The Official- How to use your Durametric
#31
Something I learned by experience is if you use a power adapter on the laptop, your sampling rates will increase, on battery the rates decrease nearly to the point that logging is nearly worthless. I dont have performance metrics, but my tuner can definitely see a significant difference. I bought a small converter at best buy and keep it in the car for when I do data logging.

In case anyone is interested, there is a new version of the software. Will let you know how it goes after I install it and hook it up to the car. It is my understanding that this Beta version only suppots 9x7 and that in the next month or so it will support 9x6.
