Question about logfiles
If I 'lost sync', even momentarily, would this be recorded in the logfile?
I would like to know if my cam-sensor on a '00 miata is being reliable. My gut feeling is that it is, and if the log-files could verify this (perhaps some status bit) then I could stop building two of every circuit, and concentrate my efforts where they will do the most good.
Hoping to stay focused here.

The logging system isn't presently designed to record fast events like that, it reports that status at the instant your tuning software requests the data.

What about having a variable that gets incremented each time an error occurs? you could ensure no overflow somehow and manually copy it to rtc and reset it and keep a record there of how many over the last X ms, s, min etc. Some scheme like that just has to work for letting you know if something happened over the last <time period> which for that is all you really care about. If a number is used it could keep count of just how many their were too.
Perhaps each rtc, record the variable, and average it with the last one and zero it? if a short is used the chances of overflow in a clock tick would be pretty low.
Thoughts?

I'd have to lay a little groundwork, installing software for compiling it all - I just wanted to make sure something like that was possible. Knowing if my issue is always at a specific RPM or just mostly there would let me know if it was noise or software/software-settings, I should hope.
Solder's question is right in line with my own - before I go tromping on well thought out variables, I'd love a suggestion as to which are open season.
