Viewing Log Files

The PCHUD software enables you to capture data which is then saved as a .Log file

Bundled with the software is a log viewer (Log.exe) which is good but not great visually.

Log.exe has a function that allows you to export the captured data. "Export As Text" it will create a .csv file that can be viewed with Microsoft Exel.

I recently found some log viewing software that is visually much better, Giving colour to the graphs and the ability to play back the data in "real time".

To get this to work with our exported csv file requires a little tweeking.

1/ you need to delete the empty "Time" column.

2/ rename the "pc time stamp" to "Time" (without quotes)

Running the program
-------------------

click on the "Guide Me" button then select "i want to open a datalog file" and load your .csv file.

From here you can setup your gauges and graphs as required.

Here's the link to the free software (click on the "download now" writing)

and here is a link for some files to play with.

In my download there is

1/ RX3.log - a 10 miniute ride log capture file i did with a laptop in my top box.
this can be viewed using log.exe but you will need to zoom in with the controls to see the data.This is because there is quite a lot of dead time at the beginning.

2/ RX3.csv - exported from Log.exe

3/ RX3 Live Link Gen.csv - this is ready to be viewed with Live Link Gen software. Also i have cut the dead time from the beginning and some unwanted columns.

4/ RX3.ply - this is a snapshot file that can be viewed in PCHUD, it will show a freeze frame of the gauges.
