romraider ecu data logging issue

I'm tryin to do a datd log pull n I have it set up for the rear defogger switch n I already picked my output file location. My issue is that when I do a pull n try to open it up in open office its not there. Do I have to save it once I open the file location? What am I doing wrong?

try to open it up in open office its not there. Do I have to save it once I open the file location? What am I doing wrong?

 

How are you opening the file if it's not there?

 

No saving necessary, the file is created when you press the defogger switch and ready for use when you turn off the defogger.

Well when I pick the file location I open it up n I do the pull. After words I try opening it up in open office. There's no data log from that day. I just sat here n tired it again witout having hooked up to car using log to file button n it worked, it saved it. The thing is I have the defogger switch on so I don't have to use the laptop to record.

Does you get log files when you use other means of starting/stopping the logger?

 

What year and model of car do you have?

If use the log to file button it records n saves it. But not wit rear defogger switch. Have an 05 legacy

Sounds like you do not have the defog switch setup to log.

 

In the first image it is not set and below you can see it is.

It is setup for defogger switch

So the file is there, but it isn't showing when you try to open it from Open Office? Not totally familiar with Open Office, but in MS office I always have to select all files under file types before I can see csv files. I suspect Open Office my be similar. Too bad I don't have my test box set up.

I guess its like that. I'm goin to try to do a pull with clicking the button

You're using this button right?

Yes I'm using that button,

You're using this button right?

 

So its the rear defogger switch, I was curious which one it was. Thanks!
