Just letting you guys know, we are working on VDR v6.00 and it should automatically work with exported AEM logs without any copying/pasting. So it sounds like I should be recommending AEM users to log in 'PC logging' mode to work with VDR? How many lines has anyone seen in this mode during a 4th gear pull? VDR v6.00 was limited to only 600 lines of code but I can increase it if I need to.

If someone could PM me and send me an exported AEM .txt log file to check out, that's be great.

I need to know the column 'names' that AEM uses for the following:

TIME
RPM
TPS
TIMING
AFR
BOOST

That way VDR can look 'inside' the file and extract only the data VDR needs to work its magic without any need of copying/pasting by yourself.

Oh yeah, no more RPM trim requirements,plus it calculates HP/TQ from every row of data now,not just every 50 rpm As long as you logged your TPS, you dont need to be as finicky about exporting JUST the WOT section too, it has a TPS trim option that will only read the lines that were at WOT

Jack,

This is the first few lines of an exported log from an AEM Series 2, the only difference is "Ign Map" in Series 2 vs being called "Ign Timing" in Series 1, and "Ign Timing" in Series 2 is "Ign Timing #1" in Series 1 being after any trims (from knock etc.) it is the ACTUAL timing if my memory serves. I could double check if that is reversed but I am pretty sure thats the way it is...

Code:
       Time/s	     Air Temp	  Engine Load	 Engine Speed	      Ign Map	   Ign Timing	Injector Duty	        O2 #1	     Throttle

Ok cool, I will see if we can't set it up to look for one of the timing labels and if it doesn't find it, it will look for the other options AEM used. So when you export a text file of your log, you can get it to automatically save it as a .csv file?

It saves as a .txt file but I drag the text file to Excel and can save it if needed. If you can get it to parse the text file though that would rock saving that step completely. What I pasted is exactly how the text file looks when opened.

Should be able to get it to work as a .txt file.

Yes, v6.00 will be a full stand-alone version and will accept exported AEM EMS log files. Unfortunately, v6.00 is ready yet so you'll have to wait a bit longer :/

So i tried this method and got some slightly skewed numbers with a CF of .95 i'm reading about 20% higher than expected . Does anyone know there has to be a certain configuration on the AEM for loggin priority ?

Default values work. Export as text on current zoomed area from 100% tps to 100% . Other than that, idk. Look for a spike in the graph, or shorten up the rpm slider and see if it changes...
