Event Log :
Sunday 5th July 2006 - EvoScan v0.8 PreRelease version released.
Sunday 26th June 2006 - EvoScan v0.7 PreRelease version released.
Project Goal:
To support all Mitsubishi MUT-II(JOBD)/MUT-III and Subaru SSM Protocol and Nissan datalogging protocol Models
Note: Only US DSMs/Eclipse and US EVO8/9 support the universal standard OBDII datalogging tools. For japanese imports, other standard OBDII dataloggers will not work. EvoScan is what you need. EvoScan still works with those US Models, although better and faster than the universal standard OBDII datalogging tools, since the Mitsubishi MUT-II(JOBD) Protocol runs 50% faster than ISO9141-2
Data Logger Features:
1) Drag, Drop, and Position any number of gauges onto the screen.
2) Custom selection of any of 10 cool looking gauges (or preconfigured dashboard)
3) Assign data logging item to each gauge.
4) Save/Load Gauge layout/config
5) Log data to csv (Excel) file.
6) Playback csv data log.
7) Log data to screen.
8. main EFI ecu data logging items (ABS/AYC/DTC ecu data items to follow)
9) Calculated Dyno figures and graphs: acceleration / torque / hp
10) AER A/F meter logging support
11) Realtime Graphing support
12) Alerting on data value minimum/maximum/rate of change Alerts by Background colour, and/or by custom alarm sound (wav file).
EvoScan Supported Hardware:
1) I will be putting up a cable for sale that is FT232BM USB cable for the EvoScan datalogger. ($65US) (for Evo7/8/9 I would recommend the OpenPort cable below as it supports EcuFlash factory ecu tuning)
2) OpenPort cable 1.3M uses a built in FTDI FT232BM USB-Serial adapter.
- Colby Boles - http://www.tactrix.com/ ($89US)
- advantage of this cable is that it supports ecuflash only for Evo7/8/9
3) HomeMade for Electronics minded people: beware not many OBDII cables support 15625baudrate.
What you can do is buy a FT232BM($20US+) based usb-serial adapter because this chipset supports any baudrate you like, the PC standard comport cant physically support 15625bps, with the usb adapter then convert the serial adapter voltage levels to obdII levels +0v/+12v using a optoisolater circuit like Andy Whittakers or Jeff Noxon, or use a MAX232 chipset circuit like MMCd.($20US)
EvoScan Registration:
1) EvoScan Registration will be $15US ($20NZ)
- this will allow me to purchase expensive third party charting and gauge controls to make this the best looking and best functioning datalogger around.
- with registration you will get unlimited future releases.
- if you want a new feature added, this will be added for you with priority.
- you will get emailed latest updates released every week.
- you get access to the source code (personal use only).
- Using this datalogger will allow you to successfully see what your car is doing before and after you use tools such as EcuFlash or Aftermarket Controllers such as SAFC-II to tune your car. And you can save and send your results to your openecu buddies to oggle over, and others with EvoScan can even play back your results without being plugged into a car.
- Using the alerting features of EvoScan could alert you to a bad tune or bad fuel, i.e Detonation Knock Counts, Temperatures, A/F ratios and potentially saving you your engine.
Supported Vehicles:
1) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV/V/VI/VII/VIII/IX (Any serial obdII adapter that will support 15625baudrate)
2) 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ (thanks zlancerman) (180->200/total samples per second)
3) Other miscellaneous 1996+ Mitsubishi OBDII Vehicles (support to follow as people test it on their cars - I'm expecting a lot of these vehicles to already work with this software)
3) Subaru SSM protocol support to follow (Any serial obdII adapter that will support 4800baudrate)
4) Nissan vehicle (I have a lot of Nissan protocol information - support to follow)
Supported Operating Systems:
1) Windows XP SP2
2) Windows Server 2003 SP1
3) Windows Vista Beta 2
Source Code:
VB.NET 2003 - MS.NET Framework v1.1
Laptop Requirements:
Requires installation of USB FTDI drivers (installed with ecuflash, or download from www.FTDI.com)
Requires installation of MS.NET Framework v1.1

Basically if it can run Windows XP fine, then the software should also be fine.
This tool will be specific to the initialisation and reading of data from Evos, but I will be making xml configuration files so you can load other cars also. XML file will be something like -> CarModel/ECUSytem/Mode/DataItem/
ValidMinValue/ValidMaxValue/Conversion/Units/FriendlyName/...
