Wolf user Here (non RX-7) with a question regarding logging inputs
I have a 1972 240z with a 1983 280zxt turbo motor. I am running a T03/04E, 50 trim turbo, Supra 7MGTE injectors, LS-1 coil on plugs, modified CAS, etc. I am setup for full sequential ignition and injection. I am using the Wolf V500.
Ok, with my introduction out of the way onto the meat of my question. I am using a coolant temperature sensor as a standard input into Wolf. My engine also has a cylinder head temperature sensor located between #5 and #6. These last two cylinders tend to run hotter than the first 4 due to the coolant passage design and are the first two to detonate (which has cost me 2 head gaskets). I would like to log the CHTS and have wired it up to AUX LS5. However, I can't seem to actually log the data. Is there a settign I am missing somewhere? Whenever I click on the data log axis, I do not see anything. I have setup AUX LS5 under configuration and have setup the calibration table.
I've also wired up my stock knock sensor to AUX LS7 and I am using an LED on AUX LS6 to blink when it detects knocking. This works great, but I can't seem to find any data log/information for AUX LS7.
Finally, I have an Innovate LC-1 with a G3 gauge. Short of buying an LMA3, I would like to log the voltage signal from my LSU4.2 sensor in Wolf on AUX LS4 and have wired it up. However, like the CHTS and knock sensor, I cannot find the data.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Bo

Im not familiar with the v500 software, so all i can do is ask questions
Are you sure your inputs are functioning? can you see them on the virtual dash. In my v400 software i thought i could select what items are logged on the graphs just by rightclicking? i dont have anything on this pc so again just specualting..

I just purchased an LMA3. Logworks is so much better for datalogging than Wolf.
joem20, I used the auxiliary channels (AuxLS6 and AuxLS7 to be exact) for my knock detection. My engine comes with a knock detector from the factory. I wired it up to Wolf through AuxLS7 and I setup the voltage from the knock sensor (0 to 1 volt) to be output at 0 to 1000. I then used AuxLS6 to control an LED based on pin AUXLS7. I set the threshold value to 600 on AuxLS6. Anything below and the LED does not light up; anything above and the LED lights up.

Matti, let me do a little more tuning and I'll send you my map. However, I do not know what good it will do you. The L28ET engine is a low compression (7.4:1) engine and loves timing. At cruise I can run 40 to 50 degrees; at 15 psi (1 bar) I am around 24 degrees.
My injector pulse widths are based on my fuel pressure and injectors (Toyota Supra 7MGTE - 440 cc/min).
