Very large datalog

Hi,

I've noticed sometimes when doing datalog the size of the log file is huge.
Usually when dataloging 20-25 min the size of the log is ~ 2-4 Megabytes.
But yesterday I made a longer datalog for 45min and the resulted log file was abnormally high like 400 Megabytes.
It happened to me twice out of 100 datalogs.
I put a datalog like this here (is a zip archived): https://www.dropbox.com/s/8o4ovdf553hxr ... g.zip?dl=0
The log was made with the Flashpro unit only (not with the laptop) with the default fast settings.

Do you guys have encountered such issue?

I have the Bluetooth Flashpro unit.

Normally FlashProManager compresses datalogs. However, once the datalogs reach a certain size (around 400 MB), Windows does not have enough memory to compress the datalog so the datalog is saved uncompressed. That's why you see a big jump in size.

so is there a way to compress it? - my tuner (VitViper) only allows 50mb uploads (ill see what he can do at the moment to receive it) - but I've done it twice now with 20-25 min drives and file size is 408,469kb compared to a similar upload (last week) 20-min drive but was only 4,376kb?

also before uploading and data logging this tune - I did update FP Manager

Yes I can confirm this too!
If the datalog is bigger then 22 or 24 minutes it will be saved without compression.
FYI I have 8gb of ram in my windows 10 surface4 and 5 or 4gb are free ...

Few Version ago I could record 35minutes including compression

yeah same here - I could easily do 25 mins of aggressive driving and have the file compressed automatically

seems like I'm going to have to roll back my version or something

I did two datalogs 1-23mins , 1-15mins - all came in huge and uncompressed - so.....yeah

before update to 2.9.0.0 I could easily do 25 mins of aggressive driving and have the file compressed automatically

same pc throughout tuning process - i5, 16/gb-ram, win10

is there anything I can try - (2.9.1.1) just hit so i'll maybe try to re-log again and see what happens - but Vit' can't accept my tune at all when uncompressed.

thank you in advance

If you are using a 64bit version of Windows, try this:

Right click on the shortcut you are using to launch FlashPro manager, and click properties, then under target, change "FlashProManager.exe" to "FlashProManager64.exe".

I have already try this, but it makes no differences in the size of the datalogs!

I am also having this issue. I'm also being tuned by VIT and usually can do a 20-25min drive no problem however it won't compress now and can't send him my datalogs anymore

See my post from 2015. Windows only can use around 3 GB of memory, no matter how much is actually installed, so it will run out when saving the datalog. As more sensors are added for 2016 vehicles the length of datalog has decreased before the threshold is reached.
We'll try to tweak the setting for the next release.

Flashpro Datalog Upload Issue

I believe their is a flashpro glitch that is saving data logs as large files unable to be sent via email. It’s turning logs that are usually 3k kb in size to 320k kb. The datalogs are showing the “normal” data size in the datalog window of Flashpro, however once they are downloaded to the computer, the size of the file increases in size. I’ve re done a calibration and shortened the log and it still saves as a large file

Is this fixed yet? If not how do I revert back to an older rev that works?

If you download the beta version this should be fixed.

Hi,

Yesterday I had updated the firmware on FlashPro Manager and Flashpro to 3.0.1.0. Now it's not compressing my files and leave me with a huge datalog that Im unable to upload. I had did a similar log the previous day before the update and everything was fine and uploaded and saved fine. How can I compress my file to be able to send to Vit?
