"could not open device for streaming"

Got this errror yesterday after successfully streaming data, analysing and then going back for another run.

Same laptop, same SS version, same cal, same everything - also i can still download logs and read program cals etc etc.

Not dug too far into this - like swapping out current laptop for my old one I uses to use - which i will do later - just wondered if anyone else has ever seen the same?

Yes, I did, last week.

Gave up as didn't have time to investigate.

Yeah I always had this until the other day. My ecu was set to log on rally stages via a cal override switch on the dash and when I tried to stream the switch was always off.

If your issue is the same, check your logging criteria first.

Thanks chaps - mine turned out to be related to the fact that the engine wasn't actually 'running' at the time - was trying to capture start up knock signal and include in the overall streamed log - hadn't ever had need to do this - didn't note that the steaming doesn't start until engine is actually running (apparently)...

To log without the engine running, put the start engine speed and stop engine speed both to 0.

Cheers Slowie! I didn't realise that!
