How to data log

[burt ragio]

I have a sct xcal 2. How do I data log engine functions ? What functions will it record ?

1- get a copy of LiveLink
2- load it on a laptop PC
3- open Livelink and plug the xcal into the obd2 port make sure the software see's the xcal (*use a usb cable to connect the xcal to the pc*)
4- select the sensors you want to record (pick 5 out of like 80 listed)
5- press the record button and watch the meters and bar graph dance
6- drive it like you stole it

You can change the size of the guages, the colors, etc. The more you play with it the better you will understand all of this

This is all off the top of my head and may not be exact so do not flame me for the info I provided.

I am also not a vendor so please do not PM me with any questions.
