Logging real time values with Xentry
I have gotten the Xentry to display real time values at idle. I have the checkboxes checked and I am watching the parameters as compared to the safe interval shown on the right.
I got the bar graph working too.
My question is : I don't see a checkbox "start recording the data" and it doesn't seem to be recording. How do I get Xentry to log a record of the live data, where's the save button? Or does it not record ?
Should I post a screen shot ?
Thank you in advance guys.

Help me out here:
This logic makes sense in idle.
There is however also a different live data section called full load.
Does that record?
You see how for full load, while the data is either in or out of spec, one may be busy driving to get to that full load, rather than watching.
Also the data has to be corroborated.
Meaning at a later time, looking that the recorded data, you look for the rpm and for the timing advance and the load. You try to see what the timing was for a certain load.
Or you try to see the state of the cooling fan versus the temperature of the coolant and the rpm (there probably is a set of tables in the ECU, several conditions have to be met).
Or position of throttle at 100% accelerator, over 5500 rpm.
