Default Torque Pro, how to decipher to info?

I have the "smart phone" Droid 2 version of the Torque Pro scan tool and know the obvious stuf, but would like to know what "ideal" values for stuff like O2 sensors and and the like. It has a lot of values that I could use if I knew what I am looking for.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Rick

Watch the temp go up as the car sits after a drive, turned off.
The info is extensive and could be VERY usefull to people that know what they are looking at
I drove the car for about 30 miles under several conditions as my wife watched the display and relayed the info to me.

Cool stuff.

go to settings

scroll all the way down to manage extra PIDs/sensors (whatever yours says mine might be different since i have pids loaded)

it should pop up asking what pids you want to load pick GM.

once the list loads find transmission fluid temp 3/4ths the way down the list.

click on it and scroll to the bottom and enter the header


that should give you a good idea of how to set it up. i may have missed a little here and there but you should get it

I have the PLX that Droid recomends for the Torque Pro. I dont know if the PLX is better than the others or not, I just know the system is realy cool. The PLX is $100 and some others can go for over $200. The expensive ones allow you to access the the brake and traction codes.
