wants to have a go of mine on their FTO I'm happy to oblige. It was expensive though so I might ask the people I got it from if I can do any damage to it etc.

if you go to the hand held halo data logger website hybrid protocol for vehicles such as the fto will be released jan 7.

Mine is a HHH logger I can't see that release info you mentioned. It does say the FTO compatibility is To Be Confirmed.

Either way I've shot them an email asking what will happen and then if the response is something positive we'll just need an FTO to check it out on.

Ok reply from HHH is below. just need a willing test monkey now. Any volunteers. The relays he's speaking of are thermo fans etc which you can test using the software.

The FTO question is a very interesting one and if I'm honest this is where your help may come in very handy. We have no reason to believe the Hybrid Logger won't work on 1995-1999 FTO's but testing opportunities to confirm this have never materialised. As our Hybrid logger is a passive logging device except when switching off/on relays it will definitely not harm either the car or your Kit. Initially until you have established and confirmed a connection please refrain from trying any of the relays as these may be different on the FTO. Assuming you establish a connection OK, fault code reading and datalogging should work.

Ive got the EVOScan software running with my FTO (96 GPX) - OBDII

Gives you lots of information - now to make sense of it all . . . . .

Also picked up an error code while I was there

ooo hows he software JAYME? have you used it while your driving? Does it disable ABS this software because its oging in to diagnostic mode.

Dr_Jones · Post by **Dr_Jones** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 8:57 pm

I'm happy for anyone in brissy to have a go at mine. For the GTO at least ABS is NOT disabled with the HHH logger. Can monitor basically everything that has a sensor. Also has the option of adding your own sensors to the system.

I got it mainly to monitor knock and IDC but it's nice to see everything.

Yea the software seems really good - information overload really. I need to take some time to understand everything. As I said I picked up an error code (62 Intake air control valve position sensor).
Error codes just show when you plug the cord into the MUTT plug without the software ill add (the flashing engine light)

Yes I have had it on while driving around - gives good real time info as well as playback later - only issue I picked up is it constantly showed my speed at 2900km/h which would be impressive

Didnt have abs light on - cant say I really stepped on the brakes to find out though - will test later today once I put my intake manifold back together.

Some pics off my laptop

Main screen - allows you to filter what you datalog ect - does show real time data as well

Graphs from a wee drive - can filter whats shown with the boxes on the left

Some of the guages -

Here's a shot of the Hand Held Halo software. Looks good and works great hopefully with the FTO.

Knock readings would be really intresting. Looks like the howl packgae is only about $100. Cable and Software.

If thats the case I will get it.
