Composite log?

[JAM]

Today i updated my TS to Beta v 1.42 and MS3 firmware pre 1.1 beta 21, both successful.

For some reason I cannot capture a composite log to a file, when i select to capture to a file it appears everything is working but does not save the file.... prior to the updates i had no problem, any advice?

It seems Ok here... I might need to see your TunerStudioAppDebug.txt to see if there is some sort of error occurring.

Ok, I may be doing something wrong. I was looking for the proceedure to capture the log and could not find it. Something seemed a little off when I could not see the log until i toggled the render button a couple of times and then it would show up. I also tried both ways of clicking the capture log button before and after the start/stop sequence. after i would click save there was still no file in the folder, tried different folders etc.

How/where do i get the TunerStudioAppDebug.txt ?

If working right, it should capture the log no matter what order you do it in.
Start the composite logger then check the "Capture to log file" box or check the box first, then log.

The TunerStudioAppDebug.txt file would be in your TunerStudioProjects folder.

This may be a bad sign but it is to big to attach

They get big...

There are things you can do.

delete it, then start TS and try to capture a composite log to a file. If it doesn't work, that will have just the info I'm looking for and save a lot of sorting through.

Or zip it and email it to p_tobin <at> yahoo . com

Lets try this, let me know if you see anything odd, thanks!

No Errors in there, but that file is from March 21 running TunerStudio version 1.21

[JAM]

your right, grabbed from the wrong project

lets try again

I'm not seeing anything to indicate a problem in there either
It does look like you were running multiple instances of TunerStudio there though. Were you getting the prompt that another instance is running?

You did attempt to capture a Composite Log?
Is the Composite Log data displaying on the screen while you are capturing it? Then just no File?
Do you see the data in the Text Area on the left?

[JAM]

at one point i tried to reopen the program(i have been investigating vr output) so that is prob what you see (dang its like big brother file lol, cant hide my stupidity lol)

it does not display on screen at all unless i try and toggle that render button a few times and then it will show up but still not capture. it seems like i do not see data on left, makes me wonder if what eventually pops up on the graph is really a current log

Ok, I was misunderstanding you then... I though you were seeing the composite log, it just was not capturing to a file.

It sounds almost like it is just timing out. When you start the composite logger, it waits for the firmware to tell TS that a page is ready to read, the firmware sends that signal when the data page is full. If TS never gets the green light after 10 or 15 seconds it times out and reads what ever is there.

Is the engine running? Are you sure there should be good log data?
What sort of wheel are you running?

Ok, I see....

well, its not running..... that is the problem, i was having all kinds of nasty backfire problems with timing wandering all over the place. I was logging problems during cranking (it worked then) and found noise on the cranking crank VR. james has walked me through this and i think i am closer to running. I will give it another try

when i start the composite log the tab flashes, and when i stop it the tab flashes.( i assume this is the standard indicator that shows the log is starting/stop)
I am not getting any numbers in data view when trying to log composite. I do get numbers when in trigger log mode but it still will not save to a file.

I am still just cranking to look for sync loss and getting ready to start, but it gave good data in the past when i did this. I tried cranking directly after starting the log, starting the log while cranking etc. with no results logged

what is all the criteria to log composite, is there a min rpm? certain amount of events before it will start?
I went ahead and updated TS to current

here is current debug,

There is no criteria in TunerStudio. The firmware logs the data, TunerStudio reads it and renders what ever data comes back..
What shows up in the Text Area on the left?

[JAM]

I must be doing something wrong, I reloaded pre21, I have the most current tuner studio, and still no numbers in the dataview during cranking? so no composite log.....

[LT401Vette]

From what you are saying, I think there is no composite log because the MS isn't getting a readable signal.

Is it displaying any RPM while cranking?

The data TS is capturing is not the actual analog data from the sensor, it is the data logged by the firmware. So if the firmware is not seeing any cross overs, it will not capture anything.

[JAM]

yes, there is an rpm signal that shows up on the gauge in tunerstudio.... but since the car will not run correctly maybe this is part of the problem, but the confusing thing is that it logged before. here is a screenshot of what i was getting while cranking on the VR output jumper with GM7x trigger, james said it looked good. (once i try to actually start it again and not just crank, it falls apart). the signal was really bad until i turned r56 in cw 1 turn

If you are getting RPM's, the MS must be seeing something.

Are you getting absolutely no data at all in TunerStudio?

[JAM]

correct, nothing shows up in the dataview tab or the graphing portion while trying to log composite.
