Diacom runs and ramblings (longish)

[lkurek at smtpgate.anl.gov]

     Umm...pretty much any spreadsheet/database program can be used to 
     analyze the Diacom data. I do it all the time. Export the Diacom data 
     into DBIII format, and import into anything. What I then do is write 
     some quick off hand queries to analyze, say, average O2 readings 
     between 75-100% throttle, or avg knock retard per 500 rpm increase, 
     etc. So, while I don't have a "program" to specifically do this, 
     anyone can with a little effort.
     
     TTYL!

Hey, this one sounds interesting.  Can those of you who have analysis 
programs for the Diacom and Diacom plus expound on what you are doing or 
even submit your programs, themselves?
