Figure 13: Entering the logfile prefix
Now all log files will be saved in numerical order with the prefix that was entered. Example: TestDrag0000.csv.
To view log files:
1. Remove the SD memory card from the DashDAQ.
2. Place the memory card into a SD card reader and attach to your PC.
3. Open the contents of the card. Log files are saved in the “logs” directory on the card. Log files may be opened in Microsoft
Excel or any other spreadsheet program that accepts *.csv files. Logworks *.dif can be viewed in the Logworks program
available from Innovate Motorsports for free at www.innovatemotorsports.com
.
Note: log files may start with a negative timestamp. The DashDAQ records a few seconds of data before the [Start Log] button is
pressed.
GLOBAL DATA LOGGER
DashDAQ has the ability of logging any parameters setup on any particular gauge layout. DashDAQ can also log global parameters other
than what is specified in the gauges. The Global Data Logger allows a user to log parameters other than what is specified in the gauges
area. This is useful when a user wants to log more than what is available on one gauge layout, or when the user always wants a certain
set of parameters logged when they hit the [Start Log] button in the gauges. To setup the Global Data Logger:
1. Tap on [Data Logging] from the Main Menu.
2. Tap on [Signals].
3. Tap on [Add]. Then [Assign Signal].
4. Select you signal, then tap [Save]. Tap [Save] once more.
5. Now notice your signal has showed up in the list.
