Introduction to Data Logging
01.23
| 00:00 | - As we've already learned through this course, for the most part we're not going to be able to make our tuning changes live while the engine is running. |
| 00:07 | Even in the instances where we can live tune the ECU, we're still going to need to rely heavily on datalogging to know what and where to make our tuning changes. |
| 00:17 | This is because if we're performing a wide open throttle ramp test on a dyno or on the road or racetrack for that matter, we're not likely to be able to make a change at the same time. |
| 00:27 | Instead, we'll be reviewing how the engine performed based on our datalog. |
| 00:32 | In many ways, this isn't a lot different to tuning an aftermarket standalone ECU, as we're in the same situation when we're performing ramp runs with these. |
| 00:41 | However, the process of logging the ECU and for that matter, what parameters to log is a little more complex. |
| 00:48 | Rather than a built in logger with the tuning software, we're going to need to rely on a third party option. |
| 00:54 | While OLS doesn't provide us with a logger, most of the hardware tools that we'll be using to read and write the ECU will also include logging functionality, however not all of these are created equal. |
| 01:08 | In this section of the course, we'll dive into some of the finer details when it comes to datalogging, finding out what you need to know and what you might need to log in order to help optimise your tuning. |
