In order to get an "Airflow vs TPS vs RPM" history table (that relates to the throttle body size change example from before),
you will have to set it up yourself, as it is not already existing in the particular .adx that we are working with.

The beauty of a history table is that the tuner (you) can create one based on whatever parameters that are being / have been logged, that you might find interesting/useful.
so let's make one...
- in TP under the aquisition menu, select "edit definition" (with the .adx file from before loaded of course)
- click on "history Tables" and then "add new item" from down the bottom of the dialog box
- let's give the new history table a name, in the title box call it something like "Airflow (mg / cylinder) Vs. RPM Vs. TPS"
- enter a unique ID, (this is just an internal value TP uses to identify the item) say "AirflowHistory"
- click the "..." button next to the "output (Z) object" and select "Milligrams per Second per Cylinder" from the list
- select the tab called "rows (Y axis)"
- enter "17" in the "row count" field
- click the "..." button next to the "Row (Y) Object" and select "RPM" from the list
- in the cells below, enter the values: 400, 800, 1200, 1400, 1600, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2800, 3200, 3600, 4000, 4400, 4800
- select the tab called "Columns (X axis)"
- enter "17" in the "Column Count" field
- click the "..." button next to the "Column (X) Object" and select "TPS" from the list
- in the cells below, enter the values: 0, 6.25, 12.5, 18.75, 25.0, 31.25, 37.5, 43.75, 50.0, 56.25, 62.5, 68.75, 75.0, 81.25, 87.5, 93.75, 100
- hit "save"

- under the "aquisition" menu, select "Show history tables"
- play back the log file and watch as the table gets filled up

to charlay86,
mate i just logged on in my lunch break and won't have time till tonight to follow your instructions but what you did warrants an immediate reply to thank you,normally in our industry everyone has their secret squirrels and won't share their secrets , thanks heaps for your reply and help it is imensly appreciated,thank you,

thats cause this website is not part of the industry!

not to mention that its not really a trade secret anyway, its just effective usage of the programs indended features. the sad truth is, tuning is fast becoming the realm of the computer expert, so far most of whats been taught in this thread is to do with using and understanding the computer and software not actually tuning an engine.

holden202,
am i glad that it's not part of the industry,to be perfectly honest my industry has a very bad rep and for good reason,i am in the only ind that trys it's best to destroy our client base,i could talk for months on the horrors i see when i pull apart engines and all done by supposedly reputable performance shops,after a while it does get to you, i take pride in my work and do my best and get paid the same as the butchers,i often joke with my mates ,no wonder they drive better cars than i do,but i guess that's what happens when your born with a concience,

jayme,
what you say is very true ,for us old school tunners it's mind blowing what is in these programs,i spend a week building a carby and then a day tunning it ,you guys do it in a couple of hours and you guys do it ten times more acuratly,but i am doing my best to try and learn all this as fast as i can,i have been very buisy so have not had a chance to finalise my test car but will as soon as i can ,then i think the learning will be a little easier,cheers

thats easy, assuming your connected to a car and all the gauges are reading something just hit the red record button up the top, that then records everything from that point onwards and once you hit stop it asks you to save the file somewhere.

and in reply to your butchers statement .... sooner or later the butchers get a bad name and even though you might only be getting the same money as them you'll get more business from a good name!

HOLDEN202,
thanks for that ,i know i am never going to be rich from this work but i have worked on some amazing cars and made some incredible freinds , i sleep well at night as for the shonkies i guess judgment day is inevitable,now back to studying these amazing files,cheers
