I'm using my HP Tuners and the VCM scanner to show critical parameters during track days using a windows tablet (the display is not configured in this recording, I'm only monitoring critical values like fluid temperatures and knock correction/retard).



With an API, one could add additional functionality very easily - like triggering an external warning light on low oil pressure, excessive knock retard, wideband lean condition on full throttle/WOT etc.

As it is now, I have created a secondary application that launches VCM scanner and activates the log. It would be much smoother to have an API where one could request parameters/measurements directly. The API would still protect the intellectual property of HP Tuners. Keeping an eye on gauges on track is a nuisance - so my plan was to add an audible "All systems nominal" each lap. Without an API, or any information on the log file format, these things are not possible (or nothing is impossible, it will just take too much time).

Come on HP Tuners !
