BB Logging - Missing Data ?

[Goldfinger911]

Did you try what I suggested above? I got the same behavior until I "thickened" by SD card.

Any ideas what might have caused this?

I'm missing about 25 minutes of important data when looking at the dashboard BUT the data is there when viewing my VE Map???

Yes, I saw a similar thing (chart flatlined, but I didn't check my maps)...

I think that this may happen if you update the firmware and forget to format the data space.

I alerted Paul.

Based on the 49,999 displayed for the last frame number it looks like you've hit the 50,000 frame chart display limit. Increase that limit using Properties->Logging->Log Files->Frames (x1000). Try setting it to 100 which means 100,000 frames.

All my data is back. Increasing the frame limit fixed it.

thanks for the prompt replies.

Look at this... flatlines from frames 6797 thru 15858 (the end).

When I look at the maps, I see a total of 15858 counts, but I can't be sure which data is real and which is flatlined.

My chart frame display limit is set to 100,000.

FlashScan LCD display was still displaying valid data ok during the capture of this log.

Earlier last week I had previously captured good BBL logs (after formatting all spaces) and everything was good.

I don't know what to say Joe, I can't explain why that is happening.

The log file shows 15859 as the frame count, but there are only around 6800 frames in the actual file. It is as if the file has been truncated somehow.

Whether that is due to a fault in the FlashScan firmware, the FAT file system software, the SD card or the USB transfer to the PC, I do not know.

Did you transfer the log file using EFILive_Explorer? If so, can you try using an SD card reader to read the file. That will at least eliminate the USB data transfer as the culprit.

Also if possible can you run check disk (or some other FAT file system checker) on the SD card to see if the FAT file system is corrupt.

Ok, I just realized what happened...

On the log before that one, the ign key was inadvertantly turned off (but V2 remained connected and powered up)... V2 showed the pid labels and blank data... I then stopped the log, turned ign key on and started the new log (the one posted above)... let it run for 40 minutes and then stopped it.

During all of that, V2 remained connected and powered up.

I just now reformated the data space (and promptly lost the *.dtc files).

The key is to remember to not turn off the ign key until after stopping the log.

Here is another similar problem I'm having whilst recording a BBL to SD.

When I start recording the time, frame count and all PID data displayed on the V2 looks good and appears to save. But, when i upload it to the computer whether it's a 10 minute log or a 2 hour log all i get is this (refer attached). No data just notes dropped each frame?

I've recently noticed that the blue light on the V2 does not flash when this fault occurs. I just stop recording then immediately start again and everything's ok for about another 6 BBL's so it's easy to work around but would be nice to know what's going on. I format regularly and have tried 2 brand new SD cards. I'll try recording to internal memory instead for a while to see if that helps.

The "log full of notes" problem has been noted before. Generally it's due to an existing application using a particular screen function that is incompatible with ScanTool. For example, VNC Viewer will cause this problem. The fix is to shut down applications one at a time and restart ScanTool to see which one is causing the corruption. If all else fails.... reboot.
