Triggered logging question

Recently I've been playing with the pocketlogger's triggered logging feature so that I can log a bunch of parameters while under boost. I set up the pocketlogger so that it starts logging whenever boost is greater than or equal to 1.0 PSI, and it works great, but of course it continues to log data after boost drops below 1.0 PSI.

This is fine for starting a log whenever boost hits my set threshold, but is there any way to automatically get it to STOP logging whenever boost goes below the set threshold? If not, I hope DTI can put this feature on the wish list for the next SW version.

pretty sure all the 2.0 version has it.
Its in the log menu, then go into the parameter menu, on the right it says alarm/trigger

as for stopping the log with the parameter, that seems like such a good idea. When I go to tune the car, I sometimes forget to stop the logging unless I hear the 5 secs beep which on the highway is pretty hard to hear it lol

IMO on logging, you want to start the log early/prior to any pulls and let it go a little after.

I've hit the log button just before jumping on it, and I miss practically the first half of the log.

If you had it set up to log at +1psi I could imagine the logs would be pretty short and might not capture all the data you want/need to see, but it does make some sense if it worked well. I don't recall having a logging option, just alarm?

I stands corrected, just went out and checked my rtek.

I agree w/ nick , what's the danger in having log that is a few seconds longer? The more information the better, if anything you should trigger it to start below the thresholds of the area you wasn't to log.

No danger in having it log a few seconds longer. But if you're trying to capture multiple logs on a public road without a passenger to help start/stop logging for you, having a completely automated start/stop feature would sure be a lot safer. That way you can make multiple 4th gear pulls on the freeway without the distraction of having to stop & rearm the log with the palm device while driving.

FYI, I've been setting the trigger up to start logging at MAP > or = to about 2 in-hg vacuum, so it catches the transition point from vacuum to positive boost. This seems to work fine for me.
