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 Installation page first.

We are also going to assume you have already walked through the basic Initial checks page. If not, please do so!

Furthermore, we are going to assume you already know all the Datalogging basics.

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.

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:

1. Press and hold right mouse button
2. Drag mouse down until entire log file is visible
3. Drag mouse left/right to center a particular section that looks to be of interest
4. Drag mouse up to zoom into that section
5. 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.
