First you need to set up a configuration which will read all the sensors from the PCM.

Many people have posted useful configurations over on hptuners forums. Just download them and adjust them to the screen size of your laptop. Move the gauges.

Learn the acronyms of different sensors and learn to read the gauges.

Do a few datalogging just to get a idea of what reads what during various rpms.

Do all this before u begin adjusting ur tune!

Mr. Banish has a DVD as well, a bit pricey imho for what it is but good help for the clueless and positive reinforcement for those who have already done some legwork.
