DashDAQ PC Released!

Drew Technologies has now released DashDAQ PC for sale. DashDAQ PC is a PC-based application that offers the same gauges, data logging, diagnostics, and performance measurement features contained in the DashDAQ Series II and DashDAQ XL. DashDAQ PC installs on your Windows Vista or Windows XP computer and uses any Drew Tech J2534 interface to communicate with your vehicle.

This new software will allow technicians using a J2534 tool for reprogramming at the repair shop to perform enhanced, manufacturer-specific diagnostics. It also gives hobbyists and CarPC owners the functionality in the original DashDAQ with the freedom to pick your own PC and form factor. Windows Computer and Drew Tech J2534 interface are sold separately.

DashDAQ PC Features



Engine Diagnostics.
Why did your Check Engine light on? Plug in DashDAQ PC and find out now. DashDAQ-PC performs Generic OBD2 diagnostics + Enhanced Manufacturer-specific diagnostics. It will read and clear the check engine light on any 1996 or newer vehicle. It can also show freeze frame data and emissions testing information.

 
Data Acquisition. Use DashDAQ-PC to store days, weeks and months of what your vehicle is doing. DashDAQ captures hundreds of samples per second. It collects data from multiple sources and organizes it into a single time-stamped log file. You can record OBD2 signals that are displayed on your gauges, or setup logging of off-screen signals.

Enhanced PIDS. DashDAQ and DashDAQ-PC are unmatched in their support for enhanced, manufacturer-specific, support. We support over 10,000 Manufacturer-specific parameters, can communicate on all OBD2 vehicles from 1996-present, and often use special OEM-specific communications methods to get data out of the vehicle even faster than OBD2, sometimes up to 200 times per second! You won't find that anywhere else in a comparable package!

Performance Testing. Want to improve your car's performance? Use DashDAQ-PC's signal tree to launch your run. See your reaction time, speed, and run time. Record the run, and do it again. Track your improvements. DashDAQ let's you test pre-defined Acceleration and Deceleration tests, or you can setup your own performance tests based on configurable start and stop triggers.

 

Fuel Economy. See your vehicle's MPG fuel consumption in real-time on your PC's screen. Check the MPG claims. Get a base line measurement. Then change your driving habits, or make modifications to your vehicle and easily check the results.

Customized Digital Gauges. What gauges do you want to see today? DashDAQ’s gauges are totally customizable. Want to view the relationship of 2 or 3 parameters? Have DashDAQ put them together on 1 screen. Want to see 24 at once? DashDAQ can do that too. Pick a theme to match your vehicle or even your own personality. Like dial gauges or digital gauges better? Or maybe graphing is more your style? It’s all up to you. Click HERE to see more about customizing DashDAQ’s screen.

J2534 Flash Compatible. DashDAQ-PC was designed to work with Drew Tech's J2534 flash tools. This allows the end user to perform J2534 Flash Programming and DashDAQ-PC diagnostics and data acquisition functions all from the same vehicle interface.
