I downloaded evoscan and i'm confused on a few things:

1. How do I view my logs?
2. Do I need another program to view my logs?
3. How do i save my logs (on evoscan or different program)?
4. Do the gauges/graphs work for evoscan 0.8v?

 

to view your logs you will need excel. First you go out log your pass and then click stop datalogging. Then it will automatically save as an csv file. Then to view it you go to All programs/evoscan 0.8/saved datalogs/ and you will see your runs saved there from eariest to latest logs.

 

thanks man

 

is this the only way?

 

You could work with the raw text file I suppose. Just find where TPS goes to 100 then count across to timing, knocksum, revs, etc... To do this all you need is Notepad or Wordpad.

This would be a huge pita and would only be feasible with short logs.

Somewhat better would be a way to view the data in tabular form. This makes the "counting across" part painless. Excel can do this. I bet some free online shareware could also do this.

Best of all would be graphing all the various logged parameters with respect to time (log number), all on the same graph. Excel can do this. This makes finding the various regions where you went WOT, and which gear, relatively painless.

Its possible some free online shareware can do simple scatterplots from tabular data. Google "scatterplot shareware"

If you are an old skool big ballah you could work with command line text parsing utilities and write some mega macro that will parse a text log, find the regions of interest and print the parameters of interest at the timestamps of interest to a separate file.

This would work but I'm not seriously suggesting it.

 

If don't have or want to buy Excel, try OpenOffice (it's Calc application is similar to Excel).

There are other log analyzers out there... I use Data Log Lab, but its not free, I have to update my thread with the new raw log processor and universal definition file.. But it gives me the best "visual" look at the Evoscan data..
