V88 ECU logging parameters

[T4700]

Hi,

I have a VIPEC V88 ECU in an Jetski.

I can not find any documentation about the settings for onboard logging for V88. I only found how to setup triggers for start/stop logging and how to download logs from the ecu.

But how can I setup the onboard logging parameters and how many parameters can be logged onboard?

best regards

Hi

On the V series units the internal logging parameters are preset and not able to be adjusted.

Info from the help file below

When operating, ECU Logging stores real time information in the ECUs on board memory.  This information can be retrieved at a later date for analysis.  The rate at which the data is sampled can be configured as well as when ECU Logging is activated.

 

  It is important to note that this is NOT the same as the Vi-PEC Tuning Software logging feature that stores information directly to a connected PC.

 

  The following settings are available for configuring ECU Logging:

 

·	Logging Mode - Turns ECU Logging off or on.

·	Logging Rate - The rate at which all ECU Logging parameters are sampled.  Note Hz = Samples per second.

·	Activation Mode - The source used to activate ECU Logging.

 

  ECU Logging also provides the following runtime values found under the ECU status tab:

 

·	ECU Logging Status - The current state of ECU Logging.  The following states exist:

·	OFF - ECU Logging Mode is set to OFF or the ECU is not currently logging.

·	Logging - Data is currently being logged to memory.

·	Memory Full - On board memory is full.  Delete the stored log files.

·	Max Logs - the maximum number of log files that can be stored has been reached.  Note that this can occur before the memory is completely full.

·	ERROR:Chip ID - Internal error, contact your Vi-PEC dealer for further advice.

·	ERROR: Page Program - Internal error, contact your Vi-PEC dealer for further advice.

·	ERROR Contents Program - Internal error, contact your Vi-PEC dealer for further advice.

·	ECU Logging Capacity - The percentage of on board memory used.

 

  Notes:

 

·	The parameters logged by ECU Logging are fixed and can not be changed.

·	The maximum number of log files that can be stored is 10.

·	At lower Logging Rates a delay may be experienced when logging is turned off.  This is normal.

 

 

Two versions of ECU Logging exist:

·	Up to and including ECU firmware version 4.9.8.

·	From ECU firmware 4.9.9 onwards.

 

ECU Logging Parameters up to and including ECU firmware version 4.9.8

 

  The following parameters are able to be logged in ECU logging mode:

 

AN Volt 1 to 11	Inj timing
Anti-Lag Cyclic Idle	Knock Count Global
Anti-Lag Ign Cut	Knock Level Global
AN Temp 1 to 4	Knock Threshold
BAP	Launch Limit
Batt Voltage	MAP
CL Stepper Limit	MAP Limit
Digital Frequency 1 to 6	Mass per Cyl (x100)
Dwell Time	Max Ignition
E-Throttle Limit	MGP
ECT	Overrun Fuel Cut
ECU Temperature	RPM Limit
Engine Speed	Speed (DI 1 to 6)
Fault Codes	Speed Limit
Gear	TP (Main)
GP RPM Limit 1 and 2	Trig 1 Err Counter
IAT	Under Voltage
Ign Angle	Voltage Limit
Inj Actual PW	Wake-Up Status
Inj Duty Cycle (Sec)	VVT Cam Position

 

ECU Logging Parameters from ECU firmware version 4.9.9 onwards    

 

The following parameters are able to be logged in ECU logging mode:

 

AFR Target	Inj timing
AL Active Fuel Table (Status)	Knock Count Global
Altitude	Knock Level Global
AN Volt 1 to 11	Knock Threshold
Anti-Lag Cyclic Idle (Status)	Launch Limit (Status)
Anti-Lag Ign Cut (Status)	MAP
AN Temp 3 and 4	MAP Limit (Status)
BAP	Max Ignition (Status)
Batt Voltage	MGP
Boost Target	Overrun Fuel Cut (Status)
CL Stepper Limit (Status)	Percentage FCut
Cruise Switch Mode (Status)	Percentage ICut
Differential Fuel Pressure	RPM Limit (Status)
Digital Input 1 to 12 (Status)	Speed (DI 1 to 6)
Dwell Time	Speed Limit (Status)
E-Throttle Limit (Status)	Timer 1
ECT	Timer 2
ECU Temperature	TP (Main)
Engine Speed	Trig 1 Err Counter
Fault Codes	Under Voltage (Status)
Gear	Voltage Limit (Status)
GP RPM Limit 1 and 2 (Status)	VVT Cam Position
IAT	Wake-Up Status (Status)
Ign Angle	WGate DC
Inj Actual PW	Wideband 1
Inj Duty Cycle
Inj Duty Cycle (Sec)

 

Setting up ECU Logging

 

  The following procedure describes the necessary steps to log information into the ECU on board memory then retrieve it later.

 

1.	Set ECU Logging Mode to On.

2.	Set the desired Logging Rate.

3.	Select the Activation Mode to be used.  Select the input or output that will activate ECU logging.

4.	Turn on the input or output that activates ECU Logging.  Note that the ECU Logging Status runtime value will change to Logging while the ECU is storing data to memory.

5.	Turn the input or output off to stop logging.

6.	Download the log file for viewing.

 

  Setup Hints:

 

·	A spare Auxiliary Output set to GP Output can be used to allow ECU Logging to be activated under a combination of conditions.

·	Wire a switch to a Digital Input and set that input to GP Input to activate logging using an external switch.

Thanks,

my missunderstanding came from this sentence from the help:

"The following parameters are able to be logged in ECU logging mode:"

(thought I have to choose 25 from them)

So if I get you right, all these parameters above will be logged if I start ECU logging on V88?!

Yep correct all parameters in the list will be logged.
