I missed having the large screen format of a laptop for setting up my engine - so I created this. . .

I've been using and slowly refining it since last spring and thought others might find it useful. I run it on Windows 10 64bit

The usual serial cable and usb adapter conditions apply. There's enough info about them elsewhere on the forum - so no need to rehash it here.

I wrote it for my own use - and I have found it very useful - especially being able to access the adaptives again. It's available for anyone to try/use - if they want.

Here's the link. . .

Just what ive been looking for the last couple of days, something that will work with a newer laptop. will this work with windows 10 Pro? does it do everything the old software did i.e faults?

Will definitely be downloading this, screengrabs look superb! Not being able to read the adaptive maps tables is the major shortcoming of all the 3rd party apps, there's a host of info in there.

It will install on Win10 Pro providing it's 64 bit - that's what it was developed on. I haven't created a 32 bit installed but if there's a demand I might look at creating one.

It does everything the old app did, but it's now all concentrated in the main Diagnostic screen. Faults, logged faults and control errors are colour coded and tied directly to their corresponding reading.

Logging and Adaptive screens offer recording and loading of historical data.

A user guide can be found by clicking the wee engine icon at the right of the menu bar, or pressing F9.

Once again, the generosity (and downright cleverness) of TVR folk shines through the negativity found elsewhere, thank you.

I just need to get my head around the fact that thr 2 is on the left and thr 1 on the right .. makes it more intuitive for working on sp6 cars though i guess !

That's deliberate. The original software had T1 on the left and T2 on the right. However, when you lean into the engine bay throttle pot 2 is on the left and TP1 on the right. (from the front of the engine)

I've lost count of the number of times I looked at the screen, saw the reading on the left and went to adjust the left pot (or similar for the right reading / pot). Then having to start all again because I'd moved the wrong one.

This way it's automatic. Reading on the left - pot on the left.

Oh - mines a V8. Don't know the layout for a Sp6, but then I made it to make things easier for me and in that respect - it's worked.

Ah, Paul. You are such a generous soul. Thank you, but it's not a money making exercise. Just a wee token of thanks to the forum in return
for knowledge gained here over the past 18 years of ownership.

You just keep pluggin' away at Black Beauty and get her (him?) back on the road this summer. We need to keep as many of these beauties on the road as possible.

Wow what a star. I used to use the old software years ago. I recall specialists having to desperately keep old tech laptops and desktops going to ensure they could keep using the software. Amazing job!

Downloaded and installed successfully, thank you. Looks as though it will be very useful.

However, currently unable to connect to the ECU. The ECU is recognised by MBETool (Evo Oli's software) so I know the cable/USB converter/device driver are all fine.

Tried various device numbers but none seem to work, maybe a fixed COM number is expected? The logfile just says unable to connect to ECU as well.

Has anyone else actually tried this software yet?

Englishman - EvoOli's app is 32 bit and will be using 32 bit drivers to talk to your usb to serial adapter. This is a 64 bit app and hence uses 64 bit drivers. You need to update your device drivers.

Running on a 64 bit machine, this driver is installed.
