wheel speed sensors

Hi guys, how are you all?

Summary;
3rd jan the escort was on the rollers, it made 350bhp at 20psi,I am quite happy on pump fuel. I know we can get more but for now no need to advance and go in the limits of timing. Also i would probably go the more boost way instead of more advance if in future i would need more bhp.
Had a small problem with clutch sticking and with the gearbox sensor so i had to take all apart, was really busy and just now we got back to put everything all together.

Well
fitted new rear wheel speed sensors, should read up to 5khz.

The car is on the jacks and without wheels . i took a data log of what they are reading. The reading seems to be realy unstable ,it fluctuates all the way. I am logging it at 100hz. Am i too concerned for nothing or should these be perfect. Please have a look at the log. this is a log started on 1st, went up to 6th no clutch, then revved it up and down again.
Is this a good reading? From what i can see DTA reads the timing between each hole . Does it average for example 3 hole or maybe more when the speed goes up?

I am not concerned about how nice the graph on logging is, i am concerned on how will it affect the car.

Thanks and regards

I also checked the diagnostic screen.

On high speed the reading between left and right vary.
on 14000 counts on of them reads around 30 counts less.
diff has lsd so they should be the same.
car is jacked up

Is this considered normal?

Regards

That's about 0.2% inaccurate - subject to the data on the sensor, i'd say its fairly accurate - sort of equates to 10.5 feet in 1 mile!

They maybe look a little noisy...but what sensor, trigger, teeth, etc etc ??

How do they look when logged at the normal 10Hz ?
