Datalogging freeze up

Thanks for the suggestion. It is the latest i7 top of the line processor so that should not be an issue. Paul suggested it may be a write protection feature in the hard drive due to vibration while driving. I am going to do a couple of tests tomorrow and see if that is it. Thank you.

Mine turned out to be the write protection software that Lenovo puts on their laptops. The sensitivity was set to maximum so any movement caused it to stop writing to protect the hard drive from a perceived problem. Turned sensitivity down and problem stopped. Good call Paul.

I found that my problem is only when looking at charts on the dashboard - it doesn't show any data when connected and the yellow monitor button is pushed, but does when recording. I can monitor data on the dashboard with gauges displayed, and in the F9 data tab.

Also, every time I go to open another dashboard it asks if I want to save it, and I haven't made any changes. Is it supposed to do that?

Thank you,
Mike

This would be my issue as well, I am also using a Lenovo that has this feature. Thanks for the tip paul and the follow up dsltnr!

The charts are not supposed to update when monitoring. There is nothing for the charts to display if no data is being recorded because the charts show the recorded data.

If you've changed something in the layout of the dashboard you will be asked to save it before a new dashboard can be loaded.

Watch that icon and see when it changes from disabled to enabled. That may give you an idea of what is causing the software to think the dashboard needs saving.

Ok, thanks. I'll watch the icon.
