What choices do we have for scanners?

I have an AutoXray XP240, but I cant do any logging with it, I get a snap shot of one moment in time (some delta time frame) or I can display one engine function and watch what it does.


Can I log files with my AutoXray? like I do with AutoTap with my '99 Camaro SS

What other choices do I have?

Is EFILive for our thirdgen cars?

I have an autoxray and I log data when going down the track. It is a lot of writing, but it does work. You just have to plot each parameter on a sheet of paper.

I also use craig moates program, which dumps into a speadsheet. There is also freescan for map cars.

Most of the scanners out there record data also.

Do a search on scan tools.
