 +===== HOW TO ADD ITEMS FOR DISPLAY =====
 +This section is out of sequence, but it's so important that I want to mention it first. ​ If you want to display items in your log file that are not currently available, you must add the items to the ECU first! ​ You do this using the Edit->​Captured values (F10) dialog. ​ Once you have told the ECU you want it to log a new value, you can then display that value on the screen using the Edit->​Display values (F9) dialog.

 +When you open a previously saved datalog, you can review the settings and direct access data saved with that datalog by right clicking in the graph area and selecting "ECU config (from log)" (F7) or "ECU direct access (from log)" (F8).  Either will open a new tab with data displayed from that log file
  
 **NOTE:** With a V3 ECU, it's possible to change ECU settings while a datalog is being captured. ​ Please be aware that doing this can cause a lot of confusion when reviewing the log file because it will not be clear which settings are in place at any given moment in the log. **NOTE:** With a V3 ECU, it's possible to change ECU settings while a datalog is being captured. ​ Please be aware that doing this can cause a lot of confusion when reviewing the log file because it will not be clear which settings are in place at any given moment in the log.
