hey guys,
i have seen both (datalogit and powerfc pro software) and the apexi pro cable and software is japanese only. i emailed apexi and asked them and there is no english version of the manual or software that the cable comes with. the apexi powerfc pro software looks to do the same, however it doesnt give you access to the airtemp table (datalogit does) and i think datalogit allows you to turn on the fans at lower temps than normal, not sure if powerfc pro lets you. you can download the pro software if you guys wanna have a look at it, its in japanese however. its an old copy thats been floating around.

I say post it for free!!! I shelled out the money. but I'm tired of waiting. I don't see why it takes so damn long to copy CD's and make the databox interface. Its just a RS232 converter. I've got the $350.00 to spend for the software/hardware box but still nothing to show for it.
A friend offered his for a loaner till my stuff gets in. I hate borrowing other peoples stuff. I want my own. The people at Datalogic should just sell the rights to some one that can distribute it faster.
I"M JUST DAMN IMPATIENT!!!!!!!!!

APEX FC commander PRO Full computer control unit Software has just come available. The software for the Power FC has always been very ellusive to obtain. The expense if you could get it was said to have cost Thousands of dollars. Now you can buy the downloaded software just like EXCEL DEALER uses to tune your car.
The software is compatable with OS windows98,ME,2000 and XP.
Only the Hand commander 415 X001 is suitable with the downloaded software. The H/C 415-N001 is not suitable. This kit comes with everything that is in the picture.
Note
Please note, all products sold by Nengun Performance are sold on the Japanese Domestic Market. Therefore the text, instructions and manuals are all provided in Japanese, however we have translated the installation instructions for this product to get you started.
415 X001 FC Commander Pro Software $498.00 AU not including delivery

nah ill leave it up there thanks, so why is it ok for you to reverse engineer the powerfc protocol and make your own app and charge money for it but its not ok for me to keep a copy of the fc pro software, thats in japanese and is completely useless without the right cable?

I don't see any illegal activity to reverse engineer a protocol and write my own app, but it's illegal to offer licensed software for download.

even still offering it for free, i could be sure the powerfc license and documentation states you must not reverse engineer it. i mean i have nothing against what you are doing, i reckon its great and will be very helpful. all i am offering is a download for people to see what fc pro software looks like. if its such an issue ill remove the url and be on my merry way

I don't care if you offer it for download, but Apex'i may. I know some employees from Apex'i USA are on Honda-Tech.com for example, i don't know if they check this forum.

and of course they would love to hear how you've been reverse engineering the protocol to build your own application for it. so go and tell them to release the bloody software and cable and manuals in english its stupid they are in japanese only. they offer a worldwide site and offer the powerfc for all kinds of models, the hand controller is in english but of course the manual and software are in japanese.
how stupid is that???? if it was it english i would be happy to pay for the cable and software but its not so until then its not a suitable product. ill remove the link from the previous thread cos your a sook but seriously , if they aren't willing to release english manual and software then its pointless in all honesty. how good would fc datalogit be if it only came in cantonese. useless

i cant remove the link as the forum has a stupid rule that prevents posts being edited after they are 30 minutes old. so a moderator will have to remove it

And only authorized Power Excel shops have the adaptors and software. Tuning and logging with fcpro software is a lot easier.
