Get your ECu Internal ID#, write it down, go onto the openecu forum and search against that number, thats not an unusual rom and there's probably an updated definition for it.
The default XML definitions that come with ECUFlash are a little outdated. You HAVE to update the definitions to the most current ones you can find. I suspect that the reason for this is the software is an independent development from the map definitions people are creating. And there had been some argument that some of the user contributed definition files were "Pirated" from other software and for legal reasons its safer not to include any new ones with the ECUFlash software.

Hi
EVOScan logging stops randomly.
It seems that it happens less often if I untick some of the elements to log
I am not using a slow laptop .. it's got a 1,8 Ghz cpu and 1gb of memory.
I have tried reinstalling and that didnt solve it.
Mitsulogger does not have this problem but there isnt support for my AEM WB in Mitsulogger so I am stuck with EVOScan
Any ideas on how to solve this are surely appreciated
regards

I noticed this too with Evoscan, it was one of the reasons that I decided to write my own program. It has very little to do with the speed of the computer, its really just that evoscan occasionally gets timeout errors and its solution for the error is to stop logging, than to try to continue. Mitsulogger handles communication errors differently.
The good news is I should have some time this upcoming week to fix the ZT2 bugs I came across, add some new features, and I'll probably add AEM support, but I'd like to actually do it with an AEM unit in hand, but AEM nor any vendors have come forward to loan/give me a device to develop with so I'll write a simple simulator that I can use instead.

Mine stopped all the time until I realized it was the anti shock protection on my thinkpad laptop causing the hard drive to stop. Now if I disable that I can log indefinitly in evoscan. The weird thing is Mitsulogger never stopped on me.
Hope you can get the AEM support in there MJ.

Good point .. I need to try disabling it
thanks for the tip Mr. Evo IX
And I surely do agree ... would be lovely to get AEM support in there.
I would send you my AEM MJ if I wouldnt be on the other side of the Atlantic ocean

The shock protection feature freezes disk activity, in turn it freezes disk writes which will cause the buffer of the serial port to Overrun.. Mitsulogger is immune to this error as it has a large circular buffer, plus it recovers from buffer overrun by continuing reading the port instead of timing out. The disadvantage is this could result in data loss, but I felt it was the lesser of two evils as I would have this happen EVERY time I ran Evoscan on my drive to work.

The problem is block writes using "Proper" buffering leads to more data loss if the application misbehaves.. I'm actually surprised that this isn't handled better
