Could be I'm just ignorant of these feature but 2 things I think would be useful:

1. In the scanner software the ability to locate a specific frame or the first occurance of a specific PID value. Say for example you want to move to the first data frame where the RPM PID is >= 6K. Even better a 'find' and 'find next' type feature where you could quickly find a frame that met multiple PID criteria.

2. In a custom OS the ability to wire wideband input in the 0-5V/AFR range into the PCM. Seems most PCMs have some unused pins. All you'd need to purchase then is a self calibrating wideband sensor. Probably easier said than done.

Just a few thoughts, love the product.

1) Filters?

2) I think I see where you're going, auto AutoVE. There was talk of RoadRunner doing this in future developments...

I like the first one you bring up. I've been finding a need for this type functionality lately as well.

And the ability to read out AFR from WB on V2?

You mean via the serial connection?

For the WBs without digital readout while logging without laptop the input thru AD might readout as AFR on V2 screen.

You will be able to (in a future update) have a selected number (up to 4 I believe) on the LCD screen of the FlashScan V2 interface ;)

1) I like to use the Data tab and review my min/max values. Often I'd like to find or move to the frame with the max or min value then move forwards and backwards to see if it was an anomaly or not. On the Data tab I can then see what the other PID values were when it happened. I haven't figured out how to filter this tab.

2) Not familiar with RoadRunner, but I'm looking at getting rid of the wideband controller box and setup. Allowing me to get wideband output from the scanner via PCM output instead of a wideband controller.

The wideband will still need it's controller, you are obviously talking about terminating the wires at the PCM. Probably very similar to what has been done the the Fuel Pressure stuff - it uses the EGR input (if you choose to do it that way).

Ok, guess I'm guilty of oversimplifying it. Assumed it really just needed power to heat it and a way to read the output. Both of which I assumed the PCM could do given an OS that knew how.

Don't some cars use a WB from the factory?

I believe the new VE Commodores use WB sensors.

No doubt you've seen the RTACS announcements... Basically exactly what you are looking at, implemented in a different way.
