BayAreaZT Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I understand SDS can now data log from a wideband with a software upgrade but unless I'm missing something, you can't download the data to a laptop for analysis. Ideally, I'd like to make a few runs and go back home to look at the data so I'm looking at picking up a LC-1 or LM-1 but I'm a litle confused between the two. Is the LC-1 the same as the LM-1 but without the standalone unit? To put it another way, can the LC-1 with a laptop do everything the LM-1 can do? If I get the LC-1 or LM-1, do I need the RPM convertor to log RPM with AFR? This is to tune a L28et with SDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 hey man, I currently have my LM-1 setup to pull data from the sds ecu and datalog it in Logworks. Both Warren and Pallnet pinned out each sensor to tap into and Pete(Pallnet) sold me a plug and play setup to do this using the RPM converter from Innovate. this was my #1 complaint with SDS until i went this route, works Great!

clarkspeed Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Garrett, Are you pulling from the SDS brain or taking inputs from individual sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ok, so basically whatever you want to log, you tap into the signal going into the SDS brain? I'm just a little confused because the RPM convertor gives you additional inputs to log more sensors but the description of the LM-1 says this "The instrument can sample and store 6 channels of data- air-fuel-ratio and up to 5 other sensor data channels...." Can it sample 6 channels without the RPM convertor? If it can, I don't think I need any additional inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zg Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 The LM-1 has 5 analog inputs, and the lambda sensor. The 5 extra inputs is just 0-5v. It logs all 6 inputs. The RPM convertor uses one of the inputs, and converts rpm pulses to an analog signal for the LM-1 to use, and gives you connectors to mount cables for the rest of the inputs. I bought my LM-1 with the auxbox (LMA-3), and with the built in map sensor it is perfect for mapping my autronic! The software presents it in a map/rpm chart, and shows the afr-ratio all over, and makes it easy to see were to correct. I would say you should buy the auxbox.

col Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi Im buying a lm1 and lma3 from inovate and would like to know how good /rleiable they are. thanks col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaZT Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just got my LM-1 with RPM kit last week. Did a few time based test logs and I think I'm really gonna like this product . I'll wire the rest of the inputs and do some real logs this weekend. BTW, I got it on sale here. All the Innovate products are on sale. http://www.sasquatch-motorsports.com/store/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
