Danieln, the "x" is strictly for logging with serial cable under the "external wideband" option.
the placement for the formula you input is for the "wideband AFR" option shown here:
I just realize that after I read more of your posts.
Thanks a lot

You're formula is correct for an ideal analog input, but often there are ground offsets in the analog input signal. When I checked my rear O2 analog input, there was a consistent offset of around 3/255 which is approximately 0.1 AFR for my LC-1 calibration. See this post:

If the AFR read via the analog input is low, then add to the offset, e.g., use:
0.03913*x+10.2
If its reading high, then subtract the amount its reading high, e.g., use:
0.03913*x+9.8

Assuming that WOT is richer than idle, then to get the analog out to match the gauge, you need to decrease the slope (multiplication factor) slightly increase the offset a bit. If you tell me your AFRs at idle and at WOT for the guage and the analog out, I can work out the correct formula for you.

Not sure I have time to analyze a log. Try 0.03693*x + 10. With that slope, AFRs should be high/low by the same amount at idle and WOT. Adjust the offset to get rid of any difference.

i think i may have figured out why the analog is off.. i have 2 harneses for my car so i have tons of ecu pins and looking for a pin i noticed that the wire going to the rear o2 (from the spare harness) has a plastic wrap over it. so i pealed back a little and found that the o2 wire is surrounded by insulating wire connected to a ground wire so i cut the whole thing and used it. im wondering if the insulated wire thats grounded is used to stop interference /static? like how a room with alot of copper piping will stop cell phone signals. i havent been able to test this as that i just installed it (yay) and the o2 sensor i buy is dead (fml) . so let me know your input on this.
