I recently purchased an AEM 30-4900 Gauge and it has an afr analog output to a data logger of a 5 v signal for monitoring af. Can I hook these to my V2 box and set it up to work or is it more complicated than that ?
Thanks for any info

Yes, connect the analog signal to AD1+ and the return to AD1-
you will then have to look in the AEM user manual to see how they map AFR to 0-5V:
( see attached, is this the correct user manual...? )
There is not a CALC.AFR and CALC.BEN pids for this...Originally Posted by AEM 30-4900 user manual, page 17
so we would create one...
in calc_pids.txt:
define these Units:
Code:LAM None "LAM" "Lambda" EQR None "EQR" "Equivalence Ratio (i.e. 1/Lambda)" BEN None "BEN" "BEN factor"
and the slot definition would go like this:
question: what does AEM assume gasoline stoich AFR to be (14.7)...?Code:*CLC-00-030 AFR 8.0 18.0 .2 "{EXT.AD1}*2.375+7.3125" LAM 0.5 1.5 .3 "{CALC.AEM1.AFR}/14.7" EQR 0.5 1.5 .3 "1/{CALC.AEM1.LAM}" BEN 0.5 1.5 .3 "{CALC.AEM.LAM1}*{GM.EQIVRATIO}"
and the PRN would go like this:
I have not tested it, but if there's any problems I'll help you.Code:CALC.AEM1 F030 CLC-00-030 "AFR,LAM,EQR,BEN" Wideband "AEM 30-4900 AFR,LAM,EQR,BEN"
You would log these pids:
- GM.EQIVRATIO
- EXT.AD1
- CALC.AEM1
the BEN pid would be CALC.AEM1.BEN
to view AFR, Lambda or EQR, you would chart CALC.AEM1.AFR, CALC.AEM1.LAM, CALC.AEM1.EQR.

I greatly appreciate any help thanks a bunch ! I'm very new to EFI live and have done very little with the software. I have work tomorrow but afterwards I'll start getting it setup. I'm sure I'll probably have questions because just reading what you wrote I'm not 100% sure on what to do but when I get in there maybe It will come to me :-)
Thanks again

We need to find out this:
question: what does AEM assume gasoline stoich AFR to be (14.7)...?
Joecar,
The manual doesn't specify and I called them but they are closed until Monday I guess. According to what an AEM person posted on their forums "14.65:1 is the stoichiometric air fuel ratio for gasoline" besides that I'll have to wait until Monday to get verification from them I guess.
Ok, in the Lambda equation above, replace 14.7 with 14.65.
Joecar,
So a couple of things the output voltage of the gauge is 0-4.5v for af (you probably know this but I'm just correcting what I wrote in the first post. Second I have no idea how to enter CALC.AFR and CALC.BEN pids. I looked for calc_pids.txt: in my computer and found it. when I open it it opens in notepad and looking at the screen I am a bit unsure where to enter the information you gave me. I have to apologize as while I am far from computer illiterate I am not that good on it as I have no practical experience doing this. Ive been scanning using the latest version of EFI Live scan and tune. I'll have to lookup an easy way to create pid's.
Thanks for any help you can give I do appreciate it.
