Exporting AEM Logs to Virtual Dyno Room
Ok do I just convert the aem log files to .csv and voila?
Jack of trades help me out here.
PS: Guys if you have not tried the VDR dyno simulator, check it out. Its actuall pretty accurate

When in AEMLog looking at the actual log file you want to use to graph, do "File" -> "Export as Text" to save it as a .txt file. I usual zoom into the actual area in AEMLog first just before full throttle and just after lifting to keep the data amount small. In the export options I choose "Current zoomed area" and you need to transfer over the Engine Speed parameters at minimum but I also do air temp, throttle (cause you only graph when at full throttle), and engine load. Once exported, drag and drop the .txt file into an empty excel spreadsheet. Finally, copy and past the log time and engine speed into the VDR and your good to go.

Mellon uses DLL... maybe thats another option...
How much different is the AEM log sample speed than evoscan...
I havn't had time yet

Mellon also uses the stock ecu
I cant remember off the top of my head it is with evoscan. The way i have my pc set up aem logs every .001 sec. So obviously im going to have a huge amount of data for a wot pull. Others have got this to work with aem.
I personally have tried that hard to get it to work. I am spoiled. I have access to a dyno

ya I hear that... I used to be spoiled. The closest AWD dyno is 50min away since our shop closed. There is 14 2wd dyno's in a 30 mile radius, so it pays to be able to tune all the hondas
I'm going to spend some time with it, and see what I can find out....

Are you using internal logging for it or PC logging? Try PC logging its not as detailed but still provides the information needed to get a graph drawn. Also make sure you are ONLY graphing the 100% throttle parts for a 3rd gear pull. I've heard 4th gear pulls do not work, I cannot confirm nor deny as I have never tried one.

Here is how I do it.
This assumes you are using an internal log file, if you are using the F6 version of the log file I think you can use a faster rate but try 10hz first.
1. Open AEM Log
2. Zoom up on your 3rd or 4th gear pull, go from the start of WOT and a little past REDLINE.
3. File -> Export as Text
3.1 Click Engine Speed, Engine Load, O2 #x, Throttle, click the > so that it shows up in Exported Channels
3.2 Export data range = Current zoom area
3.3 Export data as = Real
3.4 Restrict rate to 10hz/20hz both work
4. Click Export
5. Open VDR
6. Import Log
7. Enjoy

Heres a graph of a Supra I am tuning compared to my car. Both of us are on pump gas As you can see it has a boost spike and breaks traction so it shows up on the graph.

Be sure that on the DataLogEntry, under LogEntryS RPM make sure that you do not have any entries that go beyond REDLINE and that you have dont have any entries that go beyond 100% TPS.
Also be sure to adjust the Max RPM Trim back a little bit, maybe 50-100rpm before redline.
