i just cant seem to figure this logging thing out... ive done everything i know of to log. i right clicked on the window and did the defrost thing and also where to save the file. when i hit the defrost it doesnt do anything and there are no logs to be found. that was one time trying, now when i open ecuexplorer it tells me comm 1 port is no longer available check to see if its the right port or something like that and it wont connect to the ecu again. help please... thanks

usb or serial port?
what cable?
what comm port are you using?
were you getting live data before?
when logging it shoudl note at the top where the file is being written, check there?

ok i got the cable to work again by unplugging it from the port and plugging it back, but the defog switch still wont work. i tried just right clicking and selecting start log and it logged the run but wont show any values. :confused:

serial port
ap cable
comm1
yes i got the menu for values to be displayed (check or no check) w/ my type of ecu to the left 01/02 wrx....

On the latest version of ecuexplorer you have to right click where the data values are and "check" the "Trigger on Defog switch" selection. You may also have to select "defog switch" under the menu below the realtime data values. You can also choose the logging directory (where it is saved) by right clicking.

Are you seeing realtime data while your driving, but it just doesn't save it?

If you have too many items to log selected it may freeze up and stop logging. Try reducing the number of parameters to less than 5 and see if that works. If it does you will have to reconfigure the comm settings under the options menu. There are instruction on how to do this on www.tari.co.za

If your still having problems post up a question on tari, not many people visit it but the ones that respond should be able to help you with any problems you have.

yeah i checked off the defog switch and no its not showing any numbers before during or after. im doing everything right i think, ill reduce the number of parameters........ i think ive only got 6 or 7 though. thanks.
