Datalogging

  • To datalog first ensure the correct logging profile is selected in the drop-down menu (located bottom left of the program window). If only one logging profile is available it will auto select when M-Tuner is first opened. If additional logging profiles have been provided by an M-Engineering calibrator make sure to save these profile files to “This PC/Documents/M-Tuner/Profiles” and close/re-open M-Tuner.

          

  • Once the correct logging profile has been chosen, click the “Start Monitoring” button and datalogging will begin. Datalogs will be stored at “This PC/Documents/M-Tuner/Datalogs/your-vin/selected-profile/date-of-logging”, please make sure to e-mail both the “.csv” files as well as “.ldat2” files to info@m-engineering.us when datalog review is required.
