Or even further imagine monitoring the cam timing so when that knock occurs you can also see how much timing the computer pulled.
The Unichip method with POTS is interesting but going cell by cell under load is something I am not sure your familiar with. Have you ever tried to hold a 3rd gear pull at 3100 RPM exactly? N/A or Boosted its hard to do and you have to do that throughout the range and you certainly don't want to hold it knocking.
Now while the Unichip will allow for you to be within the factory safety levels once you add boost it changes everything and the first slip could be the last slip for that motor.
I do thank you for showing me that table that makes sense and was what I expected to see. What I really want to see is what it looks like while driving and logging. As trying to put two tables together by two different companies can be like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle using another puzzle all together.
And 595 for the software with the POTS, Tech Support etc.

Well as I said my goal is not to become a tuner. I just got the tuning license so I could create maps to control the electric supercharger I'm building, and possibly make some minor adjustments to the tune to get better performance when the e-charger is running.
Unichip actually make a big point that trying to tune every single cell is probably a wast of time. Tune a few specific load/RPM site, have the map autofill between those sites and then check for areas (torque dip) that need specific attention.
As for additional sensors it would be nice if they were all available and more could be wired in but it's probably not worth it. I'm happy to use a separate OBDII reader that can give me even more data like short/long term knock correction the ECU may be doing hiding issues with your tune.
