Huh, can't believe the ra unit can't simply keep a log/history of parameters on its own that you can access whenever over a usb cable

It does keep log, except there is no way to export.
There was no need for it, since it is much easier to use the Portal, so there was no effort to create such function.
Our efforts were better spent on the Portal and other features.
You can most definitely write your own code to export that data if it is something you prefer instead of using any of the other alternatives.

On a slightly different note why when I have the ra connected via usb does the ra unit flash red a few times every couple of minutes like it's being accessed even though I don't load anything on the pc? While the red light is flashing my two WP40'S change back to full 100% too (like they are no longer being controlled by the ra during the flashing red light period)

This happens when an application on your PC tries to access the COM port.
Everytime the COM port is opened, the controller will reboot.
Another instance that this would happen is when the USB host in your PC is reset. This usually happens when you plug another device on any USB port in the computer.
If you troubleshoot your USB drivers and make sure that every device is correctly configured, it should solve your problem.
You can also remove the reset jumper in the head unit, which would prevent the controller from rebooting everytime the COM port is opened, but that would also prevent it from being programmed. You would have to place the jumper again to enable programming again.
