5. Click Graph icon on top bar of screen and allow PID list to generate

6. Select PIDs you want to datalog

7. Start Vehicle

8. Press Green Start button in livelink (turns green when PIDS are recognized)

9. Allow vehicle to idle for 2-3 minutes, then part throttle cruising for 2-3 minutes, and then 2-3 wide open throttle pulls

10. Click red stop button

11. Click FILE then SAVE DATALOG AS



IF YOU RUN INTO DEVICE CONNECTIVITY ISSUES, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS

2. Go to start menu

3. Right click computer or my computer

4. Click properties

Good stuff man

Let me just add that if you have a wideband with the cable to run it to your xcal, you will have to select Analog and check Analog 1. Once you do that, you have to go to Commands and click where it says Analog Equations. You will have to type in 2*v+10 in order to get the a/f right on the money.

and you need the firewire to connect to it from the a/f gauge.

that equation differs depending on what wideband you have. i know the LC1 is (v*3)+7.35. either way, Live Link has preset equations to the right where you can choose which analog device you're using. so you don't have to worry about finding the actual equation. unless of course it's not on the preset list.
