I'm not sure if this has been metioned b4 but for those who use the standard me7logger to log at there local data strip. I found it rather handy to apply a peice of adhesive on the Enter, Cntl and C keys on your laptop. It makes it easier,cleaner and not as risky to start and capture a log, especially at night. Just thought I'd share to those who hasn't thought of it

Nice.

I was trying to log for months and one day on my way home from the grocery store with my fiance I started a log and put my laptop under my seat. When we got home I was like "man babe I'm so sick of this shit, How the hell do I stop the log correctly? it says ^C and nothing I try works..." She replies "did you ever try ctrl+C?"...  :-X  :-\ ... "I love you"  :-*

If you use ME7VisualLogger all you have to do is press enter to start, and enter to stop.   8)

...Not to mention a real time graph display that you can stare at while driving at 100mph.  Be sure to smoke a cig and check your facebook status at the same time as well.

I've been meaning to check this, but It's easier just ask here.  :)  Is there an option to rename the log after each start/stop session? Possibly "use default log file config_date_time"? Sometimes on a long run, I like to have multiple same gear logs, but want to keep them separated. Thanks

..

yep, what he said.

Thanks, gents.

Im sure theres a better method but I renamed my temp starting with a Z so all new logs fall to the bottom.. keep an eye on the time you log, than rename the file after you get back to the lab for viewing. I only get between 4-7 logs on a logging night so its not too annoying to do it that way 

"use default log file config_date_time"?

what he said  :)

Works great. Is there a way to change the default place it saves logs to?

probably not.  where does it save to now with that option on?  I never use that option myself, so I forget.

Right now it saves to the "logs" folder of the program. There are a lot of other files in that same folder for the system, so if you do a lot of logging it takes a bit of housekeeping to keep everything sorted. Would be nice to make a folder for each car, and then have it do its thing.

Just clean it,Take notes(time), Log, smash ppl on your ride and than go back home and then interpret it. No reason to have a million logs in folder..

Thanks for the suggestion. I never realized I could actually go back in and organize them myself afterwards. Should I create actual folders? Take notes?

Yes u can actually go back and rename the main logs you need so they don't get mixed in with ur future logs. Theres a check box on the logger "write logs to file;" which leads me to believe that you can direct where u want your logs to go but I personally don't see anything wrong with the "logs" folder as long as its organized. Keep in mind I'm still rocking with the standard GUI as I use an older version Intel with Xp.

You don't already do this? :P

You guys are killing me.

Hell no I didn't know how to organize my computer, and rename/ create folders until atdub mentioned it. I have this 8gb folder full of datalogs just randomly placed. No wonder it's taking so looooong to learn this tuning stuff. I can't tell you how many times I pulled all-nighters trying to figure out why requested boost was so low in my NA files. Searching for days, even weeks for LDRXN in 12v VR6 files.

So, I triend to ask one of my buddies, and this is what he tells me

i think so.
instead if "New folder", "New folder (2)" ?

What does this mean? I thought all the folders already came with Windows Vista?

I think you lost me alittle bit Mr VW, actually I think I might even cry..*after all this time ive been seeing(reading) you lol I'm just messing. Just try to ask specifically what you're trying to achieve with your interface. An overfilled file is just annoying to me and I clean it cause I hate scrolling.

I have to ask you to try to further help you. What do you do with ur logs after you capture it?

When I'm done logging I create a new notepad file and copy/paste the most recent log to a new notepad file. I'm always sure to select all of the data collected from my log and paste it in the new notepad file just as it would appear in a brand new fresh log, starting with:

**********************************************************************************************************
****************************************************************************

ME7Logger.exe blahblahblah log log numbers log log vape and check facebook at 100mph log log log log  8)

Sorry, not create a new log file. make a copy of the original log file, open the duplicate log in notepad and erase everything BUT your most recent log. To easily locate the most recent log select "find" or "locate text" or whatever it is from the menu bar and perform a search for "06A906032DL" or whatever your particular ECU# is and click "next" or "down" until it can't find any more text matching your search. Once you can't go any lower in the log file, you've reached your destination. Delete everything above the stars and save. Then rename your file but keep .csv in the name.

Sounds hard but honestly its pretty quick and easy imo.

Why would you do this if you can ask the logger to keep things in separate files for you?

Just trolling you, atdub.  :)

I keep no less than 30 separate computers with 5 different OS between them organized, clean, updated and virus free. I thought it was funny that you (and others) thought I might not be able to do these simple things like organize my data.

I knew something was up you little jokester you..

Honestly I began to really believe what you were saying was true, that you didn't know how to do that stuff... Because I read this on another forum once "ECU tuning takes an individual thats one half computer geek/one half petrol head.. and rarely does an individual meet that profile"... I've always remembered reading that because I strongly believe that statement is right on the money! I bet that half the members on nefmoto are absolutely coo coo puffs about their audi, seat, skoda or volkswagen... But when it comes to computers, they type with at least 1 acronym, 3 spelling faults and 6 grammatical errors every 60 seconds and all of that at a blazing fast rate of 7 WPM!!! who ho hoooaaa there rusty walace, going a little fast aren't we?  ::) ... My point is, that a lot of members we're probably balls meets chin with computers when they started lurking the forum... But those that stuck with it and kept putting in work probably learned a lot about basic computer functions and navigation through the windows operating system (get more used to long term computer use for more than just checking facebook and google which results in a more natural relationship with the keyboard, how to create and manage new folders, program installation and setup execution, navigating through various directories and building a more personal relationship between the user and the computer... porn)... You get the idea.

But besides all that I quickly realized you couldn't have been serious... Because you've been a member on here way too long to have not taught yourself how to do the stuff you were talking about lol

IMO the part that is missing from your "two parts" is detail oriented...

All it takes is one small error in a single byte, and your file is f'd.

If you can't manage to spell words or punctuate consistently (wrong is fine, it might be out of ignorance), you're in deep shit.

And forget about just experience with Windows.

You need at least some command line experience, and if all you have is what you learned from cmd.exe..
