Palm TX and RTek 2.0
I have both of those, and I purchased a Serilio (http://www.serialio.com/products/cab...ulti_RS232.php) cable to connect to the RTek since DTI seems to be consistently sold out of theirs. It should work shouldn't it? Am I missing something about how I have to setup the TX to connect to the ECU? Do I need to alter the connection speed, the transfer rate, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm half tempted to go down to Radio Shack and try to pick up either a BT dongle and or a USB/Serial adapter.

Got it working. Needed to turn the car on first while the PDA was not connected to the ecu. Start the program and then connect the TX to the connector. It now works like a friggin' champ.

I think the RTek is just playing games with me now. It's working. i'm now able to log multiple things at once at a sample of 102/104 s/sec

Oh, okay. That's probably why the sample rate is significantly higher now that I can log multiple things.
Of consequence does the O2 sensor error only show up during car operation or will it show up during the normal "On" situation?

I bought this one:
https://serialio.com//store/product_...107307a30d2ca0
But any of their palm multi-connectors should work just fine. They even have one that has a power adapter so you can charge it while in use (i wish I picked that up but I didn't--not really needed unless your going to be doing alot of tuning/logging for extended periods of time).
