11.1.3 Data log File Management
Data log files may be saved to disk, loaded and erased in exactly the same manner as maps.
From the Data log sub-menu, you can do the following:
S - save data log to disk. This function is only relevant if you have previously
performed a data log to memory.
L - load a data log from disk.
E - erase a data log from disk.
When saving a Data log to disk, you should also save the Maps being used at the time of the
Data log. It is advised to do this before the Data log is taken. Saving the Maps makes sure
that all the engine information (including the Identification and the set-ups) is saved to disk.
Before loading a Data log from disk, you should load the Maps that were saved with it so that
the programming software knows the set-up of the ECU and can calibrate the data properly.
WARNING:
DO NOT LOAD A DATA LOG WHEN ONLINE TO THE ECU, OR
ELSE THE MAPS YOU LOAD WILL OVERWRITE THE MAPS IN
THE ECU. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW A SAVED DATA LOG, SWITCH
TO OFFLINE MODE, LOAD THE APPROPRIATE MAP, AND THEN
LOAD THE DATA LOG.
11.1.4 Printing Data logs
You can print Data logs to any ASCII parallel printer, such as IBM compatible dot matrix
printers. This will print the current view only. If you wish to print another view, switch to
that view and print again. To print a Data log press P in the Data log sub-menu.
The software will ask if you wish to print to the printer or to a text file. Press F to print to a
file, or P to print to a printer. The software is designed to print to a dot matrix printer. If you
do not have a dot matrix printer, print the Data log to a file and then print the file from DOS
or from a word processor / editor. Also, the text file can be loaded into a spreadsheet if extra
analysis is required.
The information in the Data log is divided into pages of data. The total number of pages in the
current Data log is displayed. The software will ask for the numbers of the first and last pages
you want to print. If you want to print the entire Data log, enter 1 for the first page, and the
number displayed as the last page.
The system pauses to allow you to set up the printer. If you do not want to print you can leave
the print function by pressing ESC. If you want to re-enter the start and end page numbers
press R. Any other key begins the printing. Before you start printing the printer must be
ONLINE and must have power and paper. Once the printing has started you can abort the
printing at any time by hitting ESC.
