I recently went looking for alternative tuning & datalogging software for the Quarterhorse. I've used Binary Editor for the last few years, and it's absolutely great software. My only problem is that I'm locked to a single computer at a time, and I have a license for the older version (2010) that didn't have the license-dongle option and for which updates aren't happening any longer. So rather than spend the money for an upgrade, I thought I'd look into the alternatives. Fellow cheapskates might appreciate this, and it may be very old news to some. Don't get me wrong, Binary Editor's worth every penny, but more options are always better than less.
TunerPro RT is listed on the Moates site as one of the alternatives. Their price ($39) is the optional cost of registration. You can download the fully functional software for free, and you're encouraged to register if you like it. Otherwise it works just fine, with a 10-second delay timer when you open it up. Nothing too intrusive, but a good reminder that the folks who wrote this fine software would appreciate a donation.
The major reason for this post is that a lot of the links to software or calibrations I found were outdated (a few years old now), or completely broken, even though the software is still under active development. I was also confused when TunerPro messed up my BIN files from Binary Editor, and the values were all out of whack. So here are some links if you want to check it out, valid at the time of this post:
TunerPro RT v5 Download: http://www.tunerpro.net/downloadApp.htm
CBAZA & GUFB Definitions: http://support.moates.net/ford-tunerpro-definitions-for-quarterhorse/
Other definitions (including OBDII): http://www.tunerpro.net/downloadBinDefs.htm
Plugins (including Innovate Wideband): http://www.tunerpro.net/downloadPlugins.html
QuarterHorse USB Drivers: http://support.moates.net/troubleshooting-usb-driver-installation/
The Quarterhorse pulls and pushes 56k bins, you'll want the "XDF" (tuning definition) from the Moates link above, and NOT the definition straight from TunerPro, which is 64k. You can convert your BIN using the TunerPro "Bin Stacker / Splitter" and have it work with their definition, but this way you can go back & forth between BE and TunerPro without that step.
In the same zip, you'll find the "ADX" (data acquisition definition) which has a few very rudimentary dashboards in it to visualize your data. You can create your own dash using any available parameter, which takes a tiny bit of tech-savvy to figure out where to locate them on the screen or to translate data into useful infomation (an EGR-sensor Wideband signal for example). I've got a modified ADX with a dashboard that has most of those parameters I'm happy to share with anyone who wants it, just send a message.
Happy tuning.
