Logging
AEM Dash has 200Mbytes of internal data logging memory and supports logging rates of up to 1000Hz. Data is
downloaded and analyzed with AEMData Analysis software.
To configure logging, select
Setup | Logging
to show the log setup window. Channels available to be logged are
shown on the left hand side. To log a channel, select the desired rate from the Log Rate column. Logging a specific
channel also automatically selects all other children and parent channels for logging at the same rate.
AEM Dash inserts markers in the data to indicate various states and these are displayed in AEMData. The following
markers may be inserted by AEM Dash:
·
Lap
- This is inserted when the beacon input is triggered and is typically used for lap timing.
·
Power
- This is inserted when the display is configured to start logging immediately on power up.
·
Log Start
- This is inserted when the log start condition is met after power up
·
Overrun
- The display has been unable to write the log data to the memory in the time available. Either reduce the
number of logged channels or reduce the complexity of the display screen.
Log start/stop conditions
The logging can be started or stopped dependent on channel conditions. Every time a new log is started, a new
Log
Run
is created in the logger. Log runs can be downloaded individually with AEMData which reduces the time taken
to download the data.
The log can be started in one of three ways:
·
Single input start/stop
- When the specified input is non zero, the log will be started. When zero, the log will
be stopped. For example, if the channel EngineSpeed is used as the trigger, the logger will log anytime the
engine is running.
·
Twin start/stop triggers
- When the Start trigger is non zero, the log will be started. When the Stop trigger is
non zero, the log will be stopped.
·
Log Always
- The logging starts logging immediately on power on and will log until switched off or until the log
is full.
