Live data from OBD
Sorry if someone has answered this question already (as I did search), but what ways are there to pull live data out of the C6 and record it for later analysis and use?
I'm hoping there is a straightforward way to do this using the OBD sensors and a PC link, but all my searches so far have led me to products that either don't support LS2 engines or aren't really real-time solutions.
Thanks!

HP Tuners Pro is what I use. You can plug it in your car without your laptop hit the record button and go for a ride and capture 80 minutes of engine info in real time for later in your PC. I have a wideband 02 hooked up for an AFR log also. I'm sure there are other programs . Good luck

I think Digimoto and the Auterra unit will do this. I just ordered the Digimoto hardware and software, so I will soon see. If it doesn't do the job I will try Auterra software. I believe the hardware for either of these products also supports other software, such as the PCMScan software. http://www.digimoto.com/ http://www.auterraweb.com/

Ease is the only laptop scanner that does the full speed CAN and GMLAN, supports all the new parameters GM added, does bi-directional to modules and supports several GM relearn functons
I use it on my 2006 Z06 and works really good.

But one of the things I'd really like to do is to be able to do real time scanning and tuning right there from the drivers seat at any time. I can have all the .bin files right there, no need to hook up a laptop. Plus, with Auterra, they have the dyno part of the software. I know it's not terrible accurate, but the cool factor is too good to pass up.
I'll google Ease, but you have a site for it?
