Could not get DataViewer to talk to Predator and car
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 4:30 pm
Hi
I downloaded the DataViewer to my laptop, which runs Window7; the Predator is for a 2006 Ford GT. After I plugged in the Predator to the OBDII port and connected the predator to the laptop, via a new
Serial to USB cable, this is what I've experienced:
1. The predator screen shows "Tool is under remote control"
2. Under Control Panel of my laptop, under Hardware, it indicates "cable is working properly"
3. Bottom right corner on laptop screen shows "Connected"
4. The laptop screen shows "acquiring vehicle......".
That is all I got!! It doesn't look like the DataViewer recognizes my FGT or the Predator connected to the car.
Then, when I tried to load and review the logged data saved in the Predator when my tuner did the dyno run, I get a message: "the problem reported was commend not supported"
Then, when I clicked the Acquire Car Info icon on the tool bar, the laptop screen shows "acquiring vehicle info......"
Basically, the components are not communicating... Please advise.
Thx!
