Re: custom tunning
You do not require "SQL server management studio exp".
to view a log file (.xdl) in tunerpro 5, you need to also have the same ".adx" as the person who created the log.
The .xdl file has the raw data that was logged.
the .adx file defines what that raw data actually means.
As an example, let's download a log file.
Download "69mm TB Logs.zip" from here:
https://pcmhacking.net/forums/view ... 0&start=30
next we need to get an ".adx" to suit this log;
in this example we are dealing with a log file created by The1, the car is a VS v6 so we will need to go here:
https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29
Scroll down till you find this, and then download it :
Unzip both of the files we have downloaded.
Open Tunerpro.
Under the "aquisition" menu, select "Load Definition file"
browse to the location where you unzipped the files you downloaded and then select the one called:
"Vs V6 engine and trans 1.07-tp5.adx"
Under the "aquisition" menu again, select "Load Log File..."
select one of the ".xdl" files, in this case there were two in the zip file; let's pick "work to home shift tweaking 3 TPS MOD.xdl".
once again under the "aquisition" menu select "show Dash" (or data lists, history tables etc.).
Now we're ready to play back the log file.
so, click the play button on the aquisition toolbar.

Re: custom tunning
thank you charlay86,i managed to get to that stage ,i can view the dash and a trace but the one thing i most wanted to look at is the spreadsheet of "normal mode force motor preasure"like the sample on his thread,is it possible that it's not part of the download,i can view everything else so i can not see any other explanation otherthan not part of the download,

Re: custom tunning
Thats not in the log, thats in the bin. You need the right bin, the right xdf, then open up the list of tables and pick it from there.
Have you read the FAQ? For lots of information and links to significant threads see here: http://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1396

Re: custom tunning
i need to ask just one more question ,charlay86 pointed out the two downloads above,if i did as he said and followed his steps above should i have the bin and xdf already or do i need to download these as well if i need to download them where do i download them from?
Re: custom tunning
The .xdf you need is down the bottom of this page:
https://pcmhacking.net/forums/view ... hp?f=7&t=5
I'm not sure if The1 posted his modified bin, but you can find a stock "CKUL" bin file on this page:
