9th Dec 2007: Issue Identified with Windows XP "Language for Non-Unicode Programs" Setting

An issue has been identified in Windows XP where if the "Language for Non-Unicode Programs" option is set to an East Asian language, Data Log Lab's trial functionality does not work.  This results in premature expiry of the trial period.  Whilst this is investigated and a fix prepared, the issue can be avoided by changing this setting to a non East Asian language, , e.g. "English (United States)".  The setting can be found in Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Advanced tab.

25th Nov 2005: Data Log Lab version 1.5.7 Launched

This version welcomes the following list of new ECU users to the Data Log Lab fold:

• All Nissan cars with Consult ports

• Apexi Power FC

• GEMs Mitsubushi Evo ECUs

• Hydra Nemesis

• Innovate LM-1 and LMA-3

• Xede

• Zeitronix ZT-2 Wideband AFR Meter

And with the addition of Data Log Lab's latest feature of Universal Data Log Loading, ANY data log can now be loaded by Data Log Lab.  All that's required is that the data log is a text-based delimited format (typically generated by the data logging software for loading into a spreadsheet, e.g. Microsoft Excel), and the creation of a simple Data Log Definition file to tell Data Log Lab what's in the data log.  Download, install, and see the application's on-line instructions for detailed information on how to do this.

There's also the following enhancements for existing users: 

• Maximum length of data log load increased to 300,000 records.

• New high-contrast graph colouring options.

• Aerodynamic properties in car definitions enhanced to allow drag coefficient and frontal area to be specified.

• Preset graph lists only contain those applicable to the licence type of the loaded data log.

• Sample details lists only contain data items applicable to the licence type of the loaded data log.

24th Jan 2005: Data Log Lab version 1.4.5 Launched

This addresses a few minor bugs in version 1.4.4 and adds support for the Latest Flyin' Miata chip features.

20th Jan 2005: New Flyin' Miata Link Real Time Tuning Display 

Although Data Log Lab ships with the most current version of MDOS_AT.EXE, for real-time fuel and ignition tuning, we recommend you install Stan Mahaffey’s excellent RTLink. Once installed, simply change the Path and File Name of Data Log Conversion Program to RTLink.EXE.

RTLink brings real time display to the Link ECU. It displays the current zone, all zones visited during the run, and any auto-tuning alterations made to them. It provides audible feedback to aid driving in zone centres for tuning purposes, and provides a display of various other engine parameters including water and intake air temps, NB and WB O2 sensor output. It integrates smoothly with Data Log Lab and comes with exhaustive documentation. It can be downloaded from its home page on the Flyin’ Miata web site.

In addition all ECU users benefit from the following new features:

• New “ultimate consistency” features for Power Graphs:
