data logging ?

[tlrche]

So I want to date log for knock and fuel [ add or not ]

What exctally do I log??? There are so many abbriviations ... letters.... numbers. I cant make head and tales of it all.

Can some one tell me [ for dummies ] what to log and excatally where to find it all?

Thanks,
Troy

I think the abbreviation for knock is something like "KNK TOT Retard". The a/f reading on datalogging isn't very accurate but I think for fuel it is something like "Open Loop AFR"

I usually log the following,

ACT
ECT
Open Loop A/F
RPM
MPH
PRATIO
Raw TPS1
Base Spark
Actually cylinder spark cylinder1
KNK TOT Retard

what about long and short term knock.....
Do I really need to update to the latest version? I running the 9r12 version now.

Best adjustments for running catless mids/srt headers?. What are others running?

LT=Long Term
ST=Short Term

It will look something like LT KNK or ST KNK

Short Term KNK is not too bad if less than 3*
Long Term KNK is not good at all.

I am still learning myself.

Each scenario is different, there is no set setting.
There are posts that can give you a lot more info than me, you would just have to search. You might also look at Diablo's section in the vendors section here or maybe Diablos forums.

I would suggest editing that list a tad.
ACT
ECT
Open Loop A/F
RPM
MPH
PRATIO
Raw TPS1(07-up Accel pedal position and Throttle blade position)
Base Spark
Actually cylinder spark cylinder1
KNK ST Retard
KNK LT Retard

and if yer sending some logs to a tuner add these:
1/1 Short term adapt
2/1 Short term adapt
1/1 Long term adapt
2/1 Long term adapt
