This morning I decided to create a simple gui for ME7Logger(awesome program btw)...It is a single executable just unzip and drop it in the root of your ME7Logger directory(the one with the bin, defs, ecus, etc. directories).  Create a shortcut to the exe on your desktop to make it easy to run.

***FIRST TIME USERS OF ME7Logger*** I believe this will make it simpler to use(read the quickstart guide two posts down), but you still need to read the README for ME7Logger to understand how it works and how to edit your config files.  Also this download is just the GUI, you will need ME7Logger as well.

Features(also see screenshot below):

• Select which config file to use for logging(you can also edit, copy and delete config files within the gui).
• Set almost all the parameters available for me7logger.exe
• Create ECU characteristics file(using me7info obviously)
• Create ECU template config file
• View and delete log files
• Saves all previous settings, so next time you open you are ready to go

Please use VisualME7Logger instead

Great job! Thanks!

Quick start guide for me7logger and gui:
1. Download and unzip me7logger into a dir of your choice(ex: c:\program files\me7logger)
2. Download and unzip me7logger_gui into that same dir
3(Optional). Right click on me7logger_gui, send to, Desktop(create shortcut)
4. Open me7logger_gui, click create ecu file, browse to and select your ecu image.
5. Click create template file, browse and select your ecu image again. This will create a template config file based on the variables available to your ecu.
6. Highlight the new template file and click copy, put in a name for the copied file.
7. Highlight the config file you just created and click edit, all the variables will be commented out, just delete the ; in front of any variables you want to log.

You now should be ready to start logging, read the readme included with me7logger(under the docs folder) for more information and warnings.

Once you've got it working, you can copy your config file to create different configs for different types of logging, and switching between them is as easy as selecting a different config and clicking start!

Awesome. Will give it a spin since to date I was just too lazy to try gui version... Ecux just works fine and is familiar so I had no real incentive to scale the learning curve for command line version of logger :)

A problem  :'(:

* Hit "Create ECU file"
* Tried to open my BIN file and got this:
   "'C:\Tuning\Software\ME7' is not recognized [...]"



I don't see any "ME7" executables in the bin folder. This got cut off maybe?


Thanks.

Great work!

Yup, looks like it was cutting it off...turns out I needed to do double quotes around the parameters I was passing to run me7info and logger in some OSs.  Give the new version (1.3) a try and let me know if it fixed your problem.

Hi, wanted to say that I finally found time to try the fix it and it makes life much easier :) Works 100% now.

Thanks.

Awesome program, really nice for logging.
However i noticed somthing tonight when trying to log on a car.

I when follow the steps of creating the templates from a backup of my ECU etc..this is fine.However when i try to log i get the error, "EngineId mismatch".

I am not sure why it does not see the extra digits in my EngineId.Please see below, i am not sure if this is something you are aware of.

You can see my EngineId highlighted in yellow here.

An here you can see the error in the logger when trying to initize logging.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Robbie

The logger isn't reading it past the space. Just edit the config file for EngineId 1.8TT/LAUNCH.

EngineId isn't provided in the template config only ECU file.

My Bad, i found it.Thanks

This is an awesome little tool, i've done several logs and it works perfect.

Thank you j2mc

Cheers

Robbie

Thanks So much

Great tool, thanks.

A quick request for an update. This UI and Setzi's logger are great to keep on a USB stick for use with multiple computers. The auto saved config file saves the drive letter. This makes the prog crash on loading if the next PC doesn't inumerate it the same. Could you catch this situation and revert to default?

Just updated to v1.4 in the first post, that should fix your problem, but let me know either way since I'm not able to test it right now.

Great, thank you. I'll test this in the morning.

Hey just wondering where to download this add on? Im excited sounds like a great plugin. thanks

IT is attached to first post on this thread.

FINALLY got around to trying this out! (wife is out with the kids) ;D

For someone that is not IT savy, this was pretty easy :D

I want to move away from using ECUx and start using these tools however I don't know which variables to enable in the config file.  Would someone mind sharing the common fields to log?

Thanks,
Nick

I used the app to create a config template, then deleted all the ones without an alias(most, if not all the ones you want will have an alias), then just uncommented all the ones I wanted...since you can log so much at once you don't have to be as picky.  For example here is some of what I log:
enginespeed
speed
gear
baropressure
boostdesired
boostactual
wgdutycycle
maf
load
loadspecd
loadcorrected
coolant temp
iat
CFs for all cyl
misfires for all cyl

I may have missed some plus i'll add some others depending on why I'm logging, but this should get you started.

I'm getting a large string of errors when trying to create an ECU file from my stock bin file pulled with Nefmoto as well as one that I've had some modifications made to. Is ME7Logger limited to the earlier ME7 ECU's? I've got an 04 Passat 1.8t that I'm trying to work with. See the attached screen shot.

Looks like your problem has something to do with me7logger(not the gui), you will probably need to run me7info from the command line(pretty simple just see me7logger's readme), then ask about your problem in the me7logger thread.

I just wanted to say that I am using your GUI daily and it is very convenient without a need to create/click batch files in fodlers etc. Thanks for this tool.

Glad people are finding it useful!

small request. Can you change the way you're launching the command windows from normal to one with "/C" (see "CMD /?") so that the process terminates when one presses CTRL+C in ME7 logger and not stays with command window open? This also is visible when doing one read out in me7 logger, it stays in command window as well.

+1

I originally had it set that way, but if there was an error in the logger the cmd window would close immediately and you couldn't see what the error was.  

However when I have some time again to work on it I might be able to add an option to automatically close the cmd window when done.

ME7 logger returns errorlevel or environment return code when it encounters as error. It's value is 1 or higher than 1. If everything is ok, the value is 0. But verify that.

This way, once you return from the shell, you can check the code and possibly pop up a warning. But please make the warning also an option. I will know when there is an error since the logger window won't be visible :)

Thanks!

When I click to start logging, it says "could not connect to ECU", any idea what can cause this ? I have my tuner J-Fonz .bin file (not my original audi s4 2.7tt ecu file). 

First post updated with new version 1.5
Added option to automatically close the command window when logging is finished.
Sorry, lots of other things have been coming up and I haven't had time to do any tuning or update my apps...but I finally got around to at least updating some of my apps.



The GUI is just a wrapper for the me7logger, so if you've followed the guide and can't get it to work I would recommend reading the docs with me7logger, then try directly from the cmd line, then ask for help in the me7logger thread.  If you can get it to run from the cmd line but can't from the GUI then I might be able to help.

When trying to creat ecu file I get a message ....system cannot find specified path ..... What gives... any help thanks

Is me7logger in the same directory as me7loggergui? Did it ask you to choose your ecu bin?

Had this same problem. I realized I had put the GUI into the "bin" folder in "ME7Logger", instead of just the directory. This was a while ago, but I think that's what I had done to get that error. :P

So I'm apr flashed and my .bin file is not here to download  4BO 907 551T audi a6 2001 tip ...so is there anyway to get my .bin file without benching my ecu ? I've tried already with nefmoto i goto flashing, memory layout, then read ecu and it says Something like ecu security blah blah blah..

Try searching for your answer, I seem to remember reading about people with similar problems.

U are a God! I could not figure out how to get a .ecu from my bin to save my life till this! Thanks!  ;D

Never mind

New version(see first post)...you can now specify the logger's output file.

Damn, I was just thinking yesterday to ask you. Could you make your GUI to ask after done logging like:

Save file as "bische1_20130109_042531" -> the quote in a textbox, so one could add like 'bische1_20130109_042531_3rdgearpull' and just press enter to save the log with the comment.

I have like 5gb of logs just from my own car, going back to check something out is a PITA if im looking for a 3rd gear pull log when I have have like 15 logs from the same date.

I hope this makes any sense, thanks anyway for this update!

Only if that's an option you specify somewhere. I don't need a pop up everytime logging ends.... :)

I missed a version or two release, thanks for closing the CMD window after logger closes, make it much easier to drive and log.

tried version 1.6., selected bin. error message: The system cannot find the path specified
rebooted
tried again: same
moved the bin file to the same directory where executable files for gui and logger are ("bin" folder): same

downloaded and tried version 1.5: same

tried different bin file: same

System: windows 7 - 64 bit.

The GUI.exe should be in the parent directory of the bin directory(not in the bin directory).

Seemed to have worked. Thanks!
There is still hope I get this thing to work and actual LOG!

Logged data size is 20 bytes.
can't locate function FT_GetLibraryVersion in dll
Initialization failed, exiting ...
exiting (cause=0x1)..."

what's the probleM ? i try to reinstal but without succes...

Wohoo! Been wanting this for a while. 

You had a chance to play with your A6 much since the timing belt change?

Not much, refined my tune a little bit but that's all...I started my masters and had a second kid so pretty much no time left for hobbies.

Thank you we appreciate it!

Hello there ! I am trying to finally input ALS and LC to my Cupra but I am having trouble with ME7Logger  tool to id all the adressess.

I got the following error  " restypes 058x ->JMP not found in 2nd stage selector <889232> .


I tried various original ME7.5 files ,but no luck the same thing.

The file.ecu is made , but lots of adresses are missing , so I have only found a few to proceed with my project.

Does anyone know what is this error and how to fix ? I cant seem to find anything .

Thank you   

Is it a 512kb file you read out as 1024? That causes all sorts of issues.

No didilinger , it is a Seat Ibiza FR 20vt file -my car- .
It is 1024kb

I have this problem with my own FR ori , my brothers Cupra ori file and also some original files found on the net with different SW ,both from these cars.. They are ME7.5.5 Ibizas 1024kb files

Could i get some help please
trying to log but get error..

i think ur config file is bad

how can i fix it?

It tells you which line in the file has an error right in the output. Open your config file, count from the top down (ever line, even unused) until you get to the one that the output says is "illegal". Figure out what you did wrong, and correct it.

Source is attached to the first post if anyone wants to modify it, feel free to send me your changes if you think it will benefit everyone else and I'll integrate them into the main release.

PS - sorry for the lack of comments, these things always start out as a super simple script for my own personal use(which is also why it's written in AHK).

I'm having a rough time getting this setup correctly. So I've installed all versions of both this GUI and setzi62's ME7logger in my C:/program files/logger directory. I then opened each version to see if I can get it to locate my bin when I choose "create ECU file" - from there I get an error message that states it cannot find specified path.

I've read through the readme but I don't see an answer as to why this is happening. This is a whole different level of computer savy I've yet to grasp but I'm dead set on learning what I can. With the weather consistently frigid in the north east here god knows I have time to get myself up to par.

Any advice or tips would be great.

try using the visual logger program to set up you config file.

awesome

 ;D congratulations!!! And thank you for sharing this tool !!!!!!!

Very great tool :)

two things I missing or maybe to blind to find  :'(

1) ME7Logger overwirtes lastest log, if I just start logging again..
Do I miss a up-counting-function of ME7GUI (or maybe ME7Logger) when I start several logs without closing ME7GUI after each log ?

2) I just can stop logging, when I "x" the logging window.
This is quite difficult to reach, when your labtop is on passanger seat and you are logging without a secound person. Is it possible to have a "big" button to start and stop logging from GUI, or is there a easy short-cut for this function, witch I did not finde jet ?

Use VisualME7Logger instead

http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=4830.0title=

Options -> Log file -> Use default log file

Canny get past the 'select ecu image'. Using image I got from full read, named as part number. Running ME7Logger as administrator.
Get dialogue box,

"ME7Logger_GUI.exe
The system cannot find the path specified.
OK {<< i'm sure that is sarcastic!!}"

Even tried with stock bin from NefMoto.
Have checked com port is 1, have checked connects with VCDS.

The bin file i read, was me7checked too.

Any advise?

"2. Go to this thread and download/unzip the latest version of Setzi's ME7logger (as of this post, it's V1.17, it's attached to the first post in that thread):
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/foru...hp?topic=837.0

3. Go to this thread and download the GUI attached to the first post. Place the GUI in the ME7logger folder. Make a shortcut for the GUI on your desktop:
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/foru...c=1079.0title="


So place Gui in Dist folder. et voila.
