VAG-COM Plotting Software

[jollyGreenGiant]

Thanks, glad that you folks dig it and are getting some use out of it.

 

[Got Bearings?]

Is this not available anymore?

 

[jollyGreenGiant]

Eh, I guess the isp for that old domain finally caught on that I wasn't a customer... My neighbor who used to work there setup the account for me. Oh well.

I'll post up some new coordinates for the files in the near future...

 

[Sip'n Diesel]

if anyone would like the setup.exe file, I think I still have it and could send it as an e-mail attachment while we wait for new coordinates

 

[jollyGreenGiant]

Same build as before, no updates... Busy, you know? New coordinates posted in the first post. We'll see how this works hosted here, let me know if anyone has problems with it.

thanks! as it turned out, I had deleted the setup.exe file and e-mailing the program.exe does not work

downloaded the program, extracted it to a folder, and got this.

any ideas?

how do i check for the .net stuff?

 

[Growler]

nevermind, downloaded and installed .net 2.0 and it works great!

Thanks!

Just stumbled across this, thought I say thanks! Nice to be able to quickly show a customer the logs of their car without having to use Excel.

 

[Growler]

I agree. this software is awesome

This should be a sticky! I couldn't believe how bad excel sucks with plotting the .csv file. Great work on your program, you just saved me a major headache.

I made a few upgrades to this application.
The new current version is now 1.1.3519.25607

1. I had several logs open at times and figuring out which one was which got confusing, I solved this by now modifying the window title to display the filename so alt-tabbing ( or however you decide to choose the instance you want ) will be easier if you know what filename you're looking for.

2. The filename is also now displayed in each tabs text box for printing and archival sake when using the image.

3. I created a menu item to either enable or disable the plots "smoothing" feature, there's a lot going on under the hood there and rather than implement some crazy polynomial or logarithmic averaging on the data points, for those who can't stand averaging induced flaws, you can just disable that feature and enjoy the jagged raw appearance

Enjoy. If you find this application useful, make a donation to Fred's on my behalf

 

[Growler]

how about adding a zoom in function by % in the right click menu?

 

[jollyGreenGiant]

You do know that you can either (mouse equipped) use the scroll wheel or (touchpad) scroll zone to zoom in and out real-time, right?

Also, if you just draw a rectangle around what you want it will zoom to just that rectangle.

I think that if one were to choose a %, they would only be guessing what they wanted and then would have to fine tune it anyways...

Wow! Can't believe I missed this prog until now. Thanx JGG!

just when I thought it couldn't get any better

thanks for taking the time and effort to do this, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Giant, just found/used your software. You've got skills!

 

[kooyajerms]

Bump, more people need to use this =)

 

[Growler]

I LOVE this program.. its AWESOME for checking and showing quick graphs to my customers.

 

[kooyajerms]

bump to the moon

Will Program work on a Mac?

Before I download, any chance this program will work on an Apple Mac?

 

[kooyajerms]

niet, had to use vmware to run it. Don't you need vmware for vcds? (I've got an old vag com)

 

[rocketeer928]

Yes, either VMWare Fusion with slow-down-my-Mac-to-a-crawl-Windows or I use my work computer. My thought was to log using my work PC and then doing the plotting with software on my superior MacBook Pro. But, I guess I was dreaming.

Not spending anytime behind an Apple OS in years I can't say if it'll work or not but you could try Mono which is a .NET framework for Apple OS. That would be for display purposes only of course. This app is using System.Drawing namespace heavily which should all be covered in Mono, I think they're pretty current with .NET 2.0 and even up into 3.0 and 3.5 classes.

Try it and report back...

interesting, my vmware and windows xp on my macbook has proven to be much faster than my compaq presario laptop running soley windows.

 

[dorcky]

This is GREAT! This is very useful soft!!!
Thank you!

 

[algirdas]

Awesome!

Thank you for this program!
Just spent the morning learning how to effectively log my TDI.
This app allowed me to QUICKLY figure out how to make the best logs since I could instantly look at the logs. Between this viewer and VCDS I can wrap my brain around the ECU's functions.

Stand-up guy that algirdas, I got compensation for this application for the first time

...watch out Microsoft I'm gonna blow up in a couple months

Anyone interested in a web-based version of this?

I'm all about web-based software.....bring it on!

This app is awesome. I noticed that my plots also plot the time column as a separate series in the plot, instead of using the time for the x-axis of the column, like this:

Is it possible to modify the application to use the time column for the x axis? If the source code was available, I'd be happy to have a go at making the changes.
