=Tips for using with USB drivers
- When logging by myself, I find it bet to put the laptop in the passenger seat with the screen facing the driver's seat.
- To limit distractions while driving, I like to do a few things before starting the car (with the key in the on position):
- Choose the group file that contains all variables I want to log
- Make sure the correct propery file is associated with the chosen group file
- Click "log this group" and place the mouse over the "start" button on the actual logging screen so I can simply click to being logging without looking in the direction of the laptop
- APR ECU Explorer and VAG-Com have a couple important differences worth noting:
- Unlike VAG-Com, ECU Explorer does not instantly begin to start logging once you click the "start" button. Allow 5-10 seconds for the data collection to begin. With the screen facing the driver's seat, you can easily recognize when ECUx has begun its data logging.
