Data logging questions

Post by solar_eclipse2 »

So I hooked my Predator up to my car to do some data logging. I exported the log to a .csv file on my computer.

I would like to use that log file in conjunction with a program called virtual dyno. that program requires logging time, throttle position, rpm, and vehicle speed. Vehicle speed, time, and rpm I think I have down but what parameter does the tuner use for throttle position?

If someone could help me figure this out that would be great because the program doesn't work without all the specified parameters.

I use TTDyno with the logs. There are multiple TPS readings. You gotta figure out which one works with that program.

Ok but what are they labeled? Are they the TPS voltage or are they something else? I just don't know what I'm looking for to even try it.

The one I use is labeled Throttle Position Sensor Percent.

I didn't see that in my log. Do you know where that is on the predator? It's possible I may be logging the wrong stuff.

I went back and checked, and I definitely do not see that value anywhere in the logs and I logged all parameters just to make sure. My Predator doesn't have to be a certain software version to have this available does it?

Different manufacturers have different labels. I have no experience with the Ford tuners, just Mopar. I couldn't tell you what it would be under on the Ford.
