This section of MG Flasher allows you to log real time data and plot them into graphs for troubleshooting and optimizing. Logger is additional function available in MG Flasher. You can get Logger as additional product once Flashing license is already activated. |
Usage
Please connect your car to the MG Flasher using Connect button.
After the successful connection press Open Car button.
You should see the page with available Logger button.
Creating a Log
The log should consist of a full acceleration drive at WOT (wide open throttle) across a large rpm range in a gear that is closely matching the engines output shaft rotational speed. To do this:
(Optional) It is recommended to attach your phone to the window or similar location using a holder for easy access to start/stop logging if need be.
Align the car on a long straight path.
Put the vehicle in Sport+ mode, with the shifter on the left (you will need to manually shift).
Slowly drive the vehicle until you reach 4th gear just under 2000 rpm and stabilize your speed.
Press start button 2-3 seconds before WOT (wide open throttle) to begin logging. You can start logging early and end well after the pull to ensure the full acceleration period is recorded. Optionally, press Auto button to enable automatic logging.
Enter full acceleration with WOT (wide open throttle) from 2000 rpm up until 6200-6800 rpm (if possible).
Press stop button to end log. When Auto enabled, logger will stop recording and resume when pedal is pressed WOT again.
Repeat the process in 3rd gear at 2000 rpm with a manual shift to 4th gear at 6000 rpm or higher.
This should give you two logs, 4th gear WOT and 3rd-4th gear WOT with shifting.
Automatic logging, as opposed to manually starting/stopping the logging session, is up to your preference. Logging is typically used to see how a vehicle is performing or to find problems with mechanics/software.
Features
Auto logging function – when you press “Auto ON” logger will automatically start logging while you press the accelerator pedal rapidly and stop logging when the pedal is released for longer than 2 seconds.
Adjusting the measured parameters can be done in Log parameters page.
Adjusting the displayed gauges can be done in the Display config page. Options Include:
Which Gauges are visible
Type of Gauge
Size of Gauge
Scale Ratio of Gauge
Auto Fitting to Gauge Dashboard
Allows to log MASTER and SLAVE ECU module if dual ECUs are present in the car.
Exporting created files to one of our destinations: MG Flasher Logs Cloud, Spoolstreet and of course.
Dynamic Gauge Dashboard that allows for moving, resizing and changing the Gauge Type.
Single measurement time decreased up to 2x times in comparison to our previous logger solution.
| Note |
|---|
The Logger has separate configurations for measured parameters and displayed parameters in the UI. You can control the behaviors by pressing the Context Options button and choosing from options: Go to logged parameters and Go to display settings. Adding a new measured parameter in Log Parameters will not add this parameter to the Gauge Dashboard automatically. After adding the measured parameter you must also setup the visibility in Display config too if you want to observe them in the dashboard. Logger units configuration is applied for both configs immediately. |

The Gauges are shown here on the main page, our many display configuration settings allow for unlimited customization of the interface. The simplest way to adjust a given gauge is to touch & hold selected item to move it to another place once the dashboard have been unlocked.
