RESOURCE

K.K. Ko, "Vehicle Performance Analyzer," Circuit Cellar 110, Sept. 1999.

SOFTWARE

The program for this project runs on any 200-MHz MMX PC and communicates successfully with my performance analyzer (Hitachi micro). Source code plus the executable distribution can be downloaded. Even without the Hitachi micro, you can run the executable to open the *.car files, plot and print the graphs, set up the communication link, and send the password.
