Had a bit of time on my hands today and finally found a Mac OSX program that goes at least part of the way to providing a means of plotting data from record functions of the Nanocom.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clic...1161'mt=12
The downside is that you'll need to do a bit of text processing before the Nanocom csv files are usable.
Open up the csv file with TextEdit:
1. Remove the first two lines - one with the module name and the following blank line.
2. Use Find > Find to change the delimiter. Click the replace check box, enter ";" in the top line, "," in the second line (both without the quotes) then click All.
3. The program doesn't seem to like parenthesis in labels so these need to be removed. If you are looking at fuelling files this edited version can be used to replace the first line:
Code:
ENGINE SPEED,ROAD SPEED,Idle speed error,ACCEL. TRACK1,ACCEL. TRACK2,ACCEL. TRACK3,ACC SUPPLY,BATTERY VOLT.,AIR FLOW,AMBIENT PRESSURE,TURBO PRESSURE,AIR INLET TEMP.,COOLANT TEMP,FUEL TEMP.,EGR Inlet,EGR mod.,Wastegate,CYL. 1,CYL. 2,CYL. 3,CYL. 4,CYL. 5
If you are looking at any other file you'll need to clean up yourself. I'd suggest keeping a file with the cleaned headers if you intend using this app more than once!
Once you have the file prepared open up ClickPlot and from the file menu open your csv file.
You should see the name in the File List window. Click on the filename and you should see the column headers appear in the Data Series Selection window.
In the X column click next to Row Number.
Once this is done you can simply highlight the name of the item you wish to graph.
The program also allows you to create calculated columns. It's slightly clumsy as you need to use the internal number of the data series. The row number column is C0 and the following columns numbered in sequence. Even so it's particularly handy if you want to see the absolute boost pressure. By creating a column "C11-C10" which on the Nanocom Fuelling files subtracts ambient pressure from manifold pressure you can easily do this.
Using an app like ClickPlot opens up visualising data from other modules. One that could be useful is the AutoBox data:
Much of the data in the autobox recording is on/off or closed/open which can't be graphed. Using search and replace to change these to 1 and 0 as required makes it possible to graph the operation of autobox solenoids for example.
It would be nice to be able to automate the processing of the data files, but that is a project for another day.
