- | ====== 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. | ||
