Subject: Free ALDL Software


|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
