Help! setting up JB3 Datalogging

e93WhiteonRed · 08-17-2010, 08:56 PM

Does anyone have any "datalogging for dummies" directions for datalogging with the BMS cable? I already have it run though the firewall and pulled through the glovebox - literally all I need is someone to show me where to get the software, how to install it, and how to install the drivers etc.

I already have a JB3 2.0 I dont need to change anything with the tune, just want to datalog and read values.

thanks!

Datalogging directions:
To being recording click “file” “connect” to establish communications with the JB3. If you fail to connect, ensure you’ve selected the appropriate communications port under settings.

If the RPM and other signals are moving around below you are recording. If you have stopped recording for any reason and want to restart or reset a log you can click “data logging” “start”. The interface will store up to 5000 data points. If you have samples / second set to 10 under settings this will yield a maximum of around 8 minutes of recording time per log.

At the conclusion of your runs/log, click “data logging” “stop and display” to stop recording and plot the datalog. Parameters can be added or removed from the display by clicking the “add” button next to each. If you want to save the log for later, or email to BMS, click “data logging” “export” “csv” and save the file. You can click “data logging” “open CSV” to study the log at a later time. All parameters will be always saved in the CSV regardless of your viewing settings.

Use the “data logging” “X Axis” menu to adjust the scaling or filter out non-WOT activity. With longer logs and slower computers scrolling through the display can be slow, so limiting viewable data to near WOT activity only can be a time saver.

I'm not even there yet.... Literally.... I need basic instructions. What drivers do I need. Do I just plug my computer into the JB3 and it will automatically work? I'm a car guy not a computer guy.... and to make it worse I simply cant find any instructions.
