Save .msq at the same time with the datalog.

Post by Reverant »

Hi,

a very nice feature when capturing a datalog, would be to save the .msq alongside with the datalog, with the same name as the datalog but with the .msq extension.

So let's say the user starts a datalog named "2014-09-07_13.23.50.msl". TunerStudio will also create a file named "2014-09-07_13.23.50.msq" in the same folder, so that the matching map that resulted in this log is available.

MegaLogViewer will also look for the matching .msq when opening a datalog, so that the "current" tables are always shown in the tuning console.

Thoughts?

I have thought about that... To embed the msq info into a data log would be nice.

The one point of confusion I see is if the tune was changed during the log.

Should the cal data be from the start of the log or end. Perhaps embed 2 msq snapshots and let the user decide which to use.

I think just the start would be sufficient.

I've had this happen to me several times as well. I do remote tuning, and have had the Customer send me a Datalog of the wrong tune. Wastes a lot of time.
