Thanks for sharing. Just had to test it and it worked great.

I’m trying to find a way to log some tech 2 functions to the bcm. Can I use captureserial for that? I’m not sure to run it? I’m using cmd it asks what com port? What baud rate and file name? Can I set it up to run my avt 852 on port 3? What baud rate do I use? Were do I enter that info in the program? I’m not familiar with .Cs I have visual studio and can rebuild the stock capture serial program. But changing some strings gives errors? Line 36 was what I tried to change? What lines to I edit?

I cannot answer about it's uses ... I can about it's use and the C#.

Line 36 is not likely a place you would want to modify.

What are you trying to change and why??

It is a command line tool, to run it you would provide the COMx port and the baud rate.
For example, open a command prompt in the directory (folder) where CaptureSerial.exe is located and type,
CaptureSerial COM3 115200
that will dump whatever comes in the port to a file in the current directory based on the date and time

Or
CaptureSerial COM3 115200 Filename.txt
will dump whatever comes in the port to a file in the current directory named Filename.txt.

You need to provide the proper COMx port and baud rate for your hardware and settings ...

Great thanks! I did what you said using a mongoose pro to send the tech 2 commands to the bcm. And then using the avt-852 at com port 5 set at 115200 I get nothing no byes recorded?? Do I need to change the code to view sent messages to adress 40 the bcm? Because pcm would be at 10, on the vpw

If I understand correctly you have a splitter (Y cable) on the DLC, on one side you have the Mongoose, on the other you have an AVT and you are trying to record activity with the AVT while sending with the Mongoose.

Is that the scenario you have going on ??

I do not have experience with either the Mongoose or AVT, therefore I do not know their capabilities!
However, to do the above described scenario, the listening device (AVT in this case) must be in a Monitoring mode.

The mongoose is a standard J2534 device.

The AVT is proprietary, and it does not support the ELM or STN command sets. You would want to use the AVT hex term software to provide an ascii representation of the data. http://www.avt-hq.com/download.htm#Hex_Term_SW You would need to look the pcmhammer debug logs for the AVT, and the sample can monitor .dwn file, and instead set the AVT up for VPW communications. Detailed information about the AVT protocol is here http://www.avt-hq.com/download.htm#AVT-852

As this doesnt have anything to do with PCM Hammer 015, it would be best to start another thread if you need further help.

Yes this exactly what I’m trying to do. Oh so I should try and use a eml327 instead I have one. Too pretty sure.
