3 Starting up LogWorks
Connect OUT port of the last device in the Log-Chain to a free serial port on your computer and
start the LogWorks program. If an LM-1 is used, the LM-1 can either be currently operating in the
car or can be connected (running from its internal battery) to the computer. Real-time logging can
of course only be done when running the Log-Chain (can be as small as just an LM-1) in the car.
For Real time display, logging or download from an LM-1 make sure no other
program (including LM Programmer or LM-1 Manager) is using the selected serial port.
LogWorks can handle channels coming from a MTS Log Chains as well as so called virtual
channels that are created by non MTS devices. Plug-ins for almost any device that supplies
engine data can be created. This includes OBDII data readers, aftermarket ECUs and
piggybacks, dynos or other devices. One restriction is that at least one MTS device has to be
connected to the computer for real time logging.
For log viewing, LogWorks is also automatically started when double-clicking on a .log file.
