Data logger for P01 and P59

[NSFW]

I want to do a lot more to this, but it basically works so I figure it's time to invite people to play with it.

Just unzip the attached zip file, run PcmLogger.exe, pick your device (it supports the same devices as PCM Hammer), pick a log profile (two are included), and click Start Logging.

Future features:

- faster logging
- support 4x (or at least give it a try)
- a list of parameters that you can pick from, so you won't have to edit the .profile files in notepad

The .profile files are in JSON format, which seemed like a good idea at the time... but it's rather cumbersome. Hopefully it's mostly self-explanatory if you keep a few things in mind:

The "Address" property is the PID. In the future I hope to support reading non-PID values directly from memory, hence the name Address.
DefineBy should probably stay 1 (unless you're working on reading from memory).
ByteCount depends... Look at the OBD2 PID lists to see which PIDs are 1-byte and which are 2-byte.
Each parameter group must have 6 bytes total. No more, no less.
The Conversion Expression needs to have an "x", and division slashes need to be escaped with a backslash. So for example "x/100" is written as "x\/100". That's the most annoying part.
I might change the format of the .profile files to be easier to work with in the future.

Source code is on GitHub, in the same repo as the reflash tool because they share a lot of code:

Improvements made so far:
- fixed bug in response parsing
- added buttons to choose and open the output directory

This is now included with PCM Hammer, so please get the latest release here:

OMG reading from a memory address will be HUGE! So excited for this!

Wow, can't wait to try it!! I know it's early in the development cycle but what plans do you have in the future for it?

Thank you for doing this!!!!

It works! Using the Allpro in Windows 10. Dumb question, how do you save the log?

[Gampy Profile]

I suspect
Right Click over the text
Select: Select All
Right Click over the selected text
Select: Copy

Then paste into your favorite text editor.

Copy and paste what?

I have nothing to log, I do not have the logger available at this moment, I am only going by his (NSFW) typical competent work. I may be wrong!

However, If you hover the mouse over the Text box where the Data is ("Requesting row" or "Intake Air Temperature") and Right Click it should give you a 'Context Menu', from that menu you can 'Select All' ... (Or copy if it's already selected)

[edit]
Tested, works as expected.

I should have said something about this...
Better yet, I should put something in the UI to say something about this...

You'll find log files in c:\users\USERNAME\
