Depending upon the data frame, (1, 2, i, 4-4A, 5, 6), for the CL they may have just the left control column and wheel position, or both left & right control column and wheel position and I believe just one data frame also has control column & control wheel force.

As may be deduced from discussion above, this will obviously be different (more elaborate) for the NG due aircraft manufacturing date and FAA data frame requirements.

If the recorder for the NG is the same as the CL and if it is FDAU-equipped but with no DMU then the QAR will collect the same data that is going to the SSFDR; if FDAU and DMU-equipped, a separate, more complex data frame with higher resolution and sample rates, (still proprietary and very expensive), is possible but as some here will know, the QAR is not crash-protected.
