+ | ===== Starting a datalog ===== | ||
+ | There are two "modes" of logging in ECMLink. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Streaming to screen ==== | ||
+ | "Streaming" (F11 or ECU->Start stream) receives data from the ECU and displays it on the screen but does not save the data to disk. This can be useful for quick checks or diagnostics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Capturing to disk (and screen) ==== | ||
+ | "Capturing" (F12 or ECU->Start capture) does the same as streaming, but also writes the data to a log file automatically. The name of the log file it creates is determined by the Filenames preferences (Edit->App preferences). | ||
