New all-in-one graph view

tlcoll1 · Aug 14, 2006, 06:57 PM

At the request of Ivan C and MalibuJack, I went ahead and implemented a new "all-in-one" view for the ECU+ Windows software. This is the multiple-plot display that you see in software like Data Log Lab.

The good news is that this works a lot like the other graphs in the ECU+ software, so there's really no learning curve to use it. The bad news, from my perspective, is the hours and hours it took to do. You guys owe me a can of coke!

Screenshots below.

Sweet.. That all in one view lets me quickly assess things.. In DLL I used it to quickly tell when things werent working right.

That looks really good.. I could definitely use that! Thanks Tom.

When are you rolling out the new software? Can I beta test?

I'll make the new software available as a beta in a few days. Send me and e-mail and I'll send it to ya.

WOW, very cool!!!

Can you overlay a dyno run on it too? That would be the ultimate.

Overlaying the dyno plot kinda doesn't make sense, since the X axis on the all-in-one is time, while the X axis on the dyno is RPM. What you'll find, though, is that with the dyno up and the all-in-one at the same time, the track-back cursor (http://forums.evolutionm.net/showpos...8&postcount=12) will move you back to the associated time corresponding to a dyno position. It's hard to describe how cool this is.

Yea true since the X axis are different but I always thought it would be cool to be able to overlay things on the dyno graph like AFR and Boost, much like a real dyno does. Timing would be great too.

Bad Azz Tom!, I would have asked for it but I felt like you had already given me enough for this time around like the log file trimming.

Ivan_C · Aug 15, 2006, 05:27 AM

Sweet Tom, that looks great. I'm guessing that can also be set while recording? It will help with smaller screen laptops and car pc's that lack in screen rez and size.

Next time I see you Tom, I'll buy you a can of coke.

Try out the new software and let me know if the track-back cursor really accomplishes the same thing. I'm trying to prioritize my to-do list a bit, and my goal in life is to actually, at some point, make it shorter!

Very good point - and yea, you can show it while recording.

GREAT JOB!! I don't know what I am looking at, maybe its just a bunch of skull sutures!!

I am such a computer illeterate dolt. Pretty colors.

Can't wait to see it.. Though I have to thank you profusely for that bigfix, I finally got a good log over the weekend and was able to raise my boost to 23psi and start getting some fine tuning in.

I have another feature suggestion, but I'll wait for suggesting that one because its for the load calculation (According to what the stock ECU would expect) and I don't have a good formula for it yet (using data available exclusively on the ECU+)

Once my frontal labotomy kicked in, I was able to read the graph like Neo can read a data stream..

Honestly it really is just something you get used to seeing.. When I look at that I can see everything relevent about the run and it just makes sense.

That was actually partly the reason I suggested it.. my screen is fairly small and all those graphs were impossible to see. I need larger fonts on the dashboard panel too in order to see that portion.
