Yeah, I have it myself, but am a raw, wet behind the ears newbie with it. Simply because since I had the master (FRC Tom) tune my C5Z, I really don't have much reason to play around with it...... But beforehand, I used it to monitor parameters while driving and it is an EXCELLENT tool for just data logging.

To give you an idea of how helpful this tool is, the following image is from a data logging session I did that showed that I had a problem with the IAT (incoming air temperature) sensor that was throwing the tune out of whack:



See that white line in the second section from the top? That was being caused by a bad wire on the sensor. It would have been pretty darn tough to trace this problem without a tool like this.

Secondly, this is a chart of the data logging done after I had the STS twin turbos installed. It shows all kinds of interesting details indicating when the turbos are actually kicking in.



But like I said, I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of this program!
