Need a "flagging" tool/option

Ive been tuning lt1s for about 2 years. Still learning things, but you know what would be the GREATEST tool imaginable...a flagging tool of sorts.


So when you are logging in freescan or dataMaster you could mouse click at anytime during the log, and it would mark or "flag" that frame. In that way, you could be driving along, feel a hesitation/cam surge whatever, and flag the exact time and readings when it occured.

Would make tuning SO much easier. You wouldnt have to try and watch the laptop and drive at the same time (common we have all done it).

Who wants to try a hack, it cant be that hard to implement. I dont know much about programming, but freescan would be the easier of the two i think. Just add an extra column to the CSV output and continuosly output '0' to it. When mouse/button is clicked, change the output to '1' or something like that. Holding the button would keep changing the next frame, and the next until released. :)

Funny you should mention that. I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday will I was driving around logging with datamaster.

Me too! I was thinking like a "bookmark" so you cn find that spot later. I use Datamaster. i can't believe they don't have this feature.

Well I almost got Freescan to compile but I need this file...if anyone can find it for me I would be greatly appreciative. "nafxcwd.lib"

atljar

Found this...


LNK1104: Cannot open file nafxcwd.lib

This error sometimes occurs when a project uses a class from the MFC but
the project settings don't explicitly tell the link editor to look in the MFC
libraries.

Go to Project --> Settings (Build --> Settings in Visual C++ 4.0). On the General tab check the box that says "Use MFC in a Shared DLL".

The Ease scanner has that.
It has 6 F keys, each is a different color marker so while your recording you can hit a key and inject a color marker as many as you want and then when replaying the color markers show up so you instantly find the points of time you wanted.
Via the graph mode which shows 6 graphs at once the color markers show in each and if you do not want to see those markers you can turn then off.

Thanks for the reply, but i just checked out the price list for EASE scan. I about fell over. lol. I think it would be cheaper to hire a programmer to fix FreeScan than it would be to buy the Ease scan :)

Not sure what cost your looking at but the Ease scanner is $350 which comes with the software, cables and CAN/GMLAN interface.

Jared give me a sample file that you have logged (w/ data in it) so i can look at it

I was looking here...
http://www.easesim.com/scantool/data/scantool_pricing.htm
To me it looked like the software was 300 bucks, plus another 500 or whatever for the scanner itself. Not a ton of detail on that page and i didnt really go into it.

.... No logs saved on the comp at this second, ill get you one tomorrow and mail it to you.

No that is the Pro versions, you want the personal version so for a OBD-I its
PER-GM1-1 (GM OBD I Cable) $315.00

K, i almost have it, i need to add what you do to "set" the flag. Right Click? keystroke? Button?

Thanks for the link to the EASE scanner. Im going to look into it more. I would like the ability to monitor BCM stuff as well as ECM :)


Wow im impressed on your progress in the program hack !!!!!!! I suggest a keystroke, specifically the spacebar. Its big and would be easy to push/find while driving. Right clicking wouldnt be bad either.

Don't be impressed, this is hard part, lol

OK, ive got SOMETHING, lol i dont have my laptop so i cant test it out, you dont have to send me a sample file, just give me your email so i can send you the program to test out.

It works, i sent the updates to Atl Jar, he should be zipping them and posting them soon! ;). LMK if theres any other "hacks" you guys want to add...I think I've got a few things I can add onto it to make it a little bit better, i will post updates somewhere, but e-mail me with ideas Lt1Tease at hotmail.com
