Real-time data logging?

Are there any real-time data loggers out that we can use on the X? I've been hearing about PCMSCAN but I don't feel like paying for a license at this time. Are there any other programs we can use, possible shareware programs such as ECUFlash?

None that I know of......

I'm interested in a logger that can log knock & load on this new CAN system. I wouldn't mind paying for a good logger.

Just a noob question, but if knock and load are ecu parameters, shouldn't a scanner such as my LM-2 be able to read this? I'm still tinkering with it.

DashDaq from DrewTech-no knock-but can work with the zietronix WB O2. Worked great for me-logged 9 dif parameters at once (RPM, Thrtl pos, load, MAF, MAP, intake temp, front O2 (not WB), coolant temp,and I cant remember). My $0.02. I think there are a couple other tuners on here doing the same.....plus it'll read/clear codes, ect. Great device-using it on the MBZ now as well.

Sounds a lot like Dashhawk. So it real-time datalogs to a laptop? Does it do boost? And ashame it doesn't work with the AEM o2. Shareware? Sorry, work limits my internet acess.

^ Um ya no thanks. That's the complete opposite from what I'm looking for...

Evoscan looks promising... Any word on X support?

So are there ANY programs out to monitor real time? Does PCMScan data-log for the Evo X? I can hold off on adjusting timing maps if I can't watch knock. But I would like to watching AFR's with my AEM UEGO and boost real-time. Anyone have ideas?

PCMScan does not log knock. It does however log timing, temps, boost (with a 255 kPa absolute cap), maf, IAT, ECT, etc etc

Yea if you already have something that works well for you, then by all means...

Sample from a datalog I've taken with PCMscan:
