The software costs $40 and there is a trial version. Their MegaLog viewer opens most logs - ECUTek logs are not listed but it opens them just fine. But I'm curious about the "official" EcuTek labels - does that mean that the column labels must match something inside the viewer? That is, I can't create a column with a custom label?ĮFI Analytics is the company that developed TunerStudio for the Megasquirt platform. Of course it didn't like it - XML and CSV are VERY different animals. I just tried opening a DD log with ProEcu w/o cleaning it up. I suspect that if you replaced the column labels in say a DashDaq log with the "official" EcuTek ones, and cleaned up some header stuff in the first few lines, then you could use the ProEcu viewers. The ProEcu logging format is CSV with column labels. At this point in my life I'm just not up for the work involved. I'd especially love to hear from somebody who knows where a good viewer can be had, hopefully cheap.īTW, before anybody accuses me of potential "commercial activity", let me emphasize that all this is for my own use, and I have no intention of popping a product out of this. I haven't seen what EcuTek uses maybe it's worth having, but I'm trying not to spend a bundle. I've searched the web for viewers to try, and they're universally terrible (although each in it's own way). OK, maybe pictures "too", since I realize that there are things you can do at the spreadsheet level that wouldn't be possible pictorially. I know some folks (Jay in particular) love to use spreadsheets, but I'm just not good enough to visualize what's happening with just numbers - I want pictures. I've toyed with a binary format, but that means no other tool will ever be able to use the files (text files could at least be converted to another format).

The CSV format that seems to be becoming popular has very low self-definition capability.

DynoScan uses an XML format that has lots of capability to it, but I have very little visibility into what the viewer can handle - it may be able to do more than I know how to use. I've pretty much got all that now.įor a log format, I want something completely self-defining, and yet low bandwidth. I wanted much higher data performance than I was seeing from existing loggers, and the ability to manipulate the data before it was logged. I wanted to log on an SD card, so I didn't ever have to bring a computer to the car. I improved considerably on the logger itself, but GUI software isn't a strong point for me, so I've stuck with the viewer, which sucks worse every time I use it.įor a logger, I wanted something I could just leave in place, and log every drive automatically. In order to feed the viewer, I built a custom piece of hardware, and wrote some DashDyno-compatible firmware for it. I got it with a borrowed DashDyno, which sucked on its own, and I returned to the lender. I've been using the DynoScan viewer, which comes with DashDyno. Please tell me what you like and don't like, want and don't want.

So this thread is to discuss choices available, their strengths and weaknesses, and logging needs from a driver and tuner perspective. If you do use somebody else's format, you're stuck with their viewer, and they seem to suck. And unless you stick to somebody else's format, you have to also write a log viewer. That leads to a choice of log formats, and there are lots of trade-offs to be made there. I've built my own from scratch, because so far I just haven't found one worth having. I am interested in seeing what HPT is coming out with.As some of you may know, I've gotten deeper into logging than is probably healthy. I haven't found it necessary enough to really spend the time following through to see if this would work. From there you would need to create a graph for each MP and filter the data into each MP.

You could use a fuel trim modified MAF value in this equation if you wanted to repopulate the table based on the wideband. If your fuel trims are dialed in and MAF values accurate with the SD tables zeroed out you get new values from strictly MAF data. Use the calculated MAP(inHg) values to get the appropriate units or inHg/LBm and inHg/lbm^2. I was basically using RPM(Rev/min) and MAF(LB/min) in a math, divide MAF by RPM and mins cancel out multiply that by 1/2 to get the LB/ stroke.

Coping them out into excel is an option but it was too time consuming for me. The numbers were being cut off and hard to see what the actual values were to make sure my method was giving reasonable values. I was actually working on a way to get graphs of values to populate the tables with, but I was having trouble with the scanner and such large numbers.
