knock "retard" not in data export (as well as others)

Post by i-Zapp »

i may have previously posted this in the wrong section, so apologize in advance for the repost (I've also added some additional clarification)-

the export file that's created by the Kpro on my 03 RSX only contains "knockcount" (totalizer), but I'd really like to export the actual "knock retard" value in degrees which is missing from the CSV file even though i can see it as a sensor value in the graphs that are generated by the kpro. how do i get the Kpro to export the knock retard value???

i have found SOME info on the following page, but nothing that solves my problem. in fact, it shows A LOT of other parameters that i can graph, but don't end up in the export file. http://www.hondata.com/help/kmanager/sensorsetup.htm

this is what's in my export file (which is a subset of the 100 or so parameters that are available for graphing:

frame time rpm speed map clv tps camangle targetcamangle injector ignition ta tw lambda targetlambda shortterm longterm knockcount voltage eld.v eld s02 brake gear boostduty analog0 analog1 analog2 analog3 analog4 analog5 analog6 analog7 digital0 digital1 digital2 digital3 digital4 digital5 digital6 digital7

just following up, can someone from Hondata or otherwise knowledgeable about this chime in?
(it's pretty crazy that I can't examine knock retard in the export - how else is a guy supposed to know where to adjust his spark timing????)
I know I can look at it using the Kmanager graphing utility, but I have better software to do it that can provide 3d plots (like, speed/load and then spark retard).
anybody???

The help file lists what is available in the export file: http://www.hondata.com/help/kmanager/ex ... sub=export

There is no way you can add items to this list on your end.

I respectfully suggest that someone at Hondata needs to revisit what data is on that list and either add everything available, or add SPARK RETARD. Why in the world would anyone care about alternator load, and not about spark retard???? That export would be immensely more valuable with spark retard for inspecting and adjusting calibration.
