So what did you have to do? Think you could do it for the iPad or iPhone?

 

[kurt24]

Don't you have to connect with USB cable? would love to use a Ipad though if it could be done bluetooth

Just starting to read about this stuff so sorry if I ask stupid ??'s about this stuff

Did you intend to set the target a/f's so lean?

 

[kurt24]

Do you have windows running on your Mac? I just tried to download the EXE file for powerlogger and it wont even open it.

sorry i had to step out for awhile to watch games but i had to install VMWARE FUSION 5 FROM APPLE store , they installed it at the store when i purchased laptop,then had to partition some space on mac to run windows xp apple store did this for me, then down load window xp. but they didm;t install driver the right way on fusion so my wife called fusion 5 and they told her what to do they were very help ful.You have your mac running then open up fusion 5 and then windows is there, then down load power logger as directions say.

I've tried to run my a/f in the 10's and 9's but it seem to run quicker higher up the a/f is, In first gear i also tried to run it in 10- 9 a/f setting and it would not seem to get boost up quick enough befor i went to 2nd gear. I am baseing my times off the power logger when gauges are shown and watch my 0 to 60 mph, then just subtract the times on power logger then do the same for 60 to 100 mph and see if any improvements in time.

Yes i still have to connect usb cable , I also know very little about all this but my wife is very good at it and the genius desk at apple store is good also you just have try to get same person each time when you get there, it took a few trips and phone call to VMWARE FUSION 5.

I was able to get the powerlogger up and running on my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display last night using VMWare Fusion running Windows XP. It was pretty easy to do. One issue was keyboard mapping of the function keys to toggle the graphs. You just need to make sure they are set correctly. Seems to be running as good as the Lenovo I had been using.

Do you have to have Windows XP? Powerlogger will also work with Windows 7, no?

That's true, but XP is less troublesome.

how did you get it to work when macs dont have a cd drive did u use an adapter i have a macbook air too and would like to get a powerlogger

 

[huntsg]

My MacBook Pro doesn't have a cd or DVD. You don't need one to run pl.

 

[czimpel]

Do you have to buy VMware, or is it a shareware program? Also, did you have to buy a separate version of Window, or did it come with it?

 

[huntsg]

Buy both unless you have an old version of windows hanging around that you can use. Most any version from xp on will work.
