Feature request - group function for display

Post by Marek »

MLV allows for the display scale to be custom set for a parameter like EGT1 or Seq PW1. It'd be nice to be able to wildcard EGT? or Seq PW? so that all EGT or pulsewidths immediately get to use the same scale when displayed.

This is of marginal interest to a four cylinder car owner but would be progressively more attractive the more cylinders a car has.

In a similar manner, can more traces be displayed on the screen than four boxes of four traces? A display option I'd like to see would be for a set of minimised buttons on the left, any one of which when maximised brings up a saved tracelist so it'd be easy to snap from EGT1-4 to EGT5-8 or EGT9-12 without having to re-enter loads of choices into the dropdown boxes on the left. At the moment, the only way to look at a lot of detail is to have multiple copies of MLV open at the same time, but most of the "views" will be lost at the end of a session.

kind regards
Marek

Good suggestions. To set multiple limits at the same time I usually edit the mlv properties file with a text editor as it is quicker. I'd also like to see the auto scaling keep the traces a pixel or two within the window so that 100% TPS doesn't disappear off the top.

Hello,

IMO, while Megalogviewer is a really powerfull tool, it's not user friendly...

I hope that someone could have a look at WinlogView (Tech Edge log reader developped by Justin at Devtechnics). THIS tool is user friendly !

So, if Megalogviewer could get the same approach, this will be really great !

Cheers,
Manu

Wildcards seem like a good idea.
