Haltech e6k data logging questions?

e6k data logging questions?
Ok so I have been playing around with my haltech e6k so I can learn it more. I did some data logging and when I go back and read through it I can't tell when I was in boost or vacuum.
I can read RPM, Coolant and air temp, tps, voltage, Inj. Ms., timing, range, bar, and time.
under "Press inHG" I cannot distinguish vacuum from positive pressure.
for example:
at 3020 rpm I am at 20.6 inHG. Then from that rpm till about 4960 rpm the number goes down to about 11.5 inHG and stays in the 11-12 inHG range till redline.
When did I go from vacuum to boost?? what number is vacuum and what number is boost? I did not jump from vacuum to 12psi of boost, there has to be a linear increase in boost.
I hope you guys can understand what I am trying to ask. I'm Confused at the moment about this.

But the software should put the asterisk in the when the load goes to vacuum but its not doing it.

The decel should clearly pin way into the negative, so if the whole run was done in vacuum (in NA), then the missing "*" would make sense.
So either the MAP sensor is bad (or MAP sensor type of set wrong) - hell, that would cause the car is basically not run - or the datalog output is wrong?

At any rate, you can easily tell you're in either boost or vacuum by the load/tps/rpm values, they're pegged high so, no big deal there. Just gotta learn how to read it....

At the 28+ values (in vacuum), the Haltech is reading way into the vacuum ranges of the maps.
So it's missing the "*" on the display.
Unless the programmed map is really fucked up?
If it were truly reading 25+ psi of boost, the engine should not run at all on a normal map.
So it looks like the datalog display is wrong.
Are you using a Compaq computer?
Some of the Compaq computers have missing font symbols, so it doesn't display correctly - you need a special comm program made especially for Compaq computers to display everything correctly.

Why are you such an ******* to people.. didnt it ever occur to you that some people maybe learning this stuff? We didnt all come into this life with all the knowledge in the world like you seem to think you were blessed with at birth.
Edit: sorry for getting off topic for the people who are reading and trying to learn from this kind of stuff.

We have a history.
You can go do a search and see why.
There's a reason why I've got him on IGNORE.
I only looked at his post this time, cause it was in this thread.
His response was of no use, so I don't know why he posted such useless information.

ok i hooked up the laptop today with the car running and now it DOES read boost!
wtf? i dont know how but now it IS reading boost.
anyway i took screen shots to show what version of program i am running.
this shows my manifold pressure at idle, i dont see the *.
but i data logged it again and now i see the * next to vacuum. look at 7300 rpm boost!
