Are logs supposed to save if the car is shut off or...

Post by 12lbchevelle »

Is there anyway to have a datalog save when shutting off the engine or exiting the app? I blew a headgasket last week while logging and then I shut the car off, also I merely closed the app after shutting down. I came back later after remembering I was logging and the log is not there! I am totally bummed I don't have any data from the head gasket failure.

Hmm, once it has started the log, the file should certainly be there. Is it actually possibly the case that there is a file there that just shows no data when viewed? If that's the case I think I could repair it.

We know the reason now. It's quite simple so will be sorted. We could fix your MSD log for you, but in actual fact Piledriver in the other thread has pointed out that it converts to MSL format just fine and then can be viewed in MegaLogViewer. You could try that in the meantime to view the log taken during your head gasket failure.
