Select data logging. Monitor etc. With show a live reading with the engine temp running in Fahrenheit.Very easy.Better still download the software on the Herrod website. It is fantastic.http://www.herrodmotorsport.com.au/SCTPerformanceTuning/SCTSoftware/LiveLinkDataLoggingSoftware/tabid/261/Default.aspxDownloadd the software to your laptop.Plug the xcal into the serial port, then into the laptop while driving. I use some velcro and put the laptop in the passenger footwell. (Lots of tape on trackdays too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobey Awesome...

You can do this via the software that is on the Herrod site, however it has limitations, logging via laptop is best as it allows you to capture a large amount of data (up to 25 PID's IIRC).As stated you will have to do the conversion from fahrenheit, but once you get the data you can make pretty graphs....
