diagnostic software tvr speed six options

[ochten]

After 15 years my Toshiba windows 98 laptop died. With the old software resetting was easy. Now I have to buy a windows 8.1 or windows 10 old laptop to do the same.

I can.t use the old software anymore because it is used till windows XP
The latest software of EvoOlli is stopped by my Anti Virus of my desktop 8.1 ( It has a 9 pins com port)

The app of the android version of the RSiAJP is not active

What are the Options now?

[EvoOlli]

My software ist stopped by an Antivirus-Software ? So you should change the Antivirus.Program :-)

Hi,

I use version 0.95 of the MBE Tool this works fine on Windows 10.

Serial port is provided using a USB to RS232 adapter (Drivers must support MS Windows 10)

Anti Virus - MS Windows Defender - does not block MBE Tool

[ColdoRS]

I use EvoOlis MBETool ver 0.97 on Win10 no problem.

With a USB>Serial converter.

[ochten]

Used a Windows 10 notebook download the 0.97 version. Put the Plugable rs232 to USB in the notebook. selected the COM port (5)
Used a Sagaris mouse (!?)

Ignition on, pump is running. Zero!

Just part of the screen is filled. Buy a stronger Windows 10 laptop?

I've been playing with the various software / hardware bits and pieces recently. I've had a 9 pin D to TVR cable for ages but wanted to update my 'system' so have bought various USB-RS232 adaptors, some of which didn't work at all, one worked slightly and one that worked completely.

Evo Olli's software will run on any spec Win 10 laptop (I've run it on quite low spec machines) but the TVR MBE software will only run on 32 bit Win 10 machines, not 64bit machines. First, you have to install NTVDM - oh and that's it!! Details here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibi... or the command (via Command Shell as an admin) is DISM /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:NTVDM Don't forget, that when you exit the TVR Software, you need to hold Ctrl when you click the X, else it logs you out of Windows.

The adaptor I bought that works with both Evo Olli's software and the TVR software is this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-Converter-Prolifi...

Having just re-read your post - with Evo Olli's software, have you selected the right COM port? The TVR software will only work on COM1 or COM2 (F10 to change) so you might need to go into Windows Device Manager and check your COM port settings perhaps?

If you want to still run the old XP ver on a win 10 machine you can , just load oracle box (free download) then load a virtual XP image into oracle box - add the speed six software and jocks your auntie ,

Thanks for the support. Ordered the Sabrent RS232 cable by Amazon.
Try to fix it after i got the Cable. It is the chip in the Cable that is important?

[S6PNJ]

Yes, it's the chip. It is a Prolific chipset - the one in the Sabrint device is a PL2303 RA - I've tried other devices with PL2303TA and PL2303HX and neither would connect to the ECU. On your car's wiring, are you trying to connect to the 3 pin plug or have you got the 9 pin D or a OBD style plug? Mine the 'old' style 3 pin plug.

I have the 3 wire connector (Tuscan 2001) The old windows 98 started to stop the pg up and down button. Time for a more modern Solution.

I.m not sure that the light Asus notebook is the best start. Perhaps I need a old good working Laptop with Windows 10

Great - same connector as me (mine's a 2001 build, 2002 registered Tuscan). The software works fine in a 1GB RAM Linx 8 tablet running 32bit Windows 10 which has a very low spec processor and that handles it fine (processor is an Intel Atom Z3735F).

[ochten]

In short, my Asus Windows 10 notebook 64 bits is wrong, i have to convert this to 32 bits. Or buy an other one with Windows 10 with 32 bits The right Sebrent rs232 USB cable, selecting port 1 or 2 and it must be running?

Other tips?

[S6PNJ]

No, you only need 32 bit Windows if you want to run the TVR MBE software (yellow Cerb background - unless you've changed it of course!). Evo Olli's software will run on (from my experience) any Windows software from at least 7 upwards, 32 or 64 bit. The TVR software only has options for COM1 and COM2 but Evo Olli's can select (pretty much) any COM port.

To connect to mine, I use the USB Sabrint cable into my 9 pin D to TVR cable into my car's wiring. Switch ignition on, 'unlock' engine immobiliser (ie make sure car is ready to start) then run the software - it should just connect (assuming you've selected the right COM port etc).

I use a virtual machine on my Macbook Pro to run the original diag software. works ok. More often than not though I end up using MBE Easimap to do more comprehensive datalogging...

[ochten]

the first used Plugabel cable has the pl2303HX chip inside. Should be wrong.
Ordered the Sabrent cable by the link.Model CB 9 P6F
Received from Amazon the CB-DB-9P. ( same model ?)

Still no contact by this cable. Can.t find info that the CB-DB9P has the wanted PL2303RA chip inside.

Mine is the CB-9P6F. If you go to the Taiwan Prolific website, you'll find an application that tests for genuine Prolific chips and it will tell you the type - see here and go to the bottom of the page https://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?pc... Look for the PL2303G Series software download. Download the Windows one (top link) and it will have a number of files inside, one of which is the authenticity checker.

[ochten]

it seems that your CB-9P6F is not the same Family as mine. I don.t know what chip is inside the CB-DB9P but it could be again the wrong Cable. grrrrr

Do I need the specific download for the CB-9P6F to make the cable
talking with the ECU and the software? Also for the TVR software with the USB connection?

[S6PNJ]

I don't know where that screen shot comes from but it's not from the Prolific site I was talking about (or at least not one I've seen). From this link on the page I gave you - https://www.prolific.com.tw/UserFiles/files/PL23XX... you get a number of files which looks like this:


The second file in that list is "PL23XX-checkChipVersion_v1020.exe" which is what you should run when your cable is plugged in. Select your COM port that the cable registers as and it will (should) tell you the chipset. Mine looks like this:



As long as Win 10 loads the drivers for the cable, you don't need anything else. There was a CD enclosed with my cable but I didn't use it - Windows update found the right driver without me having to do anything. My driver is dated 11/11/2021, version 3.8.41.0. I then plug the Sabrint cable into my laptop (or tablet), plug the "9 pin D to TVR plug" cable into that and then connect that to the car wiring via the TVR 3 pin plug. Rest is as above.

[ochten]

the screenshot is from Sabrent. I have to look into the Cable I received which chip is insite
