I was partial to my v1.3 cable too for simplicity and no flashy lights. But the 2.0's continous logging feature has grown on me. I have a 32gb microSD in it and just let it log away. I check the logs whenever I'm questioning the tune or something weird happened. Ex: I see how the car handles my tune on street vs. 20min lapping session and change my tune as needed. Its like having a dashcam for your tune basically. 
Are you able to stand-alone log ACD and EFI at the same time with the OP 2.0? If so can you post up your logcfg.txt file? - I've not been able to get mine to work.

Can't log both at the same time. As far as I know openport can open a communication line and only focus on one or the other. But I haven't tried tbh.
I can get OP 2.0 to log EFI MUT II parameters in standalone mode but I cannot get it to log ACD MUT II values. Do you know what command is required in the logcfg.txt file to do this?

Try this as a test:
type=mut2
paramname=GForceSensorAcceleration
paramid=0x1D
scalingrpn=x,2,-,64,/
paramname=GForceSensorAcceleration
paramid=0x1D
scalingrpn=x,2,-,64,/
You probably have a evo 7 acd ecu with ayc support. You will need a xml for that specifically.
I tested this today and unfortunately it only logs 0x1D from the EFI Mut (which is Airflow per rev). I will call Tactrix next week and ask their advice.
If I can't log the ACD MUT channels then it's impossible to see the effect of tuning changes. I also tried using my old 1.3U cable with EvoScan 2.9 to log ACD, but since I installed the Tactrix OP 2.0 drivers, the cable is no longer recognized by my laptop. :-(
I tried uninstalling Evoscan, uninstalling ECUFlash 1.44, rebooting, reinstalling ECUFlash 1.44, reinstalling EvoScan 2.9 and rebooting - still the 1.3U cable is not recognized.
Does anyone know if it is possible to log ACD channels with the 1.3U cable?

Honestly, whenever I logged ACD I did it with my laptop directly. Mostly cause I'd hit log right before doing something with the car and then stop log. I find the very large continuous logging files difficult to sort through to find the event I was looking for.

Thanks for responding. Please can you clarify what you use to log your ACD directly? Is it a Tactrix 1.3U cable and Evoscan 2.7/2.8, or is it with a Tactrix OP 2.0, USB cable and Evoscan 2.9?
I'm simply trying to find the right combination of cable and software needed to log the ACD.

Already did all this, I still get the no response from vehicle ECU when trying to use Evoscan.
What i'm thinking is that my PC drivers are no letting the openport to read acd ecu :///
