Cheap Logging Option?

What is the cheapest set up to log the car? I've seen some reviews with the Bluetooth plug ins, I do have the Xentry system and laptop coming in the mail, was wondering if I can do it thru that or what are my cheaper options? I have a 77fsp and would like to monitor IATs...

If you plan on modding I would at the least get a setup that will log AFR's as that cannot be done through OBD. Well, you can monitor the O2 sensor voltage but then you would need to convert it from lambda and the OBD2 port is too slow to give accurate real time data.

Many threads on options to log, and why are you looking for CHEAP?

you do realize that the DAS system that you have will display all the engine parameter in real time without delay since the car is connected to the multiplexer. Now you cannot record them.
Below is the list. It is the most extensive i have seen.

Shardul, Under what menu can I find these settings at? I'll figure out way to record them.

This place is a joke.
Is there any software out there, similar to a screen capture program, that could be run in the background to record the values using STAR, as a type of movie? Never thought of it before.

EDIT:

It's called "screencasting" and I'm reading about a few free options right now.

CamTasia works well too, used it before. This is what I was planning on.

I just downloaded camstudio and it doesn't seem to be working on my WIN7 desktop, and a little pissed off about the greyware it also installed without asking. I'll try CamTasia, thanks!

If you're using Win7 Fraps should be able to do what you want.

My laptop I'd be using for logging is XP.
