What's Cobb cooking up?

Hello everyone!

So here at Cobb we've been planning and building this new software to incorporate one of the most demanded functions for the AccessPORT. And that is Data Logging! To simply use this new ability all you need to do is update the AccessPORT using the AP Updater which can be found at: CobbTuning.com - Mazda Firmware:

You can find all these new abilities under the "Monitor" selection on the main menu. To retrieve the Data Log you'll need to use AccessPORT Manager which you can find on the link above. The logs are located under "View" -> "Advance" and from there the new window will show you every log recorded. After high lighting which log files you want, right click and download.


This is for the version 2 AccessPORTs only for all makes/models we support.

What's new in this firmware release:

1. Subaru: User Dump feature that allows the user to download their stock ROM if the AccessPORT does not recognize the vehicle.
2. Dongle firmware updated to version 0.42. This process will automatically update the next time the AccessPORT is connected to a car.
3. Added 2008-2009 USDM Impreza WRX STi, 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Auto), 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Manual), 2008-2009 USDM Subaru Legacy GT (Spec B), & 2009 USDM Impreza 2.5GT (Auto) support.
4. Boost reading on the AccessPORT used to cap out at 18.4 psi. This is now fixed.
5. Datalogging feature has been added to the AccessPORT.
6. Reorganized menu system for more intuitive navigation.



Also don't forget about the FREE AccessTuner Race software we currently offer on our website! (forewarned it's intended for advance tuning users only). Have fun and happy tuning =D

How much flash memory does the AccessPort have for data-logging, and what is its rated write endurance?

Sorry I was in a hurry to get this info out so I copied from my Subaru forum post I'll edit the post now though =P


The AccessPort Updater will auto detect and download the correct firmware for the AP so no worries there

From what the programmers said that this will hold up to 10 log files (I'll have to confirm) and you can log for hours+ per log. The files are small so storage isn't an issue.

One thing that everyone should know. If you log too many parameters it will slow down the logging rate; ie: the defaults will do somewhere between 6-8 hertz(logs per second) @ 10 parameters; if you lower the number of parameters then it will log faster.

Yeah AP Manager will say that for all maps and files, date doesn't work, that's a known bug, nothing major.

ok.. so I tried it and had 5 things selected to log (AFR, RPM, VSS, MAF and Load) .. I go to Data Log and it says to hit OK to begin.. so I hit that and nothing happens.. it just takes me to the Live Data monitor and everything says "Not Logging".
