Trouble ALDL /scanning on TPrt

Hi all
I am having trouble in TPrt when connecting my ALDL cable to do data logging.
It shows that its connected (blue) but all the dash/values/flags/monitors show nothing.
I have the 1618082ads.file to suit my setup...Commodore VR ECU Manual V8 with $12 def file.
I am running a PCMCIA-serial card on an ACER travelmate530 laptop.
Also using the Ostrich 2.0 with no problems.
What am i doing wrong????
Any help would be great
Cheers...Mario

You may have a particularly chatty ECM, in which case you'd need to send silence commands manually before connecting. TunerPro doesn't do this well. ScannerPro does it much better, but you'd have to import the ADS and fix it up, which isn't as straight forward as one would hope.

Thanx Mangus for the info.
I've had a look around for ADX files for the VR tune but havent found any.
Cheers Mario

You can import an ADS file, but in order to get it to work as expected, you'll have to add the silence command into the connection macro. There's an example of how it will look, but for a different car:

I have finally got my USB diag/unit and connects fine to Tunerpro RT but all the readouts seem to be all over the place....eg BLM's change when you press the accelerator instead of TPS % and engine revs read 19250 rpm....I'm using the same ads as above 16183082.
What could be the cause?
Cheers....Mario

An incorrect definition.

Mangus,on the Tunerpro.net site there is a TBD in the ALDL column for the 16183082 ecu and 16183081_12_v2b.ecu bin def.
TBD means....to be developed?
Could be why i'm going nuts trying to make it work....lol

cheers...Mario

Correct - I don't have a definition available yet. I get a few requests for it.
