VtrSp1 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I have an issue with the internal logging....Often after the track session (15 min) , i try to download internal logging file and i see they are stopped automatically.. This is very a bad issue because in the most of track session i don't have the ecu log to check after the race. The log stop automatically and random before the internal memory is full I attach a log file downloaded after 14 minutes of track race..the log record only the start 4-5 minutes and after stop I have used as start condition for the log, a 1800 rpm engine speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtrSp1 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I take a look at the runtime, the log memory isn't full but the internal log stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducie54 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I would add log status and log memory use to the ECU logging parameters. Tim D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim D Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I log memory use (as suggested by Ducie54) and this has exposed a problem with mine whereby logging appears fine, then occasionally, it will become deleted. Very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterHay205 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Tim, we have also experienced this issue of random deletion of internal log files. Last month, we attended an even which involved 8 separate runs around a track. We trigger internal logging with a switch wired to a Digital Input (so we can see that it is 'on'). For each of the 8 runs, we would switch it on, do the run, then switch it off. At the end of the event when I checked the logfile, there were only two runs recorded - very annoying. It was the last two that were recorded, indicating that the ECU just deleted the logfile at some point after the 6th run, and all we were left with was the last two. We then did exactly the same event this month, and all 8 runs were recorded perfectly. Go figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think there is a bug causing this as it has been mentioned a few times before. When I was at Link we tried to reproduce it for quite some time and never could so it makes solving it pretty difficult. I suggest you email your tune,logs and a bit of detail to [email protected] just so it stays on their radar and more files from more users may hold a clue. I have a few customers that I regularly view logs for after a race meeting and it has never happened to me yet. I usually have logging running all the time however (no conditions) and usually delete them after I download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim D Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yes I believe there's a bug too. I have a custom dash that I've configured to flash at me when Log Memory use is < 5%. Therefore, when the memory becomes erased, it flashes at me and I know the instant it's become erased. It must have happened to me over 20 times (in 2 years) and every time, it's when starting engine, as confirmed by the subsequent internal log file always starts with ECT showing 'cold'. Should it have become erased right at the end of the previous engine running time (not during starting as I suspect), the ECT would have shown 'hot'. I don't have a log file to hand, however, the resulting new logs have always looks completely normal. The only part I'm not 100% sure about is, whether the erasing takes place during Key-On or Cranking. Hope that all makes sense!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Burnett Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I will Chime in and say that this has happened to me many times. Ill go to a drift event and drive the better part of the day and there is hardly any logged data. My internal logger is triggered by rpm/tps conditions. I dont have near as much info as Tim but having the dash alarm to show when it has happened is a great idea that I would like to implement. Care to share some details there @Tim D? I gather its just config the ecu and dash for log memory on a CAN channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim D Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Interesting to hear that a few others have experienced the same problem. I will email tech support as Adam suggests. To add to my previous findings, I believe logging always works properly (rather than it failing to log for a period of time, which could easily be assumed), it merely gets erased. Brad, you are spot on with your assumption. To elaborate, I've configured CAN2 to stream 'Log Memory Use' and configured my Dash to 'flash at me' if 'Log Memory Use' < 5%. I designed the dash myself so have complete freedom to configure it as I wish, but I suspect the ECU could be configured with some conditional logic (I've never tried this) such that any dash could display the info? I was going to attach my .pclr but get the following message: You are only allowed to upload 81.92kB Can someone at Link help resolve this please?

dx4picco Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 you need to host on external support once you reach your maximum personnal limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 This log erasure issue has also happened to me several times. When I have a log it is fine, but occasionally (1 in 15 or 20 sessions) I attempt to download the log and the only thing there is from Key-On to download the file. I download the log after almost every track session (I may not after warm up or qualifying which are short sessions.) ECU logging is always On.
