-====== ECMLink 101 - Datalogging tips ====== 
-On this page, we're going to assume you've already run through the install procedure and have gotten a good connection established with the ECU.  If you have not, please review the [[ecmlink101install|Installation]] page first. 
- 
-We are also going to assume you have already walked through the basic [[ecmlink101initialchecks|Initial checks]] page.  If not, please do so! 
- 
-Furthermore,​ we are going to assume you already know all the [[ecmlink101datalogging|Datalogging basics]]. 
- 
-===== Overview ===== 
-Datalogging is such a critical feature in ECMLink that we felt it wise to provide a page specifically about the function. ​ On this page you'll find tips on how to efficiently navigate and use the datalogging function in ECMLink. 
- 
-Please note that the "​Operation"​ page of the integrated help file in the ECMLink application provides a LOT of information on this topic as well as a number of other application usage matters. ​ PLEASE read this page to gain familiarity with keyboard short cuts and mouse gestures. 
- 
-===== Right mouse - Pan/Zoom ===== 
-One of the coolest features of ECMLink'​s datalog component is the ability to quickly pan and zoom through a log file using the right mouse button. ​ With a datalog opened, press and hold the right mouse button while you drag the mouse up/down to zoom or left/right to pan.  This feature can make navigating a log file VERY efficient. ​ My personal usage pattern when opening a new log file will be: 
- 
-  - Press and hold right mouse button 
-  - Drag mouse down until entire log file is visible 
-  - Drag mouse left/right to center a particular section that looks to be of interest 
-  - Drag mouse up to zoom into that section 
-  - If that section is not of interest after all, I'll drag down again to zoom back out and pan left/right to find another section and repeat the sequence until I find something I'm looking for.
