You have to buy a PC interface for your standalone or buy a standalone that comes standard with it. The dataloggit system for the PFC is one of these interfaces. I really dont know much but theres a start for you. Sorry, I'm running a pettit.

FC datalogit is what its called, great program. well worth the money if you are tuning yourself.

There's tons more info on the Datalogit on that page.

I don't think it does virtual gauges, but it does datalog, which is mighty handy.

ho boy... Okay, couple of things here:

First of all, since you have a pfc, have you considered just getting the commander? (based on your questions, I'm assuming you don't have one). It's a simple hand-held device that plugs into the pfc and can moniter virtually all the sensors in the car. Plus, you'll have limited access to change some settings in the pfc.

The datalogit system is primarily used for programming/tuning the pfc and logging the data. Although, if can also be used for monitoring. Datalogit is basically the only system that is currently on the market that can interact with the pfc. Keep in mind, it costs ~$350, and it's usually on a very long backorder.

The datalogit doesn't do "Digital dial type Guages" but you can set it show real-time "watches."

You can have it show you AFR's, RPM's, temps, etc. The watches at basic digial numbers in boxes that you can format, text size, color, position and font(I think). I have them formatted to show 1" tall characters so that I can see them while driving.

Yep, you can also make them change color at various thresholds, which is a pretty handy feature (ie, the text turns Red when Wtr Temp hits 100 C). But overall, using the datalogit "watches" as a method of monitoring info is rather bulky and cumbersome. I would never use that as my primary source of monitoring data (I only use them to aid me while I'm actively logging).

is there anything out there that does have digital gauges? thanks for the help

check the power fc forum, a guy over there is making an uber interface but you'll still need to buy a seperate box to hook up to the laptop.
