Awesome, just got my PLX SM-AFR and glad to know that this device is now supported by MPS_UTEClogger.

Quick question: The unit has analog outputs. How do I connect this to my computer, is there an analog to USB connector?

 

You will need the RS232 output. There isn't an easy way to get analog voltages in to a computer.

 

Put that in there and possibly some logging options and I'll buy it right away.

One of the cool features of the UTI is that it can log the A/F ratio X amount of seconds behind the UTEC to compensate for the lag (AEM signal lags by ~0.4s).

It has a 'Peak Boost' pop up box that is really nice. It would be even better if it popped up Peak Boost and corresponding A/F.

It has automatic logging. You can enter the parameters and it will create individual logs while you drive. Say, start boosting at 2PSI and above. This makes the logs much easier to review.

Again, I really like your layout, but the features the 2.0 version offered were lacking compared to the cheaper UTI.

 

If the meter only has an analog output then it will not work. Any wide-band meter used for logging NEEDS to have an rs-232 (serial) output capability. I believe the PLX R-Series WB may be the only PLX wideband that has serial output. Sorry for the confusion, I have updated the web page to reflect the specific 'R-Series' models.

I appreciate all your feedback, these are features that I don't think have ever been requested in the past.

The logging "filters" you mentioned is a good idea.

What kind of 'parameters' would be good to look to consider a Peak Boost pop-up? Anytime 'Boost >= X'? or when boost goes transistions toward a smaller value? I would like to have an idea of when this display should be shown to avoid having it pop-on all the time, or hardly at all.

That sucks

Well, I have the DM-100 that has a plotting function. Still, I want to be able to save logs. Anybody else have any suggestions?

 

Make it user selectable, but I would think 1-2psi would be ideal. Right now, I've seen pop ups for 0 psi, but never any negative values. So, basically any time you get in to boost it pops up. I'm guessing there may be a TPS reference built in there that determines when to pop up (to decide when the pull is over).

The UTI software is full of cool features, you should check it out, especially if you want to try and market yours, as it is the only 'competition' until TurboXS finally steps up to the plate. The UTI software is $19.99 with free upgrades.

 

Wow, I just read through this whole thread. Time to pick one.

 

The whole thread????? You have tooooo much time on your hands!! Lol.... when it comes time to do my Utec I might have to hire you!

 

This thread was a good read so I was hooked.

 

ROFL, I can't believe I just found and learned about this.

wow just read all this as well

 

I noticed that I don't log values above 0% TPS until I really get on it but the problem is that I am running too rich to be playing around trying to guess the AF's is there a way to safetly lean my car out without flooding my cylinders with gas.

 

When will there be an update for the UTEC?

 

When Hell freezes over.

 

Or shortly after, anyway.

 

bump for updated UTI v3 status

 

Last time I check it is still in Beta (I think it's on beta 3 now). I tried to install it but when I try to run the application it gave me some error. I forwarded the error to Jeff but he hasn't responded to my emails.

 

Will be the day that the UTEC update is released or is a forgoten project?

 

I wish the UTI would get updated so I could see my dashboard! Jeff has seemed to stop responding to emails.
