then how do street tuners log it?

[discostig]

MAP, BAP and a calculation which I forget. I did it on my own car recently and graphed in excel from the CSV output in LiveLink 6

Edit

That's manifold pressure and barometric pressure, calculate the difference and covert to PSI instead of whatever metric it logs in (hectopascal? hPa?).

Also DJKice here in WA has a plugin thing that wirelessly talks to his iPhone, which then outputs the digital gauges to the cars LCD.

I probably ordered the same device. Kiwi wifi from plx. Wifi to iPhone. Hopefully it will arrive today and I can find out what it can do.

That's the one! I have to use a full laptop to log with the XCAL3, would like live playback onscreen - but I have the monochrome LCD anyway

Yes most decent Scantools have "live data" viewing/recording functions. The two that I use most is the Hanatec or the G-Scan. The G-Scan has the advantage over the Hanatec in that it can record this infomataion for play back.

Any more news on the iphone app?

The xcal2 and 3 are the best tools on the market and if you disagree then you don't understand it's capability. I have an innovate LM2 that does live playback etc, but the xcal is the go and no generic scan tool can compete IMO. Street tuning an XR can only only be done with an xcal also.

I can log

RPM

Vehicle speed

IAT

Ambient temp

Throttle position

Pedal position

Oil temp

Coolant temp

Gearbox fluid temp

Cyl head temp

Timing

Torque Converter slip (and temp as well I think)

Cat converter temp

Barometric pressure

Volts

MAP sensor

Gear position (gotta figure this one out)

Wastegate duty cycle

Others as well, but the above are the more usfull ones I think. that's reading from OBD2 codes and some specific Ford codes,

[Stazza_Brendan]

Also get

02 volts (working out afr)

Fuel level

short and long term fuel trims

Injector pulse width

Calculated load value

That's not bad Stazza!! What are you using?

From a steet tuners perspective there's alot more you still want that I'm not sure the generic tools can do..although they have probably come along way.

Anyway 'most' people now have an X2 or X3 which is a brilliant logger, I just can't see what you would fork out cash for a generic?
