NGK AFX Wideband-- Compatible with EvoScan??

Like the title says, does anyone know if the NGK AFX wideband is capable of working in conjuction with EvoScan for a/f logging or is it only the ones listed under the Wideband tab in EvoScan?

Thanks in advance..

not to sound like an ***, but you answered your own question.

Well, I wasn't sure if it might still work correctly even if I had selected the AEM UEGO, etc. as my wideband.. Thanks for your comments though..

Unless its serial output is identical to one of the compatible widebands, then no, it probably won't work..

I have the NGK wideband and have read that it as a 0-5V 0=9.0:1 5=16.0:1Analog Output on it. Would any of the Evo loggers use this as I am getting my cable very soon and hoped to use it.

Thanks

Anything that has only a 5v analog output, just cannot work with any of the Loggers. If it doesnt provide a serial data stream, its not possible to hook it up to a computer without a special converter (Analog/Digital Serial Data Logger, their not cheap!) Innovate makes some products that you can hook up an analog 5v source and log from it. But it costs the same as just replacing it with an LC1

The ECU+ is capable (and designed for) taking the 5v signal from a wideband and including it in its logs, there is no calibration for the NGK, but I'm sure he could add it. But again, its not a cheap solution, but well worth the money for the type of data logging and features it offers.

The reality is when dealing with widebands, you have to do your research based on your intended use.

Here's what we know:

AEM Wideband Gage - Serial Stream, Yes it works, you have to make a cable.
TurboXS Tuner - Serial Stream, Yes it works
Innovate - Serial stream, Yes it works
Zeitronix ZT2 - Serial stream, Yes it works
PLX M-300 - Analog output only, No it won't work
PLX R Series - Serial/USB connection, No support for it yet, but it is capable
NGK Wideband - Analog Output only, No it won't work

This is not to say that the analog devices cannot be made to work, but you would have to be creative in your solution, you can buy a project kit for logging analog data to a serial stream, and if you are resourceful it can be done. But for the average user, its not reasonable to expect you to be able to do this.
