Daytona Sensors PC Link Software

Will Daytona Sensors software run on the new Windows Vista?

Yes! We have updated all of our software to run on Windows Vista. If you receive an error message while loading software from one of our CDROMs, you may have an older version. You will have to download the latest version direct from our website.  When installing our software on Windows Vista, you must disable the User Account Control (UAC) during installation as described in the Vista UAC Tech Note. 

Are there issues running Daytona Sensors software on PCs with international versions of Windows?

Our software does not provide multilingual support. Japanese and other international customers using far eastern languages will have to go to Control Panel and set Regional and Language Options to English language as shown below while installing and using our software. Failure to do so will result in various errors in numeric parameters, communications, and file operations.

What PC link cables are available?

The new Nitrous Controller and Twin Scan II products have built-in USB interfaces and do not require any special cable other than the USB cable supplied with these products. 

The WEGO II has an RS-232 interface that connects to the serial port (9 pin D-sub connector) on your PC. If your laptop does not include a serial port, you can use a USB adapter. However, not all USB adapters will work correctly with the WEGO II. Most of the inexpensive USB adapters are intended for interfacing Palm Pilot type devices and do not support all the signals and high data rate required by our WEGO II.

We sell a low cost USB adapter (P/N USBG-232) for $39.50 that has been extensively tested with our products and a range of laptops running Windows 98/ME/XP/Vista. It comes with the correct Windows drivers on CDROM. You can order this part from the WEGO II product page.

I'm having trouble completing the installation of USB drivers on my new laptop running Windows Vista. What can I do? 

A few customers have reported issues. Please read our Vista USB Tech Note for an easy solution.

What is your policy on software?

Real simple - software is free! You can always download the latest version from our web site, make as many copies as you want, and give them to all your friends. We make our money selling hardware. We view software as a sales tool. It doesn't cost us anything. Free software also solves a lot of problems with upgrades. Our competitors don't seem to be able to figure this out. What happens if you buy a product that has been sitting on a distributor's shelf for a year and the software is out of date? Do you have to call tech support and wait until a new CDROM arrives in the mail? Not with Daytona Sensors.
