Palm Windows OS Datalogging Software?

Does one exist? I'd rather use my Palm Treo with Windows O/S as my datalogging unit as opposed to taking a laptop all the time. Anyone know if such a program/software exist?

I think autotap has a program for this also, why not just get one from ebay for $100. Ive looked at a couple that do live logging, a/f,temps all the stuff you need.

Nothing for Windows Mobile? I emailed Auterra to see but everything seem's to be Palm OS.

And how well do these work with a WB O2?

Get a cheap laptop and call it good. Opens your choices up a bit more since you're not limited to a palm unit.

Yeah, trying to get something to work w/my GPS for more analysis.

I'm guessing the OP has 5th gen... Lucky cuz my 4th gen spits out info at 1Hz... can't exactly use that for dyno info.

Autoengnuity offers a WM5 setup and a bluetooth adapter ftw.

It does say you need 64mb memory on ROM which the Treo doesn't provide, I don't know if you could just install it to a memory card or? May want to contact the manufacturer for specifics.

No matter the CPU speed/memory capacity(yes I know you were referring to software requirements re: data logging software etc), but in your case since the data feed rate is rather slow on your A32 ECU.

Well, not really. If you have a live readout, you can view parameters while driving. i.e. RPM speed, ECT, and possibly IAT's.

But if dynoing or doing a street run, it wont be as much help.

Another alternative, though I'm not sure how far you're willing to go, but there are widebands on the market that offer secondary 0-5v sensor input, and their feed rate is typically ~0.1hz.
