So...there is no version available yet right? Or would I need something special for the SR20det?
If there's a version available I'd like to get it. Please tell me how. Thanks.

Sorry, SR20DET is not yet supported. Currently working on the auto update feature.

Auto update should only be available if the calibration and the open file match by that I mean they are for the same powerFC. Autoupdate should be only be available when

1) The calibration has been read, but no file is open (I guess this would be a new unsaved file)
2) The calibration has been read, and the open file matches the same format as the calibration (same powerFC)

If a file has been opened but no calibration has been read, then disable the feature.

You're awesome!!

I'm not sure if you did this already with the +/- feature you added.

If you select a block of cells, could the +/- buttons change all the cells that are selected? That can come later if you didn't already do it.

Thanks!!!

How about make a seting feature for the +/- like if you're going to increase 1 step on the fuel but if you want to increase 5 steps you don't have to hit the + 5 time and on the same seting window another for ign like make increments .25º or 1º etc.
Another cool feature will be if you could make a popup window when you hit ctrl a (Adjust) or other letter of your choice you will have 3 options for the selected values for fuel or ign.

1=Percentage adjustment (+ or - ) (______)
2=Add to selected values (+ or - ) (______)
3=Set selection to (______)

Let me know how I can help you! I can't program, but I'm just really stoked about the software.

Keyboard shortcuts are not yet firm for all commands, but I guess it will be Ctrl+<1...0> and Alt+<1...0> to enrich/lean from 1 to 10%. If you click on 'adjust selection' you will get the dialog you recommend.

When do you plan on having the Aux inputs working for logging?

The conversion of the voltage to real values gives me a headache. In FC Datalogit you can enter a binomial, which is unprecise. I've integrated a math expression evaluator, so you can enter a function. The downside is that this won't be supported on WinCE and when logging with the box. An other problem is that using a function you can't define a staged linear curve. That would require scripting, which would be difficult for many users and also won't be supported on WinCE and the box.

The simplest solution would be a table were you can enter a polynomial up to the n-th order. Any other ideas?

I think Witness is right about the autoupdate feature.

I use an LC-1 which is a linear analog out that can be defined between 0-5 volts. I believe most WBO2's have linear outs now so I don't believe a polynomial or function generator is necessary. Chips are also available to Linearize EGT's. Not having analog outs availabe in Windows CE would kill the need for that version though. As the whole point of using a PDA is to have all of the functions viewable including WBO2. I guess to me one of the best features of datalogit is the ability to feed my WBO2 into it and be able to use it to tune. Especially with ~10 readings a second its much more accurate than reading a gauge and adjusting from that.

Btw., if you right click any item you can add it to the toolbar, that way you can always see if auto update is enabled. But if auto update is enabled and data is beeing send to the PFC that will be displayed in the statusbar anyway.

I doubt that most widebands have a linear output, the more expensive ones have controllers that can be set to generate a linear output.

Also there are many other sensors, oil temp., exhaust temp., etc., so the analog inputs must be flexible.

It would be nice to get a few examples of the formulas / functions / polynomials.

I know that the new Techedge units, AEM, Innovate LC-1, Innovate LM-1, NGK, PLX Devices WBO2's all have linear outputs. Which is to me a full list of commonly used WBO2's

Here is a link though to the older Techedge unit's output voltages
http://techedge.com.au/vehicle/wbo2/wblambda.htm

I am not sure whether this is good for all the LSU2 sensors or not though.

@jayjay22: FC Tune misses some features required for tuning like aux inputs, so I would recommend the FC Datalogit software. The software should be soon at a stage to replace the Datalogit software.

I'm already getting paid as a software developer, so I can code for fun at home

I should have a new version in a few days, will finish auto update for undo/redo today.
