Good datalogger?
I am looking for a new datalogger for my Z. I had been using the Pocketlogger on my Palm VIIx, but for some odd reason, if I leave the Palm unattended for, say a week, the batteries go dead. Although I have rechargeables, its annoying because I am constantly having to reload the Pocketlogger software to my Palm, and I do not want to deal with it anymore.
What is everyone using? Ideally, I would love one that would take an input from a wideband 02, as I plan to use one when I start tuning with the new heads/cams/headers.
Any ideas for me? I very well might be using an E Manage to tune with once the new heads are in - how capable is its logging function? What parameters is it capable of logging, and does anyone know the sample rate? I know lots of you guys have tons of practical, hands on E manage experience now. I am a total newbie with it, having on used it on a couple cars so far. Is there anyway for the E manage logger to display on my LCD headunit screen (ala the HKS Camp), or can I only use the E01 for that?
Anyone familar with the Blitz R VITS, or the PSI Co (UK) units?
TIA

I don't know what your looking for, exactly, but the zeitronix wideband outputs (to a laptop) AF, lambda, boost, egt, TPS, RPM and one user changeable output. It then displays this on a pretty good datalogger program on your laptop. That's what I'm using.

did you get the display? If so, any pics of how you mounted it? So far, I like the looks of the Zeitronics the best - very clean. The TXS Tuner is a nice unit as well, just a bit more "raw" looking that I want in terms of a day to day display

That autotap looks pretty awesome!
About the zeitronix, look in my post about the Vortech filter in this forum and I posted a pic of it mounted in the NAV box. It's easy to read and looks very clean. Plus, the silver aluminum trim matches with the car.

yea Autotap sounds just like the one I had (Pocketlogger) - sampling rate is way too slow though on most of these things when you start logging 3 or 4 things at once
Anyone know how the logger on the E Manage is?

I'm working on a custom datalogger with ~12 analog inputs and ~16 digital inputs with 50 Hz sampling rate.. but I suspect you won't be able to wait long enough for my product to be complete. Should be great when it's done, but it's at least 6 months out.
Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations of good dataloggers with lots of data channels that don't cost an arm and a leg.
Good luck finding a solution.
