Default Datamaster tuners come in

I just got all my stuff set-up to scan my car. Is there somewhere i can go to give a a quick run down on what everything stands for? I know what everything is but there some stuff i dont know. Like the TDC Err. and i got 3 of um. Can someone guide me somewhere? I read all the stuff on the "help" page datamaster has and it tells me what everything stands for but what are some good and bad numbers i should be keepin a eye on?


-------I put this in the Tuning Section but i think id have better results here on the lt1 place-------

dude, this program is KICKASS!! Only had to buy the cable and it was $65 shipped brand new. And datamaster shows you a LOT. Just figured out my MAF is not working, so it just paid for itsself there!! I got the cable from www.aldlcables.com and got the USB interface cable. DONE! And it comes with the driver disc and a bunch of programs to DL for free.

well this cable can do both from my understanding but the programs only scan the computer to make sure everything is tuned right and everything is working. Then you need to buy a program, $70, to actually burn your computer.
