Bryan (or anyone that knows for that matter),
I decided that I want to start logging my SST temps using this method of logging. The following is what I put in my logcfg.tct file:
This doesn't seem quite right. My test log only logged values of "419". I did some reverse calculations and came up with a value of 255. If I were to use the EvoScan calculation (x-50) for this (from the "2009+ Ralliart Evoscan addresses / info" thread), my log entries would be 205.
My test log was only about a minute long at idle w/ 1 throttle blip, but it was long enough to register changes in AIT, MAT, and ECT, but like I said the SST Temp didn't change during this time.
Does that information look correct for the logcfg.txt file? Or is the stand alone logger not capable of logging this particular address?

Pretty sure that "paramid" wants a memory address (for type=mrmacan mode), and "CAN28-0" isn't an address. 255 is probably just the unit's code for "WTF?".

Yup, they will need to add a new method to support the CAN requests.
I was wondering, how do I change it so I log in KM/h vs mph. Not sure if there is some way to change the scaling for this to work, but thought I would ask since not used to mph.

Code:
paramname=Speed paramid=<whatever> scalingrpn=x,2,*
Code:
paramname=Speed
paramid=<whatever>
scalingrpn=x,2,*
sampgroup = 1
Sorry, that was a lot more information that you wanted to know. The answer was "x,2,*".
Rich
i must be a goof ball too,
so above in order to change mph to km/h
for a 2009 we change:
paramname=Speed
paramid=0x8087EF
scalingrpn=x,1.26,*
sampgroup=2
to
paramname=Speed
paramid=0x8087EF
scalingrpn=x,2,*
sampgroup=1
to get km/h?
you talk about change the sampgroup and the scalingrpn is this correct?

"sampgroup" is unrelated. That is just a way to organise groups of logging items that are treated in "round-robin" fashion.
Like... if you configure four logging items, and put the first three into "sampgroup 1"...
Logging_Thing_A sampgroup=1
Logging_Thing_B sampgroup=1
Logging_Thing_C sampgroup=1
Logging_Thing_D
...the OP2.0 will log like this:
Logging_Thing_A
Logging_Thing_D
Logging_Thing_B
Logging_Thing_D
Logging_Thing_C
Logging_Thing_D
Logging_Thing_A
Logging_Thing_D
Logging_Thing_B
Logging_Thing_D
Logging_Thing_C
Logging_Thing_D
...
etc.

ahhh makes sense. also if you put 2 in its not the exact to km/h, if the math is done right and you want the exact km/h its 2.0478, but like you said speed at this point doesn't matter as its just for reference.

can someone help me verify the address for cruise light on-off ? the logcfg file i downloaded off first page has a comment saying this address is "incorrect". I want to use this feature to start-stop the logging. (2009 USDM/CADM)

Engine Coolant Temp seems to have a wrong address, or something else is not right. The linked logcfg.txt file in 1st post, when I uncomment the section:
;paramname=ECT
;paramid=0x808647
;scalingrpn=x,1.8,*,40,-
Seems to only give me a reading 258.8. That can't be the temp 0.4 seconds after cold start all the way through varying ambient conditions to shutdown...

Thank you Rich.
Are there any other worthwhile/newly discovered parameters worthy of monitoring?
I'm mainly keeping an eye on knocksum, timing advance and fuel trims as I'm looking for the academic challenge of tuning for low octane E10.
