I used wordpad,
just about useless it's so wrapped together

 

It opens in excel (2000).What does your program recognize?

 

Yes it does open in Excel 2000. But it's format is vastly different than what I am used to with Diacom. I will need time to see what EXACTLY all the information means as many of the titles are different that I am use to.

I will say that it looks like Craig's software captures a lot more information than an equivalent Diacom reading. Maybe it is something Craig has "massaged" out of the ALDL. Some looks "duplicated" but I will need to look at it mroe carefully.

As a word of caution, WOT runs are not as informative as part throttle runs in tuning as the BLM/INT goes to 128/128 and the stock O2 sensor is really not intended to be used as a "tuning" device.

The most useful information I get from a WOT run is 1) Knock information and reconciling the TRUE Effective Total Spark Advance and 2) A measurement of performance from one speed value to another (ie 20 mph to 100 mph, unless done at a track, then 0 - 100).

 

Glenn: Does the BLM and INT ALWAYS go to 128/128 in PE mode(WOT)?? I was under the impression that the INT always goes to 128 but the BLM can take on different values based on what is stored in your BLM cells. In my Diacom data currently when I go to PE, my BLM shows 135 and INT is 128. I am in the process of tuning my VE tables right now and as such my BLM's are a little high. I thought the GM computer used the previously recorded BLM values during WOT in order to compensate for long term effects like dirty injectors, clogged filters, etc

 

i am looking for knock counts and which rpm they occur at. im not tuning BLM just yet.
