my main concern about that is I don't know the limitations of the mini-scan or if it is relying on the cpu, since both are a bundle of variables (a big part of software is variables) would rather go to the source, i.e. is there a hall sensor on the mg1 and mg2 leads and batt leads? and where do they figure engine watts? Not expecting you to jump into that compared to the ease of a plug in scanner, just painfully aware of the limitations of trusting what a computer is telling you about a sensor.

But understanding we don't know what the software/system is doing (i.e. if it is just measuring mg1 and batt and deducing mg2 or something) then we don't really understand the data.
