I've merged a couple of PI threads into one, to stop this forum becoming the PI support forum

Please post questions/answers about PI toolbox here, and nowhere else.

Hello,

In our championship we need to make pitstop that last a certain period of time. Now we are working with a stopwatch mounted on the steering wheel. I want to make a math channel that starts a timer at the moment the driver pushes the pit limiter button. I want to place the outcome of this channel as an alarm or something in the display so we can remove the stopwatch and make it easier for the driver.

This for PI offcourse

PI Toolbox generally works from downloads after the event and so would not be of much use. Are you using telemetry?

Hello,

we are not working with telemetry. I thought that i could create a alarm channel activated by the pit limiter. and display thie "alarm" in the display. Maybe there is an outcome with a GPS beacon?

So this isn't a PI Toolbox question but an ECU/Data logger/dash question.

What ECU/Data logger/dash are you running?

I rang them up and they gave me a log in name and password for their FTP site, allowing me to download the (big) file. It may be very powerful, but it certainly is nothing like as intuitive as Motec's i2 or GEMS' GDA data analysis stuff. I have yet to get it to do much....

Pi Club expert and Windows 7

Will it work or do I have to install XP, which I hear is a bit of a pain?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Works fine under Windows 7.

And under Linux using Wine.

Goes for both PI Toolbox and Club Expert.

The only product I have had to use under XP (usually running on VMware under Linux) is the ECU software, but that is because I have an ancient ECU (Pectel T6, still better than most of the modern stuff though)!.

And installing XP under VMware Player is dead easy.

Pi Expert Win V7 and USB adaptor

OK

So ive fallen at the next hurdle, I cant talk to the logger. The USB adaptor worked fine with the old XP PC, but I remember I had to have it in the right USB. How do I tell PI (or the computer) which USB port to use?

Cheers

We downgraded our laptop as well (windows 7 to XP) after doing that we couldnt get connection to the dingle as well. I think you need an PI field update on the dongle. you should contact PI.at least worked with our system..

pi EXPERT and Win 7

Managed to get the laptop to set my logger up and watch channels with Win 7 yesterday. I had forgotten that the PI software cd is version 1.1, but there used to be download on the Pi website (for Xp at the time) and this was ver 1.3. Put this on the Win 7 machine and it worked first time.

Cheers

Just be thankful you're not having to use Analysis V6, which requires a Windows 98 laptop!!!

To go somewhat off topic, has anyone experience of setting up CAN and sensor settings in either GEMS data loggers (DA99-L2) or display dashes? I am struggling, really struggling....

Thanks

I run V6 quite happily under Windows 7. Didn't even have to mess around with compatibility settings.

Don't use it much now since I worked out how to get data from the Compact Logger directly into PI Toolbox rather than converting from Expert.

My Version 6 won't even consider installing, even with compatibility modes, on Windows 7. And even then, it won't talk to the dongle which requires pre-XP drivers... Using it with a System 4 logger, which is a bit ancient!!!

What version of Version 6 do you have?

As for the dongles, half the time they are just industry standard chipsets and the driver for the dongle is available elsewhere (take note anyone that has a Stack USB to CAN adaptor and believe they need to upgrade to a later version of Datapro for Windows Vista/7). Using this and VMware, even if the software doesn't run on your preferred OS you can usually 'bodge it' so at least you don't need an extra laptop to lug around.

I still have a System 3+ in my car, and run the version 6 software on my XP laptop. I've found the best way to do it is to use Vmware Workstation that allows me to host a virtual windows 98 machine which connects to the physical parallel port with the PiDD connected. Works without a problem.

I cant confirm (as I havnt tested yet) but I would think this same config should work on a windows 7 lappie although you would probably need a usb to parallel converter as most current laptops dont have one anymore.
