The
Woolich Racing Tuned software allows you to read and write to your ECU but also includes a lot of other features for reviewing logged data in order to optimise the tuning. The Data Viewer is a tool which allows you to open logged files of Engine Data and view these and perform some other useful functions. This article described how to use the Data Viewer effectively to get the most out of this software tool.
To open the tool you can click on the 'Data Viewer' button in the main window of the
Woolich Racing Tuned software as shown below:
Once you have opened the Data Viewer you will need to open a previously logged file containing Engine Data. These files are saved to the micro SD card of the Log Box and can be opened using the 'Open Log File' button as shown below:
Once you have opened the Log File you should see the data displayed on screen, the example in the image below is for data logged on a 2016 MT-10:
Configuring the Data Display
In the image above we can see two graphs; the first shows AFR, TPS% and ETV and the second shows RPM, Gear and Manifold Pressure. The data displayed can be freely configured by selecting File > Configuration as shown below:
The software will then display the 'Data Log Viewer Configuration' as shown below:
This window can be used to modify the number of graphs displayed and the the parameters displayed on each graph including the colours of the different data traces. It is also possible to adjust the Y-axis for any of the data traces on the graphs and this configuration will be saved when you click on the 'OK' button.
Navigating Through the Data
The graph data can be navigated in a number of ways using either the buttons on the bottom of the Data Viewer window or the mouse wheel. The various arrow buttons on the bottom of this window allow you to jump forward or backward through the data while the '+' and '-' buttons allow you to zoom in and out.
The mouse pointer can be moved around the graphs and the data values will be displayed on screen for the specific time period where the mouse is located. If rotate the mouse wheel down you can scroll forward through the data, rotating the mouse wheel up moves backwards through the data.
Zooming in and out can also be performed by holding down the 'Ctrl' button on your keyboard while rotating the mouse wheel up or down. This allows you to quickly select and view different regions of interest and zoom in on them to review the data.
Selecting a Range of Data
A useful feature is the ability to select a specific range of logged data and this can be exported to an xml file or exported directly into AutoTune as described below. To select the start of the data range you can simply click anywhere on the graph with the left mouse button. You will see the starting time value that you selected displayed on the bottom right under 'Export Timespan'. To define the end of the time range you can hold down a 'Shift' button on the keyboard and left-click on the graph again. You will then see a second time added to the 'Export Timespan' which should now define a specific time range as shown below. If you need to adjust the start or end times you can simply repeat the process above.
Note that if you click the left mouse button on the graph the start time will be set and the end time will be erased - if you export data in this state the entire data set will be exported as there is no valid range selected.
Exporting a Range of Data to AutoTune
A new and very useful feature of the Data Viewer is the ability to select a specific range of logged data before exporting this directly to AutoTune. The AutoTune feature has always allowed users to load a Log File (File > Open Log File) however this loads the entire Log File into AutoTune and sometimes we do not necessarily want to include the whole data set. This is especially useful for large data logs where not all of the data is always useful and you might like to eg. select dyno pulls for specific gears only. By selecting a valid range of data and then selecting File > Export to AutoTune (as shown below) the data will be automatically exported to the AutoTune window where the AFR data will be displayed as shown below:
The data exported into AutoTune can then be used as normal to modify the fuel maps to achieve Target AFR values, except in this way the AutoTune only uses the data that was selected and exported from the Data Viewer.
Exporting a Range of Data to an xml file
Another useful feature is the ability to select a specific range of logged data which can be exported to an xml file for eg. analysis with another software package. After selecting a valid data range using the method described above, you simply select File > Export to XML (or press Ctrl + E) and then provide a filename and location to save the file. Only the selected time range will be exported so it is possible to export several smaller ranges from a larger data log file. These exported XML files can also be imported again by selecting File > Open and then selecting the appropriate *.xml file.
Data Viewer - Live
The Data Viewer can also be opened directly from the Engine Data window while viewing live data which offers a useful alternative to viewing only the current values. The Engine Data is updated several times per second so always shows the current measured values, while the Data Viewer shows the complete history by graphing the Engine Data against time.
Data Viewer - Live can be started from the Engine Data window by clicking on the button as shown below:
This will open the Data Viewer which is populated with live Engine Data and graphed using time as the x-axis, these plots are updated in real time allowing you to monitor changes on the bike. These graphs can be fully customised to display various parameters as described above under 'Configuring the Data Display'
