Free ALDL Software

[Paul Blackmore]

Hi All,

Recently I made available some ALDL software called probe.exe. A new version 
(version 1.3) of this software is available at 
http://www.users.bigpond.com/paul_blackmore/CProgramming.htm

The latest version contains some bug fixes and a new log file format which 
is compatible with a new application that I am about to release called 
CarBytes.

CarBytes is completely 100% free of charge I'm not charging any money for 
this software, I wrote it because I needed it and I've seen a lot of posts 
on this list about people wanting to "read" their ALDL data streams. Lots of 
people have helped me out on this list - I'm just giving something back :)

CarBytes is a full featured ALDL analysis and charting application.
It is 100% customisable for ANY ALDL data stream: If you know what values 
are in the data stream you can configure CarBytes to display them as 
numbers, real-time-scrolling graphs or bit-flags.

It is written for Windows 95/98/NT and requires data be input to the PC via 
the serial port. (Using a TTL to RS232 converter like a MAX232 circuit)

Features:
  Up to 128 (this can be increased if necessary) individual values can be 
tracked simultaneously. Including malfunction flags and status flags.
  Up to 3 charts, each with up to four series can be charted simultaneously.
  Charts are fully customisable.
  Built in "Formulas" can be applied to the raw byte values to generate 
"proper" units of measure. I want to include more built in formulas but I 
don't know how a lot of them are calculated. Let me know if you have any and 
I'll include them.
  High and low water mark alarms can be set and fail counts are generated 
for values outside the high/low water marks.
  Recording and playback of data streams.
  Multiple ALDL data stream formats can be configured.
  Pause and single step modes.

  If anyone is interested in this software let me know. If there is enough 
interest I'll be posting it sooner rather than later. I.e if no-one is 
interested I won't bust my guts to have it ready this weekend. If lots of 
people want it then I'll get it done. I need some sort of motivation.

Cheers
Paul Blackmore
