I was gonna say, sounds like something from their site.  :)

:scratching head:  How long have you had their product to inquire now? 



Their response should be interesting, as I've spent a little time on their

site, INCLUDING their forum, which included a little double talk from 

the PLX rep in one of the forum thread responses.  Actually, forum 

discussion, (for any product) can be much more revealing/informative 

than 'canned' parent site info.

  PLX widebands utilize the latest digital PID and DSP technologies to maximize o2 sensor reaction time and accuracy without compromising overshoot, and slow settling response time. This technology is coupled with advanced self sensor calibration circuitry and sensor soft start to both prolong the life of your oxygen sensor as well as eliminating any user intervention for manual sensor calibration. PLX widebands may be used and installed in your vehicle permanently.

  This was taken directly from their website for further info pleas refer to www.plxdevices.com

  As a matter of fact I'm going to call them today and see what they have to say about the automatic calibration.

  Yes, the 'free air' reference from another post. 

   

  Brian, with sensor 'drift' a normal characteristic of WB sensors,

  (especially in performance environments), I question the solution 

  to the problem, when free air test shows sensor drift, and analog 

  circuitry unable to provide for manual (re)calibration.

    You have a point. There's always an easy way to check though just take 

    it out and let it sit then check what AFR it's reading.
