Today I made measurements at 100kPa to 200kPa with 10kPa step. The values are almost similar to these what i calculated.
Now seems that boost log works fine for me:


Now the only problem (not wery big) is that megatune does not show me values in kPa. Also my RPM input has some random spikes down, i don't know what is the problem with that. Also the button doesn't work anymore, at setting 128 and holding the button down for few seconds, it shows me analog in at the bottom field, but holding it a little bit longer, it showed something like -FA at both fields. Tried to play with different settings also, but without result.

Yes we have the rpm spikes too. It seems to bug or some hw error. But the log usable apart from the rpm spikes.
If you play with the curve, you get abs pressure in the log and the gauge too.
Some maths:)

I have played with the curve and with the calibration, but i don't get even close to that what I want.
How to understand the analog in curve, what do these values mean?

I tried your settings, no good for me :(
Can anyone explain me what does the calibration mean, and to what does rows in analog in curve answer to?

Hi, I am a bit confused because you said in an earlier post that boostlogging was fine for you.
What has happened to change that?
What is it that you are aiming for?

Boost logging works fine, but the gauge in megatune doesn't.
I measured different pressure points and writed up values from megatune. From that i got formula for logging: (value - 985)/3.15 then log shows me pressure in kPa.
But I want to get the megatune (then gauge shows that to) show value in kPa-s. As i understand, for that i need to change calibration value and analog in curve, but i don't understand them... what does they exacly do. Right now my settings are: calibration 255, offset 0 and analog in 0 - 15 - 30 - 45 etc.

With little help from z0tya my system works now how I wanted to. Now i can see boost in kPa at gauge to and offcourse log it.
Ho did I do it:
S2 3B original 200BAR MAP
I connected my compressor variable output (with gauge: 0 to 2,5BAR) directly to MAP input.
z0tya gave me somekinde of numbers what he calculated, I inserted them and started to play with them.
Calibration setting 32, offset 0
First I needed to get 100 reading at atmosphere pressure, changed numbers at analog in to get it.
Now raised compressor oputput to 0,5BAR and played with numbers to get reading 150, then output to 2BAR and played to get 200 reading. After that tested other readings, 0,1BAR - 110, 0,2BAR - 120, 0,3 - 130 etc. I din't have to change any more numbers at analog in curve becase it was enough only measure 3 points (0BAR - 1,5BAR - 2BAR).
These are numbers from analog in curve:
0 - 0
1 - 0
2 - 0
3 - 0
4 - 0
5 - 0
6 - 0
7 - 0
8 - 18
9 - 30
10 - 55
11 - 106
12 - 145
13 - 180
14 - 220
15 - 225
16 - 240
First 7 rows are 0 becase they din't change the reading, also are 15 and 16 set to linear in because they din't cange nothing also.

Now i borrowed my friends ECU what has 300BAR MAP and did the same thing.
Calibration 64, offset 0
Measured 5 points (0 - 0,5 - 1 - 1.5 - 2BAR) to get right reading (played vith analog in curve) and other readings between measured points where rigt also.
These are numbers from this analog in curve:
0 - 0
1 - 0
2 - 0
3 - 0
4 - 0
5 - 0
6 - 0
7 - 0
8 - 5
9 - 15
10 - 41
11 - 74
12 - 106
13 - 136
14 - 169
15 - 225
16 - 240
First 7 and 2 last are same as it was previously.

Now i'm wating my order from vems and when my stuff arrives, I'll measure the VEMS 300BAR MAP also.

As long as you've got the information you need then we're all happy!  Thanks to z0tya for his help.
