This morning when I connected up, I had car already running. I opened ECTune, selected connect to ostrich in the menu, then connect to datalog in the menu. all of the datalog menu items grayed out and the fuel maps/charts/everything went completely blank and grayed out. I couldn't tell it to stop datalogging so I closed out ECTune , unplugged and replugged the USB cables and opened ECTune again.. then everything worked fine.?

No, I couldn't reproduce yet.. the steps are same as I always do.. turn on laptop plug in both USB (only 2 ports available, plug in any order) load ECTune Emulator->Connect Datalogging->Connect I will try to check that the debug settings are enabled and if it happens again, will have better explanation.

Who knows... it could be a comm port/driver issue. I am using *gasp* PL2313 driver... I have a new FT232RL chip I need to make PCB for.. then things will be much better.
