Default SCT datalog files confusion

So I've been fooling around with the datalog features of the x4, and it surprises me what the graphs look like (once I figured out how to remove all the overlaid graphs to see what I want). I'm not a tuner and don't claim to have much knowledge regarding tuning, and all the associated pid's, so basically this is a learning expedition so I'll understand what I'm being told, and what questions I should ask.

Here's what I'm asking for....

If I could get a couple of folks who have logged their trucks....just fooling around and not to include WOT drag strip logs...I would like to open them in the live link app and see what they look like.

What I'm saying is I did a test log, and I'm surprised at what the graphs look like. I'm not sure what I expected, however before I raise an issue with anyone, I would like to see what other log files look like. I'm asking for not wide open throttle files so I can see what a normal driving or a minor acceleration graph is supposed to look like.

PM me and I'll give my email address, thanks in advance.

It's ok with me, but someone else will have to help answer your questions. I only know enough to be dangerous lol. Right now I'm just thrilled that I can actually set up a file. Now that I've done that, it caused me to have a lot of questions regarding the graphs....they seem pretty erratic to me so now I'm on a learning expedition.

My tuner is going to hate me. I had to take a work management information system class at work many years ago, and the instructor voted me "most inquisitive"

He wasn't being nice either. I must have pretty annoying. lol.

Try to get a shift or two at wot as well. 2-3 and 3-4 if you have a safe area to do it. Good to see where the shift is commanded and where it's shifting and how it's behaving at wot during the shift.
