1 OverviewLogWorks is a software application that interfaces with the Innovate Modular Tuning Systemproducts. It enables easy analysis and manipulation of engine data acquired by MTS componentsand also allows to view engine data in real-time on the on-screen virtual gauges.This manual describes the basics of data logging with the Innovate Modular Tuning System andhow to use the LogWorks 3.0 Program. In addition this manual shows how you can extend thecapabilities of the MTS with some basic electronic skills.1.1SpecificationsComputer RequirementsOperating SystemComputer speedRAMHard Disk spaceDisplayOtherWindows 98 or later600MHz Pentium 1 or fasterMin. 100 Mbyte more than recommended for theoperating systemMin. 100 Mbyte free spaceThousands of colors, 800 x 600 Min.1 free serial port or USB to serial adapterLogWorks 3 LimitsMax.

1.3Manual OverviewThis manual is divided into chapters and is to be used both as a tutorial on how to use LogWorksas well as a reference handbook for the LogWorks program.Chapter 1Is the Overview you are reading.Chapter 2Explains the basics of data logging, channels, sessions and logs and what files LogWorks uses.Chapter 3Deals with Starting up LogWorks and shows the initial view of the LogWorks Main Dashboard.Chapter 4Explains channel configuration in LogWorks in detail.Chapter 5Explains LogWorks gauges and their setup and manipulation.Chapter 6Explains the functions available in the LogWorks Main Dashboard.Chapter 7Explains how to deal with logs and sessions and explains the analyzing functions available in themain log windowChapter 8Explains the X-Y Plot view of data. This is a view of channel data plotted against another channel.Chapter 9Explains the 3D chart view of data. This is a view of channel data plotted or analyzed against twoother channels. For example air-fuel against RPM and MAP. This chapter is important for creatingfuel and spark tables.Chapter 10Explains the Math Engine in LogWorks used to mathematically analyze the data or create newmath channels.Chapter 11Describes the built-in formulas of LogWorks to be used with the math engine.Chapter 12Describes the Plug-in architecture to extend the functionality of LogWorks.Chapter 13Explains the unit conversion mechanism of LogWorks.Chapter 14Shows Tips and Tricks in using LogWorksChapter 15Shows how to interface to various sensors.Chapter 16Revision History-8-LogWorks3 Manual 1.01.doc
1.41.4.1LogWorks OverviewLogWorks Data ViewsThe LogWorks application is used to record, display and analyze engine or car data. Natively itprovides six different “views” of the data:1. Main DashboardThis view displays the current engine data (real-time data) in “gauges”. Similar to a car’sdashboard. The gauges are configurable in many ways. This view is active wheneverLogWorks receives engine data, whether the data is being logged or not.2. Time Trace Log ViewThis is the main view of a datalog. A datalog is a collection of engine data, sorted byrecording time. The data in the Time Trace Log View (Log Window) is shown graphicallyand can be analyzed in many ways. During recording with LogWorks this view is updatedautomatically as new data arrives.3. Playback ViewThis is a sub-view of the Time-Trace Log View when the log is played back. This view issimilar to the Main Dashboard View, but shows the recorded engine data in it’s timesequence when playing back.4. X-Y Plot ViewIn this View the logged engine data is shown in its dependency of another channel. Acommon example is to plot AFR as dependent on RPM. But any channel datacombination can be used. The X-Y Plot view also allows viewing and analyzing the datain different ways. This view is NOT automatically updated during recording.5. 3D Chart ViewIn this View the logged engine data is analyzed and shown in its dependency of two otherchannels. A common example is to show AFR data as dependent on RPM and engineload. But any channel combination can be used. This view sorts the engine data intodifferent fields. The spacing and number of field columns and rows is user adjustable so itfor example fits the spacing and number of how a fuel injection’s fuel tables are stored.This view i
