Always log and trail live log file

Post by Reverant »

This is a request from a customer/tuner.

He wants TS Ultra to automatically start logging whenever he goes online with an ECU, without hitting a button or getting asked for a log filename. Then in the "Graphing & Logging" tab, he wants the log file trailed live all the time (again without having to select the log file to trail), with a button to pause the live trail, and to to allow him to go back/forth in the log. Hitting the pause button again resumes the log from the current time, not the time it was paused.

This feature does save time when on the dyno, and also when constantly logging, the odd hiccup issue/problem can be logged even if you have forgotten about starting a log.

These logs could be saved in a subdirectory of the "Datalogs" directory, called say "Automatic Logs" or "Constant Logging", and the filename could be the usual date/time, but really there's no need to ask the user for a filename each time in this mode.

Thoughts?

Set up Triggered Logging for RPM > x, or if he wants it always time > 0
without hitting a button or getting asked for a log filename.
On the main menu:
Options --> Data Log Naming --> Silently Auto Name Log Files
Then in the "Graphing & Logging" tab, he wants the log file trailed live all the time (again without having to select the log file to trail), with a button to pause the live trail, and to to allow him to go back/forth in the log
Click the Graphing & Logging tab while it is logging and it does automatically begin trailing.
with a button to pause the live trail, and to to allow him to go back/forth in the log. Hitting the pause button again resumes the log from the current time, not the time it was paused.
There is a pause & play button like in MLV
But, it does not pause while you are actively logging, it should though.
and to to allow him to go back/forth in the log. Hitting the pause button again resumes the log from the current time, not the time it was paused.
You can move forward and back by using the navigation buttons in the lower right, or by clicking on the log. It will continue playing from the new point in the log..
