If it isnt a problem or a suggestion it probably goes here.

Logging (update) rate

Post by Vetal »

Can this be improved? Now rate is only 5 times per second which isn't really enough (I had 450rpm change between updates).
is there anything that can be done?
I've noticed that info is written every 1/10th of a second, but most records come in pairs with identical information - maybe this is a bug, fixing which we would get real 10times/sec rate?

Originally when this firmware was designed on the R31 the rate was much higher. But then it affected the operation of particular vehicles including the Z31

Every software interrupt that occurs we used to send all consult values in the table to the PC. It was very fast but affected operation

Now for every software interrupt only one consult value is sent over the USB line.

(More time spent inside the interrupt handler took time away from the ECU operation and affected injection)

I can raise an investigate item to increase the number of consult values reported and see what limits I can push without affecting vehicle operation. But this will require a firmware update and wont happen immediately until other problems have been resolved firstly

Is this the reason why logger records same data twice?

It is possible that the logger is oversampling the USB data.

- USB read loop is at 50ms (20 x per sec)
- Log playback/record loops are at 100ms (10 x per sec)

In theory with current data logging, you should be able to get 10 per sec. I can increase the resolution of the playback/record loops, if I can stop the data from being oversampled, by increasing rates

10 times per second would be much mich better. Then it would be possible to tune the car not only in higher gears, but also in lower and possibly during shifting :)

We are now reading USB consult data and logging at 30ms. This is a good synchronisation time to also use with the wideband units

So we are sampling data at 33 times per second, but it depends on the rate that the ECU outputs also

Currently the firmware @ 3000rpm is spewing out the consult table data at 9 times per second on average. Higher revs might slightly increase the amount of data available to sample due to increased interrupts processed (consult firmware called more often)

I believe we have got close to achieving our target without modifying firmware further

Wow, this is truly great :D Can't wait to check how it works - hopefully this week I will finish my car and check

Matt,

On the Type 3 ECU's the update rate is only 10 times a second in stream mode, is it possible to set this to around 30 times a second? Another consult program i use updates at 85 times a second and is great for logging but doesnt do wideband unfortantly.

Perhaps a user adjustable update rate would be good to accomodate for the various ecus?

I should be able to do that. Just decreasing the sleep time between log writes. I've added it to the list
