Datalogger, they are able to display multiple operations simultaneously for scrutiny. One of the operations I view consistently is coolant temps. If looking at your OEM coolant needle and its touching the bottom side of the halfway line, your coolant is around 190 degrees. If the needle is centered on the halfway line then the coolant temp is about 196. If the needle is touching the topside or over the halfway line, expect your temps to be 198-201.
