ECMspy, megalog tunning

[migs16]

so i did my first megalog a few days ago. i really liked it and it was super easy. thanks to the writeup.

my one question is do i have to do part 2?? i really like part one with the new map can i just leave it at that?

Are Tunerpro RT and Ecm Spy pretty similar? I have an 09 and will have to learn how to use Tunerpro

Short answer is no. Here's a fast-track if you want some support: Tunerpro Tuning Sessions.

Anyone know how to get the column headers to go in order and not be all out of whack using tunerpro rt5?

 

[theoctopus]

Are you using the correct XDF and ADX files?

 

[SnyderJ21]

Im using the ECM type that I got from ECM read which was buezd and ddfi3 for my 09 bike the headers on the column starts at 8k then 7k 6k 5k 4400 3900 3400 etc

 

[theoctopus]

So they're not all out of whack, they're just backwards....

You can reverse columns in the preferences menu.

 

[SnyderJ21]

Well the RPM numbers are different... for example Ill have 1150 in the stock map and 1200 in the datalog table they are all like 50 to 100 away but none really match up

The history table is the one that is incorrect.

I like it!

I'm having trouble maintaining a connection with my bike while datalogging it loses it connection really fast. The USB connection on the computer kind of wiggle and I'm sure thats whats causing it. Any ideas to keep it secure while datalogging? Right now I'm using a backpack with a hole cut in the bottom for the cord to come out of. How do you guys keep your laptops on your ride?

add a egt sensor and feed it to the open pin on the ecm to collect data for you. this can be done in Tunerpro and ecmspy.

you can also run widebands directly yo open line on the ecm to record the wb data for fuel alalisis as well as nb data.

set your read count low something like 25 or less.

If your on Tunerpro go to my software page and get the MSQ maker for tunerpro. and look at the video's on youtube. search tunerpro buell I have three there.(see dates) this has been done a long while ago.

Now you have it all..

And Good Job Gator you have come a long way...

I have all the pieces....Windows 7 mind you. I press the disk button to record and no files show up in the megalog folder after the ride? Help??

Install ECM spy to a directory other than program files. I installed mine to my desktop. Windows 7 has some controls with prevent ECMspy from generating new files when it's in program files.
I think someone else mentioned the files might be in the appdata folder, but I just found it easier to install it to a different location (my desktop)

Hope this helps.

I have Windows 7 64-bit. ECMSpy was installed into Program Files(x86) and it creates logs just fine.

I had some other issues with recording logs on my laptop. Every time I closed the lid, the laptop would stay running like I set it to, but when I moved it the hard drive would lock and it would stop recording all data until I opened the lid again. I could not figure out how to stop the hard drive lock. Luckily, my laptop is a tablet so I was able to just fold the screen down in tablet mode and it kept recording data while in motion.

 

[SnyderJ21]

I think I'm having the same problem as you blaylock... Except mine is not a tablet... I thought my usb cable was just coming loose but your reason makes more sense.. any advice to fix a non tablet to keep recording?

A lot of laptops have motion sensors that temporarily stop hard drive these days. This results in a log that stops and starts and has errors in it. The name for this protective mechanism varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, unfortunately. The control panel is where this feature can be turned off. Do it at your own risk, though. Vibration and rapid movement while writing to a hard drive can be a recipe for big time problems and loss of all data. I've never encountered this, but backing up any and all important files is a good idea if you're going to disable this protection.

 

[Blaylock1988]

I am pretty good with computers and I could not figure out how to turn the motion protection off. The thing is, I can move my computer around while the lid is open and it's fine, but if I even bump the computer a tiny bit with the lid closed, the HDD LED goes from blinking white to solid orange, indicating that the hard drive is docked and locked.

Luckly my laptop is covered by my personal articles policy with my auto insurance. So if it is damaged or broken for any reason, even while riding my motorcycle, EVEN if it is MY fault, it is still covered, and only $3 a month with State Farm.

It is too bad that the ECMSpy writes directly to the hard drive. It would be better if it kept the file in RAM until you click the stop recording button.
