Title: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on July 29, 2011, 03:58:15 AM Pushing a little bit forward on the logging front ...
Here is my ME7Logger package now available for everybody, has been tested successfully on different cars. It consists of two tools: one to generate ecu characteristics files (similar to properties) out of ecu images, second to log data. No GUI for klicky guys, no graphics, just console programs. /sales_mode=on ;) Will outperform commercially available tools on speed & flexibility: - Up to 50 samples per second possible. - Up to 127 independent variables can be logged at same time. - Open for expansions: whatever you want to log, you can define it. - No fiddling with licenses/hacked programs needed. /sales_mode=off - It's free for hobby use, - It's NOT for noobs. Not a connect-and-log tool, before logging you should have your ecu image available. Last but not least: buy a commercial program if you want to make someone liable for damages/not working logging tools :) Update 12.08.2011, some fixes/changes done: - Experimental FTDI native driver support added, option -f - Logger start time synchronization added, option -t - Logger absolute timestamp added, option -a - Allow TAB's also in trace config files - Variables zwbasar_<xx> for all available cylinders - Variables wkraa_<xx> limited to available cylinders - Minor changes, some variables added Update 09.09.2011, some of the requested changes/fixes done: - Single sample option added (result is output just to the window) - More variables determined for images with code variant (missing tans(IAT) for one image) - zwbasar_<xx> now really available for all available cylinders - Some more variables added - Some alias names added, some changed Update 02.04.2012 to version 1.17: (Updated 04.04.2012 the ME7Info in the .zip, fixed path error) Changes in ME7Logger: - Reworked general timing calculations, timestamps, sync to full second - Fixed local time in absolute timestamps (option -a) - Supress logfile writing when output goes to stdout (option -R) useful if output is piped to external evaluation tool/filter - Added option -m: Timestamp format milliseconds - Added option -h: supress printing header information in logfiles - Added option -b: set logging baudrate for communication, override baudrate from ecu file - connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This only allows to connect while engine not yet started. Changes in ME7Info: - Reverted back to zwbasar_0 .. zwbasar_3 (Array size NOT dependent on number of cylinders) - Some variables added: + zwoutar_0 .. zwoutar_3 + zwsol + redist / evz_austot + lamfaws_w / lamfawkr_w / lamfaw_w / lamfwl_w / lamrlmn_w + perffilt_w / perfmax_w => This is CPU-Load It helps in finding out the max. logging capabilities of your ECU. Around 90% CPU-Load might be a limit for the ECU. Update 10.07.2013 to version 1.20: Changes in ME7Logger v1.20: - Read additional ecu characteristics file "my_<ecufile>" if it exists in same directory as <ecufile>. -> my_<ecufile> should be used to keep manually added definitions. - Read additional log config file my_<ecu>_template.cfg from same directory as log config file. - my_<ecu>_template.cfg can be used to keep log entries for manually added definitions - Optimization of logged data, e.g.: - logging multiple bitvariables which use the same byte will read only one byte from ecu. - logging two byte variables from neighbouring memory addresses will read only one merged word location from ecu. The limits are now: - up to 254 bytes, - up to 127 different memory locations (1 or 2 bytes), - up to 254 variables. - Linux port added -> see "ME7Logger_Linux_DIST_10072013.tgz" Serial interfaces work using device /dev/ttyS*, as well as FTDI cables in serial mode using the kernel module ftdi_sio and device /dev/ttyUSB0. FTDI native mode is supported using libftdi1 and libusb1, both are already included in many Linux distributions. libftdi1: http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi libusb1: http://www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-1.0 - Shared library (DLL) added (.so/.dll) for those who want to implement own logging solutions -> see directory "lib" in the ME7L .zip/.tgz files for description and example program. An example driver for WinLog (http://www.devtechnics.com/winlog.htm) using the ME7L shared library is available as well in ME7L_Winlog_driver.zip. Just copy ME7L_winlog.dll and libME7Logger.dll into the Winlog directory to make use of it. Changes in ME7Info v1.20: - Linux port added - Internal cleanup work https://s4wiki.com/wiki/Tuning#Logging_utilities See http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=4830.0title= for a GUI front end Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: carlossus on July 29, 2011, 05:32:34 AM You are a legend for sharing this.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: lulu2003 on July 29, 2011, 05:59:49 AM thanks a lot.
will try soon and looking forward to the the first GUI ;) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: NOTORIOUS VR on July 29, 2011, 06:24:56 AM This is pretty epic! Thanks for sharing!
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: phila_dot on July 29, 2011, 07:24:52 AM Awesome tool setzi, thank you.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Matt Danger on July 29, 2011, 07:30:58 AM Thanks for this, can't wait to try it out.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: s5fourdoor on July 29, 2011, 10:48:47 AM dude. this is epic. 100% complete and utterly epic. now all we have to do is get a common list of what should be logged under most conditions!
just a quick suggestion / thought. is there anyway you can add an option to do "synched timing". this means if i enable / config the logger to use "synched timing", it will start the log exactly on the computer's clock second: aka 11:05:10.0000 AM like that? this would greatly assist users to fuse multiple logging sources... just a thought! Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 29, 2011, 10:51:55 AM Hell ya. screw GUIs.
Thank you so much setzi! Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 29, 2011, 10:52:43 AM BTW i will be updating ECUxPlot to be able to read log files from this tool.

Excellent Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: s4rmm on July 30, 2011, 10:46:45 AM Anybody got it working with Ross-Tech USB cable?
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: phila_dot on July 30, 2011, 11:05:19 AM Anybody got it working with Ross-Tech USB cable? If your cable works with NefMoto or ECUx, it should work no problem. You may have to set it to dumb mode. My blue KKL cable works perfectly. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Complacentsee on July 31, 2011, 01:23:44 PM I know many people are used to seeing the logs displayed in Mark P format.
Here is my Mark P style logger configuration and excel sheet. You will have to edit the config to reference your ecu config file "mybin.ecu". You may want to adjust the sample rate as I have selected 25. Once you have logged you can simply copy the data you want, with the headers and it should auto populate the graphs. I made Mark P's template look for ME7Logger headers. Then I added in the unit conversions to make the graphs work correctly. If I recall these were the only data changes: Convert time from seconds to milliseconds. Convert Speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour. Convert Temperature from Celsius to F. Convert Timing retard from negative to positive. If someone is familiar with the how this worked with ecux you may want to verify the data I pulled matches the variable that ecux is logging. I think I matched them correctly, but I have never tuned, and never used ecux so I'm not sure. If you find any errors, let me know and I'll update this post. (I'm having trouble getting the files to upload at the moment) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 31, 2011, 02:15:06 PM BTW i will be updating ECUxPlot to be able to read log files from this tool. http://nyet.org/cars/ECUxPlot/ Please test it out, and send bug reports ;) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on July 31, 2011, 03:19:31 PM Complacentsee, line 40 needs a ; instead of a , (fr_w)
edit: Also line 53 Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Complacentsee on July 31, 2011, 03:27:49 PM Thanks. I added those last minute and forgot to change it. The corrected file should be up now.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on July 31, 2011, 04:02:32 PM Is there any interest in an app that reads the stdout and combines it with values sampled from an innnovate LC-1?
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 31, 2011, 04:15:19 PM btw ECUxPlot will overlay zeitronix data on top of an existing log...
I could add innovate support, but I dont have log data to test with. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on July 31, 2011, 04:18:37 PM Are you just aligning the logs by looking at the narrowband values or does Zeitronix log RPM? My issue is that I don't want to buy more innovate stuff just to log the wideband against RPM.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: phila_dot on July 31, 2011, 04:31:24 PM Zeitronix ZT-2 logs wideband and RPM.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on July 31, 2011, 05:01:27 PM That is the problem with the innovate stuff... no RPM unless you add another box.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: s5fourdoor on July 31, 2011, 09:28:52 PM I'd definitely want to see LC-1 support! Thats a really good package...
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 31, 2011, 09:39:00 PM Ugh. not if there is no RPM support. forget it. Too hard to sync with other logs.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: s4rmm on August 01, 2011, 02:35:44 AM Anybody got it working with Ross-Tech USB cable?

I went with the Innovate stuff but I did get the extra box required to do RPM, I didn't see a huge gain to getting wideband AFR without being able to correlate it to other log measurements. When I get a log with both (missing a cable that didn't get shipped) I'll post it. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 01, 2011, 08:24:40 AM just a quick suggestion / thought. Is the timestamp really used to sync logs from different sources? From what I read here,is there anyway you can add an option to do "synched timing". this means if i enable / config the logger to use "synched timing", it will start the log exactly on the computer's clock second: aka 11:05:10.0000 AM like that? this would greatly assist users to fuse multiple logging sources... just a thought! a synchronization would be made by comparing rpm data. But yes, I could implement something like this. Also an option to get absolute timestamps instead of relative time since start would be possible. Have to make some tests .... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 01, 2011, 08:30:36 AM It works with NefMoto and with VCDS, it is in dumb mode. I created virtual comport (usb to serial), configured as COM2 or COM7, but did not manage to connect. What is the output? Just telling it can't connect or something more? Are you referencing the right ecu characteristics file in your trace config? If a wrong characteristics file is used, the logger could try to connect to a wrong address.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: infinkc on August 01, 2011, 08:57:08 AM That is the problem with the innovate stuff... no RPM unless you add another box. yea i landed up getting the ot2 to log the rpm with the innovate wideband, i figured that was easier than getting their other input box where you have to configure the rpm signal.

Ha - I have to totally honest. I don't know... but it seemed like a decent-enough idea. I suppose RPM would be better, but it might all be relative depending on the frequency of data-update.

What do you think about it? Have you had the chance to use the Wideband AFR matrix that does averaging? I thought that looked really powerful. Also, how are you going to log using this tool while using the OT-2? Just wondering... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on August 01, 2011, 10:55:35 AM For me, I just thought about reading the data as it's being dumped out of the ME7Logger, and appending the wideband data from the Innovate SDK. The max sample rate I could achieve with the MarkP layout was 33hz, so I think the results would be better than the current "educated guess" method of aligning the log based on throttle lift.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: ThomasRS4 on August 06, 2011, 03:14:54 PM Great work, thanks to share this awesome tool...
But I have a connecting problem with my RS4 8D0907551K. My USB-Adapter works with Nefmoto, VAGCom and other diagnostic tools without problems. The original 551K image is stored and the .ecu file is successfull generatet by ME7Info.exe. A config file is also written. Logged data size is 101 bytes.

At the beginning of a connection with VAGCom, you can here a short clicking in the instrumentcluster. When I try to connect with ME7Logger there is no clicking. Can anybody help? Thanks Tom Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on August 09, 2011, 05:51:10 PM I love this tool. Simply amazing. thanks setzi!
one small bug complaint: you MUST use spaces to separate fields, you can't use tabs. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: dirtyr32 on August 09, 2011, 07:46:22 PM First off, thank you for getting this tool out there, it's going to help a lot of people see whats going on under the hood. :)
I have an '08 R32, and while I can log fairly quickly in vcds (getting ~10-12 samples/sec) I'd really like to open up my logging options with this tool. Not that I need to change much right now, but I love the data, and really want to verify some upcoming mods I'd like to do with some good information. Nothing else I've found supports these later ME7.1.1 ECU's, so I was hoping some small tweaks to yours would be all that is needed to work with these later ME7 ecu images properly. Right now it's not detecting any ram locations/variables at all: Code: C:\ME7Logger\bin>ME7Info.exe "..\images\VW Golf MK5 R32 0261201807 022906032KR 1037387913.bin" I've attached a bin from the same ECU. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: matchew on August 10, 2011, 02:54:19 AM MK5 R32 is a completely different structure of code...
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 10, 2011, 04:03:37 AM Yes, this MK5 R32 image looks completely different to older R32 images
(which can be processed by ME7Info). I think this ECU is based on ST10 which is C167 compatible, but the bootrom must be completely different. So, no chance to get the info tool working for this MK5 R32 image :'( and also the logger will not run (hopefully it will detect this is a non-supported ecu). Next update will allow TABs in config files, support sync to full second at logging start, and optional absolute timestamps (for easier synchronization with other logs). I will prepare this within the next days. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 10, 2011, 04:09:39 AM And, I am looking into the connection problems reported by
s4rmm and ThomasRS4. Would be good to find out what is blocking there, but currently I don't have a concrete hint what to change to get it connecting. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: tobz on August 11, 2011, 06:16:42 PM First off, I want to say: thank the fucking lord. VCDS logging is god awful slow and I'm glad someone finally created a program so we don't have to pay for / deal with the bugginess of ECU Explorer. I plan on creating a small .NET app that wraps ME7Info/ME7Logger to make it dead simple to generate your ECU definitions and then run the logger.
Anyways, having some issues... I'm getting "Got error -8" while logging. Lowering the baud rate/sample rate helped a little bit, but it always happens. It'll say it about 8 - 10 times then the logger will exit with code 0x4. Not sure what's going on, but VCDS works no problem and I'm using a blue KKL cable. Any thoughts? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on August 11, 2011, 11:36:12 PM One more minor thing: 2.7t mbox was missing zwbasar_4 and zwbasar_5

Not sure what's going on, but VCDS works no problem and I'm using a blue KKL cable. Any thoughts? This error -8 means that there are no more data coming from the ecu, so the logger gets a timeout. The logger tries 10 times to re-send the current request, but no further response is seen, then it stops. Similar communication problem exists in some cars, could be solved by adding a separate wire from ECU to tester/logger without any other units on the K-line.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 12, 2011, 07:57:41 AM I have added an update to the initial post wich fixes some of the smaller problems/requests.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: tobz on August 12, 2011, 08:08:54 AM Also, just a thought... what's the minimum baud rate to use if I wanted to log around 5 samples/sec for 15 - 25 values? Bumping the rates down seemed to have a positive effect, but I'm just not sure how low I can put them.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on August 12, 2011, 08:09:33 AM Seems like that would not be such a good idea without knowing precisely what would not be talking on the K-line anymore and especially since I want to be able to drive my car to log stuff. :/ The K-line is designed only for diagnosis. Car must be able to run without problems, even if someone pulls the line down to ground or fixes it to +12V permanently (I think this was the case with so called aftermarket radio problem). Anyways, if you connect a tester to the ecu, the protocol allows to starve out any other communication, making it impossible for other units to send anything. If you log 25 samples/second, no one else besides the ECU and the logger can send anything on the K-line ;). Therefore any sensitive communication takes place over CAN. If it is possible for you, you could connect an logic analyzer to the K-line and watch what is happening when the communication failures appear. I would be glad to hear which unit is causing these problems, so we probably can finally find a way to stop this.

Bumping the rates down seemed to have a positive effect, but I'm just not sure how low I can put them. Just try with 10400baud, the logger will reduce the samplerate accordingly if it can't keep up with the requested rate.

Block 032 is LTFT's in VCDS. Do you happen to know what the four variables are in your nomenclature? I believe the partial's might be FRA_W and FRA2_W. Any idea? Also, do you happen to know where STFT's are shown? I think its block 033 / 034?

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: ThomasRS4 on August 18, 2011, 08:45:09 AM And, I am looking into the connection problems reported by s4rmm and ThomasRS4. Would be good to find out what is blocking there, but currently I don't have a concrete hint what to change to get it connecting. Hi Setzi, I am still searching for my connection problems with my RS4 8D0907551K ECU. In my generatet ECU file, the connect parameter is set to "SLOW-0x11" [Communication] Connect = SLOW-0x11 ; Possible values: SLOW-0x11, FAST-0x01 Communicate = HM0 ; Possible values: HM0, HM2-0x01 LogSpeed = 57600 ; Possible values: 10400, 14400, 19200, 38400, 56000, 57600, 125000 [Identification] HWNumber = {0261207001} SWNumber = {1037360387} PartNumber = {8D0907551K} SWVersion = {0001} EngineId = {2.7l V6/5VT} But in the Connect overview of file "example.commdate" in the logs folder, I cant find anything about the value "SLOW-0x11". The optional possible value "FAST-0x01" is missing too. slow (0x01) -> KWP2000 slow (0x31) -> KWP2000 slow (0x33) -> SAE-J1979(KWP2000) fast (HM2-phys(0x10)) -> KWP2000 fast (HM3-func(0x31)) -> KWP2000 KWP2000 communication: HM0/none(----) HM2/phys(0x10) HM3/func(0x31) Is this the problem? Can you bring light into dark? Thanks a lot... Tom Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on August 18, 2011, 12:12:57 PM Hi Setzi - I was wondering about some of the variables. Block 032 is LTFT's in VCDS. Do you happen to know what the four variables are in your nomenclature? I believe the partial's might be FRA_W and FRA2_W. Any idea? Also, do you happen to know where STFT's are shown?

If it has bootrom version 05.XX or 06.XX (can be seen with ME7Check),it should be possible. If another bootrom version get's reported, then no chance. Some people reported communication problems with compatible ECUs, so there might be an additional blocking point for certain configurations.

Is this the problem? Can you bring light into dark? example.bin. If you run ME7Info -c <yourbinary> you will see the communication data of your binary. For the K-Box, the used address is the correct one. The connect problem must be something else. Did you try with the experimental FTDI support? This might help if it is a timing issue (if the FTDI support works at all).

In FTDI mode, it will commence logging... and just randomly die. The little period "ticks" will stop ticking and I'll have to Ctrl-C and try again. It's short of random but it almost always dies within 2 - 4 ticks. In normal VCP mode it works fine aside from my "error -8" issues which I'll eventually try to address at some point.

In normal VCP mode it works fine aside from my "error -8" issues which I'll eventually try to address at some point. I found a problem in the code for FTDI cables, this led to a blocked program if the ecu didn't send any more data. I have attached just the updated ME7Logger executable with the fix. Using this fix, the FTDI mode should behave like the VCP mode, so instead of a hanging program you will now see also "error -8" (timeouts) if the ecu stops sending data. The "error -8" (timeouts) are a second problem, which lies outside the logger itself in my opinion. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Tony@NefMoto on October 17, 2011, 12:28:57 PM Are you setting the timeouts for the FTDI device for sending and receiving when you open the device?
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 18, 2011, 07:13:32 PM Just an FYI, I couldn't get a connection at all using ftdi mode, but works great using the default comm mode. Which made me curious, what is the advantage of ftdi vs vcp in this case? Sorrybif it's a dumb question, I'm still new at this.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on October 19, 2011, 05:59:58 AM Are you setting the timeouts for the FTDI device for sending and receiving when you open the device? The problem was I "forgot" that FT_Read is blocking and therefore the FTDI codewould have waited forever if no further data was coming. I set the timeouts before reading now, so the FTDI code works same as the serial port code.

Which made me curious, what is the advantage of ftdi vs vcp in this case? Sorrybif it's a dumb question, I'm still new at this. I am not sure if the FTDI mode has big advantages compared to the VCP mode. I was hoping itwould give an enhancement regarding the reachable communication speed (in terms of delays, not baudrate) over the VCP mode. The FTDI mode makes it easier to locate the cable, you don't have to look up a com port number. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 19, 2011, 05:05:28 PM Just have to say excellent work setzi!

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on October 23, 2011, 08:03:15 PM Wow! I am in awe. And I cannot wait to try it out. Many thanks setzi. Looking at the contents of the .zip file, it looks so unix, I find it surprising that you had not got it working on the linux side first!
Now all we have to do is convince Nye to make an ECUxPlot that works with Gnuplot and we are almost fully organic. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on October 23, 2011, 08:30:15 PM What do you want to do with gnuplot?
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on October 23, 2011, 08:37:21 PM What do you want to do with gnuplot? Make a data extractor and manipulator that will drop graphs immediatelly with gnuplot scripts. Like what happens with excel and the usual logs that we see posted all the time. I use gnuplot all the time and the ability to create plots with a script and drop the files in any format I want (from within the script) is great. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on October 23, 2011, 11:04:22 PM Ah. I can probably do that.
Thing is, it would be easier to just have ECUxPlot automatically drop a series of graphs... also, not a lot of people use gnuplot. But i'll think about the gnuplot idea, its a good one. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on October 24, 2011, 08:27:15 PM Happy to report this things is working extremely well. This is huge for the community. I will do what I can to provide feedback and improvements.
Found a little problem with it. When invoked the first time it logs fine. Keeping the ignition on and trying to start a new logging session does not initialize properly and logging does not start. Although it is not really a problem to turn the engine off and on, which makes it work fine again, I thought setzi would like to know. The errors I encountered were: "Read ECU ID's ....failed" The one-time error of failing to connect with an appropriate timeout may have been unrelated. My setup for this test was: WindowsXP untouched since 2006, Cygwin untouched since 2006, Abox on MY2000 (late model) in which I had flashed the Abox file ending in 345 (from the stock ECU files of Nefmoto). I will try to run it from the linux side with Wine. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on October 25, 2011, 06:14:38 AM I am happy to report that the logger works for me superbly.
Zero issues, no time outs, nada. No issues with multiple reconnects without shutting car off like reported above. It must be A-box software/hardware isssue. I am 02 A6 ECU with M-box S4 file on it, if that helps. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on October 26, 2011, 09:51:33 AM Found a little problem with it.

Although it is not really a problem to turn the engine off and on, which makes it work fine again, I thought setzi would like to know. My setup for this test was: .... Abox on MY2000 (late model) in which I had flashed the Abox file ending in 345 (from the stock ECU files of Nefmoto). I can confirm that this is a software problem with the Abox image (both 0002 and 0003 are affected). These ecu images don't re-initialize some variables when a new K-Line connection is set up. I think about how to implement a workaround. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on October 26, 2011, 09:52:45 AM Just looked at my first logging data that I acquired a day ago with the ME7Logger. One word: fantastic.
Here is a request. Can we attach a thread to this that spits out data on a UDP socket? Or just have the main thread that does the recording drop the data to a UDP socket. I think we can make a graphical real-time plotting program that can work alongside the logger. By throwing data at a UDP socket, setzi does not have to release code and make this monolithic. I can probably code that part on the linux side, which means it can probably be ported to Cygwin pretty easily. I do not think I can get away from X11 for the windowing aspect. someone with a strong Windows background may want to do this. Something to think about. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on October 26, 2011, 10:04:38 AM I agree. it would be fantastic.
Of course, if he released code, anybody could actually add this functionality as well. Or at least if he released libraries and an api... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on October 28, 2011, 06:27:19 AM UDP spit out would be great unless current "real time" output already writes to a file in real time and it could be read off immediately by graphing utility. Knowing windows though it is not guaranteed though.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 28, 2011, 09:40:29 AM Right now i'm working on a simple bar gauge style display that will read the real time output of the log file...it will be slightly delayed and I'm still not sure how quickly I can read the log(so you may only get 2-5 updates per second), but better than nothing.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 28, 2011, 03:46:26 PM Here is what my gauge app looks like right now(see attached), it takes all the variables you are logging and asks you to set the minimums and maximums of each gauge. I can't tell how fast it is updating right now, but it is looking like at least 20 times per second...but as the log file gets bigger it will slow down since it has to reopen the file everytime it updates. Currently using 24% cpu and right around 1MB of memory.
I have a few more things to do along with some testing, then I would like to integrate this into the GUI I created...Might have it done this weekend but most likely it will be available Monday. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on October 28, 2011, 04:09:19 PM Good work.
You certainly do not want to re-read the whole file all the time. Two ways of approaching it: 1) knowing the amount of data the files gets when it is written (each time) and assuming that it is always the same, you 'seek()" into the file and do your reads only of new data. This is _much_ faster than having to re-read it. You monitor the file for an updated state and you do the reading when it happens. 2. keep the file open and continue to read from where you left off. Again, you need monitoring of the file. I wish I could tell you how to do this in Windows. If this were under Cygwin, I'd have a better chance. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on October 28, 2011, 04:36:45 PM I wish I could tell you how to do this in Windows. If this were under Cygwin, I'd have a better chance. is there an option to run the logger output to stdout? i'm pretty sure windows can do the equivalent of popen() let me guess, you can't make a named pipe in win7? again, I'm a unix guy, so ... who knows. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 28, 2011, 08:56:48 PM Unfortunately I'm taking the cheap way out using autohotkey to do this, while it allows me to do this quick and easy(right now it's only about 20-30 lines total) i'm pretty limited on what I can do. I'll do some longer tests this weekend and see how it runs, so far it doesn't look like it's going to be a problem(except maybe on old machines).
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on October 30, 2011, 08:00:56 AM I just read from the stdout. Use the -R switch to invoke writing to stdout (it will still write the log file).
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: j2mc on October 30, 2011, 10:30:45 AM Just wanted to be more specific for you:
1) I actually don't re-read the entire file each time, I open it, find the last line and read that, as the file gets bigger it might take slightly longer to find the last line(but from my tests we're talking microseconds). 2)I thought about that, but thought there is a possibility that my reads could be slower than the logger's writes..the reads could end up a few lines behind and get worse as time goes on. If I just read the last line like i'm doing now I don't care if I missed a row of data here and there as long as what's displayed is current. Good work. You certainly do not want to re-read the whole file all the time. Two ways of approaching it: 1) knowing the amount of data the files gets when it is written (each time) and assuming that it is always the same, you 'seek()" into the file and do your reads only of new data.

ME7Info -g ../bins/mbox.bin | grep 112 measgroup 112: 0098(tats_w ), 00C4(dlamatr_w ), 0099(tats2_w ), 00C5(dlamatr2_w ) -> Should be dlamatr_w and dlamatr2_w which you are searching for. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on November 03, 2011, 10:38:33 AM Just a quick note to all the guys working on adding a GUI to this program. I'm hopefully going to release the NefMoto data logger with a full graphical UI in the next week... Awesome. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: okkim on November 06, 2011, 08:44:34 AM I'm having a trouble to import the data to the MS Excel or Open office. There are space before the values, or many after it after the import. Also some columns have "' ' " marks berfore the value.
The charts are not shown because of those spaces or marks. It is very difficult to clean those manually. Am I doing something wrong, or could I open the data differently? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on November 06, 2011, 09:50:20 AM What version of excel?
rename the log to log.csv, and then open the csv file - excel should strip the whitespace. Worst case, you could always import the data into a worksheet using the text to columns feature, and then change the cell data type. I haven't had that problem when opening the log as a .csv before though. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: okkim on November 06, 2011, 11:39:27 AM Excel is 2010, Open office calc is 3.3.0. Excel opens the csv-files ok, but didn't remove the whitespaces. It seemed that the values were text, not numbers.
I changed the system settings so that the decimal value is ".", and not "," as it was. Now the excel works right, and removes the whitespaces and understands the numbers. But still the Open office doesn't work. I would like to use Open office, but now I cant. I'm not sure that if this problem is also with ECUxPLOT, because it doesn't show any graphs. It can open the cvs, and can select the variables, but is doesn't plot any lines. Ok, I found the "fault" with ECUxPLOT. I had the "filter data" option on, and with it most of the logs didn't show nothing. So now I have only the Open office problem :) Title: Question on FRAO, FRAU, FRA o2 corrections ME7 Logger vs RossTech VCDS values Post by: julex on December 09, 2011, 07:22:26 AM So I compared what VCDS and Me7 loggers show for idle, low and high range o2 LTFT adaptation values and it seems like they differ quite a lot.
For example: Idle: VCDS shows -2.8% (0.972 multiplier?) for bank1 on idle, ME7 logger shows 0.987824 or -1.4% Part Throttle: VCDS shows -1.6% (0.984 multiplier?) for bank1 on low range, ME7 logger shows 0.988282 or -1.2% Full Throttle: VCDS shows -0.8% (0.992 multiplier?) for bank1 on low range, ME7 logger shows 0.999696 Keep in mind VCDS pulls data from Channel 032 while ME7 gets it from ECU memory. In addition it would appear that VCDS is stepping the corrections in 0.4% increments and is rounding numbers. Since it is stepping in 0.4% increments, I am gonna assume that this is somehow tied into a multiplier VCDS is using... I don't know what to make out of it.... who should I trust more? Let's hope somebody could shed some light on this, especially if you know what multiplier is VCDS using (ME7 logger is using 3.05176e-005) as it would explain why the data is off if they are using wrong values :) Title: Re: Question on FRAO, FRAU, FRA o2 corrections ME7 Logger vs RossTech VCDS values Post by: setzi62 on December 10, 2011, 04:08:04 AM Let's hope somebody could shed some light on this, especially if you know what multiplier is VCDS using (ME7 logger is using 3.05176e-005) as it would explain why the data is off if they are using wrong values :) The data you see from ME7Logger are the most accurate values you will get in this case :). Variables fra_w, frao_w, frau_w are stored as unsigned word (16bit) in the ecu. Damos specifies the conversion from internal to physical value for these: PHYS = INT / 32768, this returns values in range 0.0 to 1.99997 (a factor without unit). The conversion factor which ME7L uses is therefore 1/32768, which is just 3.05176e-005. Now, when you log with VCDS, the ECU processes each variable and performs an internal conversion, then delivers for each variable three bytes (a, b, c) to VCDS. Byte c is a conversion formula number (see here: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php/topic,22.msg22.html#msg22), bytes a and b are data values used in the conversion formula. VCDS takes a and b, then converts again using the formula and presents you the result. In case of fra_w, frao_w, frau_w, the ecu always sets c = 20, so the formula for VCDS is: a*(b-128)/128 [in %]. The ecu sets a=50 and b to result from a conversion of the original 16bit value. You can see, that VCDS can compute the final percentage result with a resolution of 50/128 = 0.390625% in a range of -50% .. +50% (b can be 0 ..255). Be aware, when you log via KWP1285 (as VCDS does), the ecu alway processes variables internally before delivering data and you probably loose accuracy.

TTQS Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: iznogoud on December 27, 2011, 12:17:19 PM I'd be interested to know if you can successfully read out the flash from the Revo flashed ECU. This becasue Revo and APR sued to be the same company before the fallout (Euro and US) and I know for a fact that I could not pull out the APR trial file when I tried with the Nefmoto ME flasher tool.
Addresses for log variables are usually not changed -- I do not see why. So whether you can pull out the flash or not should not affect the ability to log in this case. Somebody with more intimate knowledge of the internals of the flash may be able to explain in detail if needed. And.... ME7Logger rawks.

I take it you read my Leon thread http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=1021.msg10463#msg10463 here? For me it's fine if I keep the "Log packet size: 36 bytes" or less which gives me 24 variables to log which is enough for me for most of my tinkering. I regularly log my 25minute journey to work without a timeout. You can maximise the number of vars by choosing the single byte versions where you have a choice. Out of interest, what's your ECU version? It might be better to post in the thread above to keep these issues together.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Tony@NefMoto on January 10, 2012, 12:57:59 PM The one possibility I could think of, is that the ECU clears that variable each cycle, and then sets it to a new value. It is possible the ME7Logger is ready the value after it has been cleared, but before it is set. This is just a guess though.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Lobuziak on January 15, 2012, 02:33:03 PM Hello.
I'm new to that great knowledgeable forum but have a request/question. What would be needed to add different Motronic ECU support for ME7logger? How can I get RAM variables addresses? My cars ECU is Me1.5.5 it has 512KB data file. The car is Opel Astra Coupe 2.0T. I have a damos for it and it looks similar to ME7.1 Tried use the tool and make some logs - "written 13 definitions" - but didn't want to make logs because of the unknown bootrom. edit: if that helps WinOLS Demo shows processor: Siemens C167CR Regards Lobuziak Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on January 20, 2012, 08:45:02 AM The ME1.5.5 might be same CPU and contain same maps as the ME7, but the basic software
is completely different. Since the ME7Logger depends definitely on the bootrom of the ME7, it is not possible to port it easily to another ECU type. Same is true for the ME7Info tool. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Lobuziak on January 20, 2012, 11:34:20 AM The ME1.5.5 might be same CPU and contain same maps as the ME7, but the basic software is completely different. Since the ME7Logger depends definitely on the bootrom of the ME7, it is not possible to port it easily to another ECU type. Same is true for the ME7Info tool. So to get it working someone should get the bootrom with minimon, disassemble it, disassemble flash rom correlate it with damos and make some more testing... If there was a good working logger that would help with tuning of the car. There is some how working op-com but I don't get any knock control action, air mass and load is wrongly calculated... Anyway thanks. Regards Lobuziak Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on January 22, 2012, 03:53:14 PM Has anyone with an Euro 2.7 gotten this to work?
I get this: Code: Logged data size is 72 bytes. I have immo on the car, and what I notice is, a relay in the cluster makes a "click" when VCDS Lite connects, but not when ME7Logger connects. On older motronics to use fast diag, the immo had to be bypassed. Am I right in thinking, that I need to run a direct K-Line from the ECU into the diagnostic port for this to work? Otherwise the immo is blocking all communication? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on January 23, 2012, 02:24:54 AM I think you are in the same boat as user s4rmm. He also can't connect to 0x11 while instruments cluster
turned on. If I ever find the time, I will add a new connection method " double slowinit to 0x01" to the ME7L. This is a connection method that should always work. The drawback of this is, it is only possible while the engine is not running on most ecus. But I think it is possible to patch the image so this check is no longer present and then it should be possible to connect using "double slowinit" even while the engine is running. If you have access to the cables and dont fear the work, direkt K-line should also be a solution. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on January 23, 2012, 05:17:00 AM s4rmm actually lives in my little town :D
He has a K04 S4, I have RS4. In older cars, when I wrote fast logging for the ECU (custom protocol), the immo shorted K-Line to ground. Basically I sent it 5 baud init, then it let through a little bit of data and shut it down again. I think it's actively monitoring communications and if it sees something it does not like, it shuts down the line in older ECU's. Do you think the cluster is also shorting K-line to ground? Because if it is, then I will not only need to add a direct K-Line, I will also need to add a switch, which will switch between the normal K-Line and direct K-Line, if I want to log anything else. Or do you think just bridging the lines will be enough? (that didn't work on older cars for me with Immo 1). Also, you are saying that engine has to be off - if it is off, and you connect, will it stay connected after you start the engine? If yes, then it's not a problem... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on January 23, 2012, 05:27:33 AM Oh yes, sorry, forgot that you will need a switch to separate ecu from regular K-line.
I did it using a relais which disconnects the bus from ecu when activated. When I plug in my diag cable to the new direct-ecu-connector, a bridge between two otherwise unused pins in the plug activates this relais and I just communicate with the ecu. If the bridge is not set in the plug, the relais stays released and I can e.g. monitor the traffic on the K-line at ecu side. I have made some logic analyzer traces of the diag connector and same time of the ecu while instrument cluster is on. You can nicely see how the instrument cluster "disturbs" the line!! I'll prepare them and post in the communication protocols section soon. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on January 23, 2012, 07:45:06 AM Okay, so...
I cut the K-line coming from ECU. Then I put a relay on there (or a three pole), I then connect the ECU to one pole, then to one switched pole I connect the K-line wire that I cut, and to the other switched pole I connect a new K-Line wire. I then run the new K-Line to the OBD II connector. Will it work then? Or do I also need to disconnect the cluster from the OBD II connector? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on January 23, 2012, 10:16:27 AM I just did the following: ( whatever ) Switch +-----+ OBD-Connector O--------( is in )---o____O---+---| ECU | ( the line ) | +-----+ | NEW-Connector O--------------------------------' Switch open -> NEW connector can be used to communicate with ECU. ORIG connector can be used to communicate with all other devices. Switch closed -> ORIG connector can be used as previously. NEW connector can be used for MONITORING the bus at ecu side. If you want to use just the original ODB-Connector, you should disconnect also the original K-line at the connector side. You need a BYPASS of whatever is in the line between OBD-connector and ECU: Switch ( whatever ) Switch o----( is in )----o +-----+ OBD-Connector O-----O--__ ( the line ) __--O-------| ECU | o-. .-o +-----+ | | '----------------' Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on January 23, 2012, 04:59:26 PM Ok, I understand, you added a whole separate connector.
Pretty good idea with the relay also, I like that. I think I will take a 2x2 adapter cable I have, gut it and run the K-Line and power to it, as well as the relay positive voltage or ground. That should work just fine. I guess I need to start the car first (so immo can talk to ECU), then plug in the connector, and I can log. Thank you... Now if you only could add some sort of instant output mode to the logger, so I wouldn't have to hook it to get the data in real time ... but I guess not all wishes can be fulfilled. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Jason on January 24, 2012, 04:54:40 PM Slightly off-topic but my ECU rebooted while logging tonight exactly when "The Application Experience service entered the stopped state." showed up in the event log.
I'm guessing the ECU was waiting for a message or got an incomplete transmission and decided to reboot?

Thanks in advance TTQS Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on February 15, 2012, 11:39:07 AM I believe that all that needs to be done to successfully use MarkP templates (and others) are some changes to ME7 .ECU/.CFG files and any ECUX template should work without any changes to template itself (which is preferable):
1) Activate [Alias] columns for the .CFG file by removing ";" sign in front of them. This will force logger to use column names from CFG files not .ECU file. Useful for people who want to use one .ECU with multiple .CFG files and not necessarily having mtaching column names, like me... 2) If you want to preserve original vfil_w in km/s: Make a copy of vfil_w file in .ECU file, call it vfil_w_miles, and modify "A" column to "0.0048555" (which is a product of original 0.0078125 divided by 1.609 - how many kms in a mile) Modify vfil_w line in .CFG file to say vfil_w_miles. You will now log speed in miles If you don't want to preserve original value, just modify the A column for vfil_w and you're done. 3) IATs. Do the same as in #2 if you want to preserve original variable in Cs. Regardless, the formula changes to A= 1.35, B = - 54.4 and you now log in F. Don't ask me in detail how I arrived at that. It takes just a little bit of arithmetic, use two formulas for C to F and the one used in logger and a bit of shuffling stuff around and here it is. 4) Timing retard: Modify dwkrz_0 - dwkrz_5's column A to "-0.75". Retard will now be positive in the logs as originally it is a signed value and is negative. This leaves one outstanding thing which is timestamps. I will ask Setzi for an option to output EcuX style time stamps in a format "mmm" instead of current "s:mmm". Regardless, a simple replace of "." with "" in excel takes care of this. Enjoy. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on February 15, 2012, 11:51:23 AM btw ECUxPlot can take care of whatever translations you need (including unit conversions), just email me and i'll try to add them.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on February 16, 2012, 09:08:01 AM Ok, I have a .CFG/.ECU combo file that works with any EcuX tool sans the timestamps which would have to be modified by hand. If anybody is interested, give me a word and I will share.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: julex on February 16, 2012, 09:33:13 AM One correction though, tans (IAT) calculation requires: A = 1.35 and B = 54.4 NOT B = -54.4 as I originally posted.

You are using the example.ecu file, which matches the 4B0906018DA, 0006 image. This image allows connection to KWP2000 with slowinit to 0x01, but on your car/ecu you get a KWP1285 connection on the address 0x01. I don't think your ecu has the image file 018DA inside! You need to follow the instructions in the README and generate your own .ecu file that matches your image. To do this, you will need to read out the image of your ecu first or you can try find an original file with matching ecu ID's somewhere on the forum. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: speed51133 on March 29, 2012, 11:27:53 AM I did not even know there was a README. I found it buried in the DOC folder.

with all the small changes that have piled up over the time. Find an updated version 1.17 of ME7Logger and ME7Info in the first post. Roughly the changes in ME7Logger: - Reworked general timing calculations, timestamps, sync to full second - Fixed local time in absolute timestamps (option -a) - Supress logfile writing when output goes to stdout (option -R) useful if output is piped to external evaluation tool/filter - Added option -m: Timestamp format milliseconds - Added option -h: supress printing header information in logfiles - Added option -b: set logging baudrate for communication, overrides baudrate from ecu file - connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This allows to connect only while engine not yet started. And the changes in ME7Info: - Reverted back to zwbasar_0 .. zwbasar_3 (Array size NOT dependent on number of cylinders) - Some variables added: + zwoutar_0 .. zwoutar_3 + zwsol + redist / evz_austot + lamfaws_w / lamfawkr_w / lamfaw_w / lamfwl_w / lamrlmn_w + perffilt_w / perfmax_w => This is CPU-Load It helps in finding out the max. logging capabilities of your ECU. Around 90% CPU-Load might be a limit for the ECU. I think it would be useful if you put perffilt_w (CPU load) into your logging profiles and make some tests to see how you ECU performs underr different logging conditions (sample rate/#variables). My ECU is 32MHz, so I have plenty of headroom for wildest logging. But most ECUs run at 24MHz and some even have only 20MHz, so these could probably suffer from excessive logging.

If you don't get an echo while connected and ignition on, one possibility is that the wrong serial port is selected (default is COM2), use option -p <COMPORT> for the correct com port. Or you need to specify option -f (to use an FTDI based cable).

It consists of two tools: one to generate ecu characteristics files (similar to properties) out of ecu images, second to log data. No GUI for klicky guys, no graphics, just console programs. /sales_mode=on ;) Will outperform commercially available tools on speed & flexibility: - Up to 50 samples per second possible. - Up to 127 independent variables can be logged at same time. - Open for expansions: whatever you want to log, you can define it. - No fiddling with licenses/hacked programs needed. /sales_mode=off - It's free for hobby use, - It's NOT for noobs. Not a connect-and-log tool, before logging you should have your ecu image available. Last but not least: buy a commercial program if you want to make someone liable for damages/not working logging tools :) Update 12.08.2011, some fixes/changes done: - Experimental FTDI native driver support added, option -f - Logger start time synchronization added, option -t - Logger absolute timestamp added, option -a - Allow TAB's also in trace config files - Variables zwbasar_<xx> for all available cylinders - Variables wkraa_<xx> limited to available cylinders - Minor changes, some variables added Update 09.09.2011, some of the requested changes/fixes done: - Single sample option added (result is output just to the window) - More variables determined for images with code variant (missing tans(IAT) for one image) - zwbasar_<xx> now really available for all available cylinders - Some more variables added - Some alias names added, some changed Update 02.04.2012 to version 1.17: (Updated 04.04.2012 the ME7Info in the .zip, fixed path error) Changes in ME7Logger: - Reworked general timing calculations, timestamps, sync to full second - Fixed local time in absolute timestamps (option -a) - Supress logfile writing when output goes to stdout (option -R) useful if output is piped to external evaluation tool/filter - Added option -m: Timestamp format milliseconds - Added option -h: supress printing header information in logfiles - Added option -b: set logging baudrate for communication, override baudrate from ecu file - connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This only allows to connect while engine not yet started.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on September 01, 2012, 02:33:56 AM And K-box flash with F file works ?

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Il Signor Zetec on September 16, 2012, 01:56:27 PM - connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This allows to connect only while engine not yet started. hello Setzi, thank you for your useful tool. I had the same problem described here: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=837.msg16551#msg16551 I used a particular charateristics file for my ecu (8N0906018J) with slow init. During the mods on the .ecu file I didn't find a row to mod the double delay time. Also changing the whole rows in [connection] with your Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) I can't connect to the ecu (error = cause<0x04> ) Then the solution is to put a dedicated K line from ecu? Can I do any other test? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Il Signor Zetec on September 23, 2012, 03:09:31 AM I used a directly connect K line cable. Now all work good
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Milka on September 27, 2012, 04:58:21 AM Really great tool, worked first time I tried it on an RS6.
I do have a request is it possible to get modified Defs so that ME7Info can map dual MAFs? Currently I have the following: msdk_w mshfm_w uhfm_w From what I can tell the first 2 are combined values but the last one is voltage and I think is for an individual sensor? I would love to have voltage and g/s for each MAF. Thanks Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on September 27, 2012, 05:56:34 AM You can get them by disassembly ;)
Does VAG-COM support showing the mass flow over each MAF? If yes, try printing the measuring block info with me7logger and seeing what it reports. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: phila_dot on September 27, 2012, 06:02:23 AM It will almost definitely be located directly before or after in RAM.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Milka on September 27, 2012, 07:01:49 AM Thanks guys. Yep, through VCDS I have a combined g/s which maxes out at 364 while the individual MAF values continue to rise. I will try to get the info and post it tomorrow (Aus time).
prj, I'm still working on clutch switch wiring, will be in contact very soon Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on September 27, 2012, 07:25:58 AM My question was not because you should log with VCDS.
My question was because if you can see this with VCDS, then use ME7Info-s functionality to print information about measuring blocks. This will yield the addresses most likely, IF it is possible to log them with VCDS. Now you see where I was going with this :) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Milka on September 27, 2012, 07:57:35 AM Yep I realised that, was just stating what VCDS has. I did not know that ME7Info had that option (probably should check the options)
Just ran it with -g option, then looked up measuring block 2 measgroup 002: 0001(nmot ) 0002(rl ) 0394( ) 0395( ) Not sure how I log these in ME7Logger yet, will try and figure it out. Last 2 are the individual MAF readings g/s, there is no MAF voltage in the measuring blocks but I think I have one of those mapped already in the full .ecu file (just to see when I get close to maxing out the MAFs) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on September 27, 2012, 08:42:16 AM Ha, it seems empty in ME7Logger. Maybe something for setzi to work on.
But it's pretty easy to find in ASM if it's in the measuring blocks. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Milka on September 27, 2012, 03:25:55 PM Ok how would I find it in ASM? it's the last 2 measuring blocks in measuring group 2 I need

0x00F94E and 0x00F950 were correct One of the MAF voltages 0x380ABA was correct but the other one was something else. The second one was 0x380ABC.

Don't want to kill friends ecu who has an unknown tune.
But I suspect it is an APR or Revo tune. Does it use the same ME7.x functions/commands as when flashing and therefore could be blocked by tuner or does ME7logger always work if you have a correct .ecu file? I'm asking since I recall reading about problems after using nefmoto software even though they have only tried reading their box.

Windows *should* pick up a library dll in the same directory as the executable first, before attempting to locate it in system32 etc etc, but i dont trust it too much to behave like it's supposed to either.... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on January 27, 2013, 12:38:07 PM Its worse than that. Once that DLL is loaded in memory it *STAYS THERE * until the system is rebooted - and every app is forced to use it unless it deliberately tries to load a different dll. Absolutely retarded behavior, but thats windows for you.

Everything works fine. so once again thanx for very useful tool!!! now is time to analyze logs ;-) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: temanuele on March 05, 2013, 08:52:58 PM Been having some issues connecting lately, so I'm wondering if I am doing something obviously wrong. I have used this same computer, cable and car for all my previous logging, so I'm not sure what happened. I have also tried both M-box 001 and 001 bin files. I have also tried different computers, cables and cars and get the same error so I'm guessing it is user error. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I keep getting this error message:

And aren't you part of that anti-Nefmoto tribe? All that aside, there is nothing obvious there. Does VCDS and/or ECUx function as expected? The only time that I've seen that is when the file on the ECU is bad and connection isn't possible. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on March 05, 2013, 10:33:43 PM i've seen that on occasion.
rebooting the ECU seems to help sometimes, or unplugging the usb port on my cable and plugging it back in Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: temanuele on March 06, 2013, 12:20:35 AM If you are who I think you are, shouldn't you have access to some proprietary logging software?

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: CoupedUp on March 13, 2013, 12:46:24 PM No, there exists currently no linux variant of the logger. A port is on the todo list, but this will not be done in short time, sorry. Any word on this? Would be sweet to get a raspberry pi in a car to start logging based off of a switch and not need a computer in the car. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: AudiSportB5S4 on March 16, 2013, 12:29:33 PM I've spent the past couple days reading this and first off... Thanks to all the people who put so much work into this. I actually love how raw it is in comparison to ECUx. The GUI is also great..
My questions.. I did read this thread too, so if someone wouldn't mind helping I'd appreciate it. They're basic. I'm deleting only the semicolon in front of each variable, correct? I think I did that part right... I have the variables I want to look at. Now when I go to use my VCDS hex/can cable, it's runs through the command prompt and then says COM error 2, or something right along those lines. Has it been figured out what settings you want to shoot for with the VCDS cable, or should I get the other cable from ebay? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on March 16, 2013, 12:45:06 PM ME7L can use the FDTI USB method or the COM port method.
If you don't install the RossTech VCP driver, the ross tech cable will not get a COM port allocated to it, and you have to tell ME7L to use the USB method. Which method is better depends on your laptop/OS/cable.. I generally use USB when possible.

The driver is installed for the cable for VCDS use and it connects to ECUx fine, but I have this netbook now and I want it to be my logging machine... ECUx seems too outdated now, so I'm determined to get this to work! Also side question since everyone on this site is near genius... The netbook I'm running this on is an Acer Aspire one with an Intel Atom dual core 1.6 processor. It has 1gig of RAM which I've already bought the 2gig stick for, since Win7 starter takes a bunch of the physical memory just to run. I have stripped the netbook of anything but Firefox, and the logging tools and VCDS. This should be sufficient for logging with Me7, yes? Thanks again Nye!

I didn't even bother to upgrade the memory. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on March 16, 2013, 01:47:42 PM "VCP" stands for "virtual com port", which you should only need for software that expects to see the KKL interface on a com port, rather that directly on a USB port.
ME7L, galletto, and VCDS do not need the VCP driver.. so unless you are having lots of problems talking directly to USB, you shouldn't need it.

So in the GUI (I read you're not a fan lol) am I changing that "Specify Com Port" to read "USB" or just selecting use FTDI? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Timtheguru on March 19, 2013, 02:46:29 PM Is ME7Logger written in C? I'd love to get this ported over to Android and use BT or the Beta FTDI Android driver. Would be sweet to attach my cell phone or tablet to gather logs.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: Timtheguru on March 19, 2013, 02:55:19 PM Darn! Heh, I've been playing around with emulators on my rooted Kindle Fire HD to get Win95/98/XP etc and run ME7Logger in there, so far all of the emulators suck, or maybe it's just the Kindle not allowing me to host the USB device (so I'll be getting a different Tablet soon) and try this out some more. If I knew how to write a program that did what all of this does I would make a native one for Android... maybe one day. Although, Java would be cool, and could be across all platforms.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: AudiSportB5S4 on March 23, 2013, 06:56:47 AM My buddy who is on here also came over last night and got it working! He had to download the VCP for the cable I have (Rosstech Hex/Can). Then he was still hitting a speed bump, which was that my file name was edited from the stock 2.7 blah blah thing you read in the engine channel in VCDS. Once he changed it to to what mine reads, it worked!!!
Tested it out and it's great. Big thanks! Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: aysix on April 13, 2013, 09:37:03 PM I've found some problems with some ME7.5 ECUs 2004...2005MY For example ECU Numbers: 8E0909518BC 0010 0020 0040 4B0906018DQ 0040 0060 ME7Info.exe can't recognize most of definitions.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: udcc11 on April 24, 2013, 11:14:31 AM I'm stumped with the same problem I had a year ago when my water pump went out. I am having an Echo test failed, check cable is connected and ignition is on message on com3. Any other com I get can't open serial port com1,2,4 etc.
I'm using a newer vag com cable with it in dumb mode on a Windows 7 64 bit. Car is a 2000 S4 six-speed. Ignition is on and the light on the cable is on. In Windows the Ross-Tech cable is labeled at this: Location 0 (Port_#0004.Hub_#0001) (I don't know if this helps I'm just supplying the information. What is going on with this that I can't figure out? Thanks for any help. I need this tune revisioned ASAP.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on April 25, 2013, 04:03:30 PM If you didn't have the vcp installed AND enabled, it is unlikely that com3 is correct.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: kaross on July 02, 2013, 01:02:00 PM I got problem with using this logger.
I tryed with old blue kkl cable and used even original ross-tech usb-hex cable but can't get it working. Where could be problem? I am using ME7logger GUI version. Because I don't know how to start logging with this version. I know it will sound stupid but I don't know how to properly run these commands. I have tryed in many ways but mostly I got some errors or nothing is happening. Is there should be any message about for example logging speed (sample rate) when I change it? I am writing C:\ME7\bin>me7logger 20 s right? But main thing right now is how to communicate with car.

You have a very early car, the clusters in those are notorious for preventing and terminating k-line communication.

That explains some things. I wasn't able to flash it also.
And how about this command line. After starting GUI version + first communication command line is back to C:\ME7\bin. How to start communication again? or how to change for example baud rate?

after a long period I found now a little spare time to contribute something here. Had planned for an update of ME7L to be ready in march, but this didn't get finalized due to "little" problems here and there as well as massive lack of time. Now four additional months have passed by, but finally I could finish what I had in mind so far. So, the first post of this thread is refreshed with the most recent update of ME7Logger V1.20. The logging functionality itself has only small changes, there are some fixes/enhancements. The two major changes to be mentioned are: 1. the Linux port is available now (currently compiled for i386, other systems to follow). 2. a shared library of ME7Logger is available, for those who want to implement their own (non-commercial) logging solutions. I provided a basic driver implementation for WinLog (http://www.devtechnics.com/winlog.htm), it is contained in ME7L_Winlog_driver.zip also in the first post. A short video showing it at work is attached. This is just an example, using the shared library there are many possibilities to integrate ME7L into your applications.

One feature request, while I have your attention.. thing is, i dont know how to explain it.. let alone the best way to implement it. I have a bunch of additional ecu variables I like to log that are not automatically detected and written out... so when i create a template config file from an ecu file, it requires a bit of work (concatenating various things) etc. I have a bunch of scripts that take care of this, including one that uncomments/comments lines from the generated config file. Have you given any thought to making a way to streamline this workflow? my additional variables (mbox) https://raw.github.com/nyetwurk/ME7L/master/ecus/torque.ecu https://raw.github.com/nyetwurk/ME7L/master/ecus/extras.ecu the scripts are here: https://github.com/nyetwurk/ME7L/tree/master/logs https://github.com/nyetwurk/ME7L/tree/master/ecus Also, while I have your attention, if there is any possible way you can guide me into fixing up ME7Sum, i'd appreciate it... i have run into a few things I simply can't figure out. http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=3347.0 http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=3347.msg32324#msg32324 Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: jooo on July 10, 2013, 10:13:56 AM Is there a way to get hex (or even binary) output in the log file?

Setzi, how did you get around 64 variable limit in winlog and the fact that it is not refreshing the variables until you remove and re-add the driver?

Yes. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: hammersword on July 15, 2013, 10:54:16 AM I did it work and I stuck here
http://prntscr.com/1fkukr (http://prntscr.com/1fkukr) The problem is that the readme.txt isn't easy read and I can't understand anything at all! I need a hand on this Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 15, 2013, 11:00:14 AM Thats not stuck. That is telling you what you should type.
And why did you take a screen shot? Why not post the actual output? You can cut and paste text directly from a cmd window. ME7Info v1.17 (c) mki, 11/2010-03/2012 Usage: ME7Info [-c | -g | -t] [-n] [-m <mapfile>] [-a <aliasfile>] [-o <outfile>] <binfile> Options: -c : generate communication parameters overview on stdout -g : generate measgroup variables overview on stdout -t : generate logging config template in logs-directory -n : sort characteristics file numerically (by address), default is to sort by variable name -m <mapfile> : map file to use, default is me7_std.map out of defs-directory -a <aliasfile> : alias file to use, default is me7_alias.map out of defs-directory -o <outfile> : output file to generate, default is to create <binfile>.ecu in ecus-directory or <binfile>.cfg in logs-directory when creating a logging config template (-t) <binfile> : the input file, a ME7 image Finally, did you look at this http://s4wiki.com/wiki/Tuning#Logging_utilities which refers to this http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/479416-****-Complete-Guide-on-How-to-Take-and-Graph-Logs-**** Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on July 15, 2013, 01:18:23 PM I have a bunch of additional ecu variables I like to log that are not automatically detected and written out... so when i create a template config file from an ecu file, it requires a bit of work (concatenating various things) etc. I have a bunch of scripts that take care of this, including one that uncomments/comments lines from the generated config file. Have you given any thought to making a way to streamline this workflow? I'm not sure I got fully what functionality you need, but probably the "my_XXX" files can be used for this task. If you use an ecu file "8D0907551M.ecu", then also the file "my_8D0907551M.ecu" is read by the logger if it exists. You could store your manually added variables in this file. Same thing for the logger config, a file "my_8D0907551M_template.cfg" will be read by the logger if it exists. For the checksums topic, I have to read and look up some things at first. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on July 15, 2013, 01:23:15 PM Who will be first to publish a ME7 .dsh dashboard file for winlog? Here is the dashboard I used for the video and the logger config file if you want to use it. The usefulness of the logged things is debatable ;), just a collection of gauges and numbers that move/change while you drive... Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: setzi62 on July 15, 2013, 01:30:20 PM I have to take a look at this. Setzi, how did you get around 64 variable limit in winlog and the fact that it is not refreshing the variables until you remove and re-add the driver? I made a logger a long time ago for winlog, but it was not very nice to use because of these problems, so never released it. I did NOT get around the 64 variable limit. The driver is just a basic example, I must even have forgotten to protect against that limit in Winlog. But if you are logging variables for graphical display, I wonder if anybody can watch 64 things simultaneously. The Winlog driver was just the best example to show how ME7L could be integrated into other programs using the shared library. There will be lots of possibilities to integrate ME7L into your own applications, e.g. remote control of logging and streaming of log data over network, merging log data with results from other sources, .... I'm looking forward to see what will show up. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 15, 2013, 03:03:49 PM If you use an ecu file "8D0907551M.ecu", then also the file "my_8D0907551M.ecu" is read by the logger if it exists. Oh wow! I think that solves my workflow issue. Thanks, as usual, setzi. You're my hero.

The driver is just a basic example, I must even have forgotten to protect against that limit in Winlog. But if you are logging variables for graphical display, I wonder if anybody can watch 64 things simultaneously. WinLog has it's own logging - you can make a datalog, and then you can review this datalog with WinLogView. That's why you might want to log everything.

I get "unable to open port error" when trying to use any port other than the port 2 default. I have no problem keeping my cable on port 2, but I thought that I would share. This particular laptop has never run any previous version of ME7L, so I can't confirm that the issue is with the update and not something else.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on July 21, 2013, 10:02:41 PM If you use an ecu file "8D0907551M.ecu", then also the file "my_8D0907551M.ecu" is read by the logger if it exists. However, ME7Info doesn't read the my_XXX.ecu automatically? And it will not create a my_XXX-template.cfg automatically? Quote You could store your manually added variables in this file. Same thing for the logger config, a file "my_8D0907551M_template.cfg" will be read by the logger if it exists. You mean if you specifiy "MELogger logconfig.cfg" it will automatically also read my_logconfig.cfg? I assume the my_XXX.config doesn't need all the header stuff, just a plain list of additional variables?

Strangely enough I seem to have less issues with connection stability using the COM port instead of direct via FTDI. Also another question for anyone that knows. Sometimes the logger window shows the logging progress a dots, sometimes it's as a small o and sometimes it's a mix of small o and big O. eg: Code: |........................................| What's the difference? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: phila_dot on July 22, 2013, 01:54:05 PM I forget the details exactly, but it's in the readme.
IME, you want to adjust the number of variables logged or samples per second to have all dots. The data gets wacky when you get o's. IIRC it progresses from small o's to big O's and finally to exclamation points depending on severity.

First of all big thanks to this forum! I'm new and try to learn as many as I can from all this good information I can find on this forum. I have an Audi S3 from 2001 engine AMK. I found out about this logger and really wanted to use it but on my car I could not connect if the ignition was on. I read all this posts and found out that a solution is to route the K line from ECU directly to OBD port. I didn't want to cut the wires and add a switch so I started to check the wires diagram in ElsaWin. There I found out that the diagnostic wire (K-wire) from ECU is routed through dash panel and this is connected by the immobilizer, I always could connect with VagCom but not with ME7Logger, so while I was in my garage it was very silent and I could hear a relay in the dash that was clicking when I was connecting with VagCom. So I found out in ElsaWin that K wire from ECU is in fact on the 32 pins green connector on pin number 5 and K line that is connected to the OBD port is pin 28, so I connected pin 28 with pin 5 and here it goes, ME7Logger works perfect now. I guess VagCom sends a special command to dash panel in order to connect the ECU K line to the diagnostic K line which is actually connected with all the other modules in the car. I think this was somehow a protection so that you can't access the ECU without a key with valid immobilizer. Hope this post helps other people. Please let me know if you need me to check the wiring diagrams for other cars. Best regards!

I downloaded and installed winlog. I coppied the ME7L_winlog.dll and libME7Logger.dll into the Winlog directory. i opened up winlog and went to device configuration and set everything up just like in the video... 56000 baudrate 10 samplerate absolute timestamps. i even used the cfg file and dsh file provided by stetzi however when i try to load winlog it pops up and says "error initializing device: ME7logger winlog driver. Would you like to retry" also i noticed when i go to the device configuration like setzi does in the video i do not have a little plus next to the "me7logger winlog driver" that drops down all the variables being logged... can someone maybe help me figure out what i am doing wrong here?

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: MIL_on on November 03, 2013, 04:06:09 PM Hey Guys,
at first: Setzi you are great! What a fine piece of software! Thats what i can say after a few hours hazzling around with the car and the problem, that i shared with a crowd of you: i am using it on a 2004 euro 1.8t ME7.5 (225hp) and with nearly every setting it was logging for a few seconds and then got a timeout. i also think that this is a problem with another participant on the k-line. Screenshot of the error in attachment! So here comes my solution: Notice: This works with my blue KKL Cable (so old, it doesnt even have the FT232R Chip, but FT232B orso) change the connection settings in your ecu file to: Code: [Communication] this is how it works fine for me. I even can connect to the ECU during a driving cycle/ with running engine! tested it today up to 50 Hz sampling with a few variables :) i think the most important setting is the 125k baud, so that the whole bandwidth of the k-line is used and no other participant can interrupt. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on November 03, 2013, 04:09:12 PM i think the most important setting is the 125k baud, so that the whole bandwidth of the k-line is used and no other participant can interrupt. Interesting theory! I like it. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: MIL_on on November 04, 2013, 03:47:19 PM some more info to me 7.5 logging based on todays experience :)
i logged 40-50 samples. lower sample rates tend to create early timeouts, same for baudrates less than 125k ! i started with 116 variables to check the capability of the whole system and did a few pulls in several gears.....better said i tried to...it seems that it was all a bit too much for the ecu, so it decided to do a reboot@ 5000-6000 rpm ;D the only way to solve that problem was to reduce the number of labels to log. 67 still produced timeouts@high rpm in low gears. i ended with 31 labels to log. i think round about 40-45 should be possible, but i didnt want to stress the engine too heavy, because those re-boots also mean that it controls exactly nothing for 0.5 seconds orso and its a heavy hit in the car and the pants :D Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: titi65 on December 08, 2013, 05:59:08 AM Tried this soft on my ME7.4.6 on Peugeot V6, not working.

1st security login is not the same. 2nd I guess setzi is not using KWP2000 but something specific to VAG ? 3rd does the ram analysing works with ME7.4.6 with ME7 info ? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: dantt on December 15, 2013, 02:02:45 AM hi setzi62,
is me7logger hard to comple for old windows mobile?? i'd like to log with my ppc. can you help me? thank you! Pushing a little bit forward on the logging front ... Here is my ME7Logger package now available for everybody, has been tested successfully on different cars. It consists of two tools: one to generate ecu characteristics files (similar to properties) out of ecu images, second to log data. No GUI for klicky guys, no graphics, just console programs. /sales_mode=on ;) Will outperform commercially available tools on speed & flexibility: - Up to 50 samples per second possible. - Up to 127 independent variables can be logged at same time. - Open for expansions: whatever you want to log, you can define it. - No fiddling with licenses/hacked programs needed. /sales_mode=off - It's free for hobby use, - It's NOT for noobs. Not a connect-and-log tool, before logging you should have your ecu image available. Last but not least: buy a commercial program if you want to make someone liable for damages/not working logging tools :) Update 12.08.2011, some fixes/changes done: - Experimental FTDI native driver support added, option -f - Logger start time synchronization added, option -t - Logger absolute timestamp added, option -a - Allow TAB's also in trace config files - Variables zwbasar_<xx> for all available cylinders - Variables wkraa_<xx> limited to available cylinders - Minor changes, some variables added Update 09.09.2011, some of the requested changes/fixes done: - Single sample option added (result is output just to the window) - More variables determined for images with code variant (missing tans(IAT) for one image) - zwbasar_<xx> now really available for all available cylinders - Some more variables added - Some alias names added, some changed Update 02.04.2012 to version 1.17: (Updated 04.04.2012 the ME7Info in the .zip, fixed path error) Changes in ME7Logger: - Reworked general timing calculations, timestamps, sync to full second - Fixed local time in absolute timestamps (option -a) - Supress logfile writing when output goes to stdout (option -R) useful if output is piped to external evaluation tool/filter - Added option -m: Timestamp format milliseconds - Added option -h: supress printing header information in logfiles - Added option -b: set logging baudrate for communication, override baudrate from ecu file - connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This only allows to connect while engine not yet started. Changes in ME7Info: - Reverted back to zwbasar_0 .. zwbasar_3 (Array size NOT dependent on number of cylinders) - Some variables added: + zwoutar_0 .. zwoutar_3 + zwsol + redist / evz_austot + lamfaws_w / lamfawkr_w / lamfaw_w / lamfwl_w / lamrlmn_w + perffilt_w / perfmax_w => This is CPU-Load It helps in finding out the max. logging capabilities of your ECU. Around 90% CPU-Load might be a limit for the ECU. Update 10.07.2013 to version 1.20: Changes in ME7Logger v1.20: - Read additional ecu characteristics file "my_<ecufile>" if it exists in same directory as <ecufile>. -> my_<ecufile> should be used to keep manually added definitions. - Read additional log config file my_<ecu>_template.cfg from same directory as log config file. - my_<ecu>_template.cfg can be used to keep log entries for manually added definitions - Optimization of logged data, e.g.: - logging multiple bitvariables which use the same byte will read only one byte from ecu. - logging two byte variables from neighbouring memory addresses will read only one merged word location from ecu. The limits are now: - up to 254 bytes, - up to 127 different memory locations (1 or 2 bytes), - up to 254 variables. - Linux port added -> see "ME7Logger_Linux_DIST_10072013.tgz" Serial interfaces work using device /dev/ttyS*, as well as FTDI cables in serial mode using the kernel module ftdi_sio and device /dev/ttyUSB0. FTDI native mode is supported using libftdi1 and libusb1, both are already included in many Linux distributions. libftdi1: http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi libusb1: http://www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-1.0 - Shared library (DLL) added (.so/.dll) for those who want to implement own logging solutions -> see directory "lib" in the ME7L .zip/.tgz files for description and example program. An example driver for WinLog (http://www.devtechnics.com/winlog.htm) using the ME7L shared library is available as well in ME7L_Winlog_driver.zip. Just copy ME7L_winlog.dll and libME7Logger.dll into the Winlog directory to make use of it. Changes in ME7Info v1.20: - Linux port added - Internal cleanup work Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: titi65 on January 16, 2014, 05:20:46 AM It will not work on peugeot.

Is there possibility to define variables without a factor and log them as raw values in hex or binary format (in other words just dump the memory)? For example i would like to define a variable bunch_of_bits_w and see its values in log like FFFEh or better 11111111111111111110b.

Sometimes I can only get 5-6 samples a second out of my jetta, otherwise it will error out while other times is will sample 10+ per second without issue. Also, try using VisualME7Logger as it has a nice friendly GUI that might make it easier to find configuration that works for your car.

I read this: connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem) To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file: Connect = SLOW-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) This only allows to connect while engine not yet started. And have amended my.ecu file so: [Communication] Connect = SLOW-0x00 ; Possible values: SLOW-0x11, FAST-0x01, Double Slow-0x00 DoubleDelay = 12 ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms) Communicate = HM0 ; Possible values: HM0, HM2-0x01 I'll give it a go.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: aef on August 04, 2014, 10:05:43 AM 15 will not do that much. the right display will show "fuse" instead of the miles
11 will turn of the whole dash. so 11 alone should work. my problem was solved today. Slow-0x00 12 HM0 56000 worked for me. i was able to start the car and the log didnt crash. will do a test drive the other day. 125000 as described by user mil_on to use the whole k-line didnt work for me. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: SB_GLI on August 04, 2014, 02:02:07 PM I finally dug into the issue that I was having logging my Jetta. I could only get like 5 or samples a second and had to cut down the number of variables that I logged.
Since I am using VisualME7Logger, ME7Logger needs to write the log to both the stdout and the file. Writing to both was causing the issues with my car / pc combo. This was only an issue for my jetta, as I have logged other vehicles with my PC at 20 frames per second with no issues. If I write just to the log, or just to the stdout, it logs with no issue. Otherwise it would just take a few samples and then puke out. Testing with ME7Logger from the command line, it still has the same issue when trying to print to the stdout and file at the same time, so it's not VisualME7Logger related. I added an option to disable real-time display in VisualME7Logger and now I can log 50+ variables at 20+ frames per second, I just can't see stuff as I am driving unless I go back to around 5 samples a second. I will release this option in the near future or as needed if someone else notices this problem. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: TLS on August 05, 2014, 12:29:54 AM I'm glad to hear you got it working AEF. I don't have a fuse in spot 11. There are no pins there.
What symbol am I looking for for dash fuse? Am I correct in saying you want me to start the car, pull the dash fuse and then try to connect? I pulled 5 and also 15 together after having started the car. Still would not connect. http://www.passatworld.com/forums/42-volkswagen-passat-b5-discussion/336438-b5-b5-5-passat-fuse-layout-reference.html Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: aef on August 05, 2014, 01:32:20 AM you can try it with car off and ignition on.
dash should went dark if you pull fuse 5 i think. then you have to play with the settings: Slow-0x00 12 HM0 56000 if you are able to connect the me7logger you can try it with dash. if this doesnt work put a killswitch into k-line to dash, maybe this will work. you are allowed to start the car, kill the kline (immo related), turn on logger :) Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: gitman on September 12, 2014, 10:02:03 AM wanted to report an issue - when I mouse over points plotted out on "Y Axis2", it does not pop up a tooltip with the X,Y, and cell values that you can see if you mouse over a point plotted out on the first "Y Axis"

thanx Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: SB_GLI on September 20, 2015, 05:47:50 AM Try logging less variables, a smaller sample rate, or use different baud rates. Id none of that works, try logging with your cluster fuse pulled. I use this logger on several cars and a lot of them have issues keeping the connection. In all most every case, pulling the cluster fuse makes it work 100%.
Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: 316LV on September 20, 2015, 04:22:35 PM ^ Agreed. I had the same issue until I bypassed the cluster for logging. Works flawlessly now.

Can't connect to ECU with the ignition on. Engine is a conversion but have wired in ECU and connected OBD port according to wiring diagram. Nothing else is connected in the k line.

It is "unmodified" csv, and unless you can be more specific about what is wrong with the format, I'm not sure what can be done.

I read what you wrote more than 2 times and also many others threads, here and there. Believe, if I wrote here is because nothing worked. I'm asking about KKL cable because the 12.12 didn´t exist when this thread was created and many threads not even mention exactly what cable are using, just say "cheap ebay cable", "ftdi", but not 12.12 or 409. I'm a SW Engineer but I'm not specialized in cars (but is my hobby) nor those low-level protocols that ECUs speaks. That is why I'm looking for real help here. Thanks again.

Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: tweetss4estate on November 25, 2018, 04:52:13 PM What do you need the EngineID for? What files did you look in? Me7 logger tells me that the engine code should be “2.7T 5V xxx”, and the ecu is coded to say for example “vast file V3”. I am having difficulty copying and then changing one of my 551M config files to work on this car. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: nyet on November 27, 2018, 06:13:07 AM ME7Info should generate the correct EngineID if you run it on the BIN you are currently running. Otherwise, you will have to hand edit the config which should work.
Unless the problem is spaces? Carriage returns? Some other character in the EngineID string? You can only really tell by hexediting the bin itself.

It puts the cable into VCDS mode as soon as it detects any ECU. It screws up all non-vcds programs, but can speed VCDS launch time. If you disable it, VCDS will still work Quote Which one are the best vcp driver to install? As far as I know there is only one; the one from RossTech and it is super old. It isn't a must have, but some ftdi obdii programs will not work with direct usb.

riddle me this: ive been using 8d0 551g flash for the past few years on my car, the logger was working flawlessly about 6 months ago. recently ive got some more time to finish my tune but i couldnt connect using 0x11 slow method. i didnt change anything in the loom, same hw ecu, same cluster etc. ive patched the ecu tp use 0x00 slow method and it did work. now i have a different car, same hw ecu(part of the tuning) , 98my s4 b5, patched flash and while the logger can connect it times out quickly with the info about wrong file format. the loggers log indicates timeouts, and loggers output doesnt show anything weird. ive tried pulling the dash fuse, vcp port, bauds, sample rates, modes (0x11 and 0x00 - first one does not connext at all, second dies after 1-10 samples), tried smaller list of variables (as low as 20) and nothing helped. i didnt try different cable but i will, and i didnt add direct kline wire, i doubt it will help as it did work 0.5y ago. Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on April 05, 2024, 01:10:40 AM The earlier cars there is pretty much no way to get it working stable because cluster closes connection.
Maybe there's some magic handshake to make the cluster "shut up", but ME7Logger doesn't do it, and my tool does not either. The only way is to run a direct K-Line to the OBD II port bypassing the cluster... Or installing a cluster from 2000+. The clusters that have immo 3 (or no immo at all) do not have this issue. From what I have found it is only possible to have a stable connection when the engine is not running, by using the SLOW-0x00 or fast init methods and only with 124800 baud. Probably because this was meant from the factory for flashing the ECU. As soon as you start it, the cluster starts closing the connection, even with these settings. Even if you patch the ECU to allow SLOW-0x00 with engine running, it can connect, but not maintain a steady connection. On the Immo3 cluster it does not disconnect you when you start the engine and with the ECU patched it is also possible to make the connection when the engine is running, and it is completely stable. This is only an issue on early EU 2.7TT, because the RS4 are all Immo3 and all 2000+ cars also use compatible clusters. The ECU's have files 8D0907551 and 8D0907551C on a 29F400 chip from the factory. Because the issue is purely with the cluster, even if you install a newer ECU with immobilizer disabled, then it does not change anything. When I was tuning these cars, I used a special ECU that had emulator inside and it's own OBD II port with direct K-Line, power and ground connections, and I cut the original K-Line inside the ECU. Because the 29F800 ECU can run 29F400 software (just double stack it), then it could be used for every 2.7TT with ME7.1 (but not the newer ME7.1.1 variants). Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: mophk on April 05, 2024, 03:47:21 AM thanks prj for that, that makes sense.
how about the other car? its immo3 ecu/cluster c5 allroad, that worked few months ago. broken cable? Title: Re: Logging ME7 fast and flexible => ME7Logger Post by: prj on April 05, 2024, 04:14:48 AM thanks prj for that, that makes sense. Yeah probably, that should work with SLOW-0x00 at least.how about the other car? its immo3 ecu/cluster c5 allroad, that worked few months ago. broken cable? Some of these cables have really bad efficiency linear voltage regulators that are not fixed to large enough cooling pads, so they overheat/crack over time. My recommendation is as always to use my logger (free for ME7) with a genuine J2534 interface like the OpenPort, but of course it's somewhat more expensive.
