I just picked up a cheap Palm, and both of these data logging programs will work on it. They both seem to do basically the same thing, and are priced the same. I see alot of add on features for Atap. If I went with Atap, what add ons would I want to purchase and why? Ls1m seems like a nice logging program to have, so guys who have either one let me know how you like each. Thanks

Are you talking about LS1SCAN? If so I would defintly go with autotap even though LS1SCAN is free. Ive heard that EFILIVE is the best though!

 

I have used autotap on several occasions, it is horrible! The communaction rate is sooooooo slow & the values are not correct, for instance delivered torque is way off.....

 

i keep reading that efi live is the better of those.

 

Efi is good...regular autotap, well read my thread bellow

 

Since you want to log on a Palm, you have several choices. The problems with Atap is it runs 10 frames per sec. Some of the pids you want to monitor only report 1 or 2 frames/sec. If you are monitoring several items, the real time logging misses a lot of info. I am not sure if EFILive has a palm version, but the latest editions log at 40 frames/sec and would be a much better value. Also, full featured logging software like Ease and AutoIngenuity have always logged at 40/sec and have Palm version. Check www.obd2.com and ebay for price and availabiltiy.

 

Dont you mean LS1SCAN! That is what you have been using at least when Im around! LS1SCAN is **** but it is free!

 

I have the LS1M, and it seems to log pretty well for a reasonably priced unit. With the PalmIII it comes with it's a little hard to see the characters. It would be LOTS better with a color Palm. I don't know if you can get it to graph, but with the simpler Palm you have to "page" through the rpm range of the period logged.
