Windows software for rtek control from a laptop
I was just wondering if it would be possible for the rtek guys to make a Windows version of their pocketlogger software, using a regular serial cable for connection to the ecu? Im no programmer, so i have no idea how much work that would be.
From my experience, trying to adjust the timing and fuel tables can be a pita due to the tiny screen on a pda, having to scroll across to reach the whole table.
Dont get me wrong, the pda software works great for everyday logging and minor adjustments, where a bulky laptop is unnecessary.. but for tuning sessions (like after major upgrades, etc), it would make it a whole lot easier and faster, especially with the use of a keyboard and mouse, being able to type the values straight in, and be able to view the entire table easily

Yep, I made a Excel spread sheet to see all the cells, filled it out then spent about an hour entring all the data and smoothing out the timing.
The full screen helps in tracking the transition points, easy to get lost in the small segmented screens.

Is there any way you could email that excel file to me? I am about to get a 2.x and I could use an example/help to go by.
