LC-1

Postby Mingi » Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:51 pm

Do I do anything other than plug in the LC-1 to my laptop to have evoscan log the output?

awsome job Evo4mad, also i will see if my zeitronix work with it. i think you have to set it up for the software to see what comm the signal is comming from.

I noticed that you added a custom request. that is fantastic I was just going to ask if there was a way to put our own requsts into the ecm to try and figure out some other data that way you are not the only one :D
I will be trying some requests over the next week or so and will let everyone know what I find.

My contribution to the EvoScan project..

www.dataloglab.com

This is one of the best log analyzers I've ever seen, It has native support for many ECU's and has a universal importer tool that you can create a definition for EvoScan to digest its log files..

I dont have enough complete logs (all columns logged) to create a definition for the program, but I know for a fact some of you guys do, and have the time and patience to create a universal definition file for it..

Its well worth the effort to use this program, I used it for 2 years with my UTEC and does a nice job of calculating horsepower and torque along with visualizing all sorts of useful data...


If we want to use Data Log Lab, Either their software has to support hexidecimal, I doubt they will, or EvoScan should output should have an option to record data as a raw decimal conversion from hex.. let DLL definition file handle the other conversions.

Different type of application altogether..

I have made progress with the definition in the program though.. I should have a working definition by the weekend..

EvoScan .8 outputs its data in Decimal, and it has mostly appropriate header data that can be used by the software.

I created this, which might help you MalibuJack. I can't seem to load it with the demo version though. It keeps telling me I have an Invalid Header Attribute but I've checked the spelling a million times with their help file and everything I have listed is valid. Maybe a second set of eyes will help.

Code: Select all

Now I'm confused. I took their DataDefinition example and thier column example and loaded in into a text file. I then tried to load that file as a Universal Data log format and it gave the same error message I mentioned above :)

Ok, this loads and seems to work. Give it a try Malibu and let me know if it works for you.

the wideband did not work i have the LM-1.......

but i had a problem when i started data logging...... i was idleing and i started
to data log my rpms jumped up to around 2500rpm and i throw a code... i turned the car off and started it back up everything was fine no code then i started to datalog and the same thing happened..... what is wrong???

Are you supposed to have both of the connecters hooked up when your logging or just the OB2 port?

Laakness... Definition works good, only there are spaces appended to the code you posted, you probably should attach it as a file to avoid issues.. I was almostt as far as you got when I noticed a issue.. DLLs definition files dont allow combining of column data...

Hence the One glitch I found, Evoscan breaks out the time and seconds as separate columns, they need to be combined otherwise you can only have 60 seconds of data displayed when it goes back to zero it all drops off the end... Hopefully Evo4Mad can give us a cumulatve seconds from start of logging column, or combine the time and seconds columns together.. I havent found a workaround other than to use the samples (LogID) but the software doesnt maintain a specific sample rate, so none of the time calculations work right..

Hamish, ya think you can accomodate something for us so we can also use this tool? Maybe release sourcecode so I can create a simple logger for this?

Ah, nice catch. A simple perl script might be able to read in the CSV and combine those two fields to create one time field.

I was wondering why the data didn't look really long in the graphs :lol:
