Before loading a Datalog from disk, you should load the Maps that were saved with it so that
the programming software knows the setup of the ECU and can calibrate the data properly. Do
not load a Datalog 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 Datalog, switch to offline mode, load the
appropriate map, and then load the Datalog.
