Configuring Onboard Datalogging

| 00:00 | - With ECU logging, we can control exactly which parameters are logged, what situation the logging will start and stop and at what rate each parameter is logged. |
| 00:09 | This makes sure you are only seeing the information you are interested in and maximises the use of the onboard logging memory when you are not logging to a laptop. |
| 00:18 | The logging setup window can be accessed by clicking on the setup logging option from the drop down logging menu. |
| 00:25 | You can see another window open up with tabs for both PC and ECU logging. |
| 00:30 | Let's have a look at a few of the options by configuring the ECU logging. |
| 00:34 | First we have the default logging rate. |
| 00:36 | This is the default rate that each parameter will be logged at although we can change it for individual parameters if we want. |
| 00:43 | I'm going to choose 25 hertz. |
| 00:46 | Sampling inputs at excessive logging rates isn't necessary and will just use more logging memory. |
| 00:52 | Typically logging rates between one and 25 hertz will be adequate for most inputs. |
| 00:59 | To the right we have the control conditions to start and stop the logging. |
| 01:03 | You may want to use a switch for the driver to turn logging on or off or you can set some parameters for the logging to turn on and off automatically. |
| 01:11 | I'm going to set the logging to switch on any time RPM exceeds 3000 RPM and stay active for 10 seconds once the RPM drops below this threshold. |
| 01:21 | To the left is the full list of available parameters and we can double click on items we want to log. |
| 01:28 | These will then be transferred over to the logged parameters window on the right. |
| 01:32 | Let's add engine RPM, throttle position, engine temperature and manifold pressure. |
| 01:37 | You can see that we can change the logging rate to the right of the parameter. |
| 01:41 | I'm going to drop the rate for engine temperature to two hertz as this parameter doesn't tend to change very fast. |
| 01:48 | If you add a parameter you don't want, you can remove it by highlighting it and clicking the remove items button. |
