Logging etc

Post by GrahamS4 » Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:42 pm

Hi,

Just a quickie about logging and being new to vagcom in general.

Say I am logging Block 003 and maybe another with a view to some FATS times.

Does the log keep logging (within reason) until I say stop or is there a (again within reason) limitation?

Rather than keep stopping in between a session of say 3 runs, what I am thinking of is prepare logging, drive in 3rd gear under 4200rpm. Hit enter key to start logging as starting first run. When 6500rpm is passed, hit enter key to insert a mark. Keep driving, slow to 3rd gear well under 4200rpm, start accelerating and hit enter to enter a mark signifying start of new run.

Just trying to figure out how you guys do it?

Any other tips, must tries to explore?

Regards

Graham

It keeps logging until you stop it - you can let it run for 20 mins+ np problem. Worst case is that the file would have too many rows to import in to Excel (>60k). I would start the log and let it run until you have finished messing about. I don't even bother making marks - you can find the relevant points in Excel easily enough by searching for WOT in the data.
