Advanced options

Clicking the Options button will show and hide the Options Menu.

Limit Speed

The checkbox limits the streaming speed to 20hz. It is recommended to keep it checked at all times, unless you need very high speed data. A patched ECU can log at up to 100hz and the log files quickly become very large. Log processing software also often has trouble with huge log files.

The setting is not saved, it is always re-checked automatically after restart.

Limit stacking

Limits the maximum stacking size. Applied to $22 service and also custom service where variables are sent each time. Usually this parameter is autodetected, but if you have connection dropouts (especially in LIVE), try reducing this value manually.

The setting is not saved, it is turned off at startup.

STmin

This parameter controls the inter-frame timing. You can try to increase this value if you get connection dropouts.

The leftmost value (at -1) lets the device have it's default STmin (usually 0ms), or for some protocols the protocols supply their own STmin value. Any other setting overrides the value.

The setting is not saved, it always defaults to -1 on startup.

Disable $2C

For basic protocols, disables the usage of the $2C service and uses $22 instead. Some control units have buggy implementations of this service and it allows to side-step the problem. Can help with some Delphi control units on MB UDS Basic protocol. After checking the checkbox, you need to re-initialize for it to take effect.

The setting is not saved, it is turned off at startup.

Force ECU measuring blocks scan

For VAG KWP controllers that use measuring blocks - forces a scan of the ECU to determine the actually available measuring blocks rather than using the server provided list (if available). Useful if you added your own custom measuring blocks to the ECU. Can also be used when scalars or formulas are modified on existing blocks, however this verification is done when starting measuring automatically.

The setting is persistently saved.

Attempt to reconnect indefinitely

Once you start measuring or logging, the logger will always try to reconnect regardless of any errors. There is a 3 second delay between attempts.
Useful if you wish to make a single long log from some kind of event.

The setting is persistently saved.

Enable WinOLS integration

Enables or disables the WinOLS map tracing integration for connecting from the Visualizer.
For more information see WinOLS Integration.

The setting is persistently saved.

Send all selected measurements to WinOLS

Forces sending all measurements in the list to WinOLS, not only the ones requested by WinOLS.

The setting is persistently saved.

CSV header format

Controls the order of the header rows. The valid format is field specifier delimited by a comma. Each value after a comma is a new row.

Possible values:

  • {0} - ID
  • {1} - Description
  • {2} - Unit
  • {3} - Custom row (specified in next parameter)

The setting is persistently saved.

CSV custom header

Allows to specify a custom header row, that can then be used in the header format. It is a printf style string, where you can use the following arguments:

  • {0} - ID
  • {1} - Description
  • {2} - Unit

The setting is persistently saved.

Enable CSV markers

Adds a Marker column to all log files just after the Time column.
The column starts at 0 and every time you press the Ctrl+Alt key combination during logging it increases by 1.

The setting is persistently saved.

Always translate definition to English

Automatically checks the “translate” box in the measurement selection window for you each time.

The setting is persistently saved.
