How get GRAPHS for logged data?

[JimGnitecki]

I know I must be missing something terribly simple, but I successfully did some blackbox logging, successfully downloaded the data into my computer, and can see the data displayed in tabular format. I can also walk through the data one frame at a time.

But, what I want to see are those neat graphs that show time as the horizontal axis and show individual PID values over time. I want to particularly compare rpm versus VSS to see the effect of torque converter stall speed in action, and also want to see how the timing advance chnages over time during an acceleration run, and whether or not any knock retard occurred (supercharged engine).

HOW do I get those nice graphical displays?

I have looked through the help screen / user manual at length, and just don't see that explained anywhere.

Help!

Page 80 of the scantool manual gives an introduction.
I am sure someone posted a how to on here at one stage......anyone remember?

In the Scan Tool, click on the 'Dash (F10)' tab;
Then press the blue 'B' button;
Then inside the chart area, right click, 'Add'->'Chart'->'New Chart';

A new chart appears; inside it do the following:
Right click, 'Resize to dashboard';
Right click, 'Chart Properties', and then click the 'Series' tab;

Place a checkmark in the 'Names' checkbox;
Select 'Series 1' and go down to the 'Parameter' dropdown selection box, and select a PID (say VSS).
Select 'Series 2' and in the 'Parameter' box select a different PID (say RPM).

When you're done, do 'Save', specify a filename, do 'Ok';
When saved, then do 'Close'.

Your PIDs should now be displayed as a chart.

Joe you got it. Jim, check out "Dashboard Cusotmization" under downloads under tutorials.
