LC-1 reads different in HPTuners and Aeroforce
Warning: Long post follows...
I have an LC-1 in my car and I decided to do more work on my VE table. I set up my HP tuners Wideband PID properly by finding my slope and ground offset values. Since I set up the LC-1 to give me 10:1 afr at 0 Volts and 18:1 afr at 5 Volts, the formula came out to (Volts/0.625)+10.
Now all I had to do was to find my ground voltage offset. I forced the LC-1 to output a value of 14.7, so I set the output voltage to a flat 2.9 volts, no matter what it was actually reading. I hook up the HPtuners scanner and I get a value of 14.62. No problem, I add 0.08 to the 10 in the formula, and I get the 14.7 I was looking for. After that I set the voltages in the LC-1 back to 0 and 5 and go out for some logs, happily thinking that I have set it up correctly.
I noticed that at idle I was reading a steady 17.52-3:1. Not surprised here, my car had the best idle qualities when it's lean.
Since I was double checking my offsets in HPtuners, I thought it would be nice to set up my Aeroforce to read from 10:1 to 18:1, down from 20:1 how it was previously set up. I did some quick math and came up with a slope of 1.6. I got this number like this (18-10)/(5-0), basically afr range divided by voltage range, same way it's described in the Aeroforce manual.
So I enter 1.6 for slope, and 10 for intersect. I force the LC-1 to give me 14.7 on the other analog output and I get 15.2. Ok, I'm off by .5, so I change the intersect to 9.5 and get 14.7 on the gauge.
So far everyhthing looks great, I'm looging, making changes, and having a great time. Until I decide to stop logging at idle, remember I was seeing a constant 17.52, and I plug in my Aeroforce in the OBDII connector. It powers up, and I'm seeing an afr in the 15s!!!
What did I do wrong? Which output is working right? I went over my math so many times, but I cannot see where I made a mistake, so I'm out of ideas.
Can anybody help?
Sorry about the long post, but I tried to include as much info as possible.

Always check your wide band offset while the engine is running .
That could be one issue.
I'll work on it more today and post up the results.
Thanks for the suggestions.
