if you had a program that could directly open a winALDL log, and do whatever you want.. what would you want it to do?


would you want it to have a real time playback?

graphing functions? if so what kind? be specific.

what would you want it to do? what would be useful to YOU?



being a bored computer programmer, i wrote a simple program that opens the ALDL log and plays it back in real time... so i can watch the lil speedo move and act just like it did on my drive to work yesterday.... cute, but pretty useless.


i might as well make something useful out of it... like some kind of program that opens a winALDL log and lets you analize it easier then a spreadsheet lets you....



i just need ideas...

 

graphing options would be ok, but the biggest hurdle is the 160baud speed. i want to do the lockers, but for just a hobbiest electronics person that is quite a project, especialy since it needs a scope (according to the directions)

 

lockers???


i can do graphing.. thats not a problem..... knowing what to graph and how to show it is what id like to know..


as for the baud speed.. yea it kinda sucks.. i can avg numbers and get middle points made up.... but thats not the most accurate way to do it......

 

Need a scope? What? *glances at the scope sitting 4 feet east of himself..*

 

Panalyzer is a free prog for analysing winALDL data logs.

if i remember correctly i got a link to it from "his highness" Craig Moates web site.

 

well, i did a search but i couldnt find anythign on that program....



btw, you guys can stop sending me ALDL logs, my inbox is stuffed full of em... thanks

It's on moates.net's link bar

 

I spent a little time playing with Panalyze and it gets a definite thumbs down from me.. it works, but damn it sucks. There's a definite need for something superior, MrDude

 

i downloaded it this morning, but i havent gotten a chance to look at it yet... my day comes and goes, some days (like today) i only get 3 or 4 mins free at a time.... other times, i have a couple hours... and thats when im writing the software...

i'll look into it, if nothing else, it should spark some ideas.
