Hi Matt, having a play with histograms this afternoon & didn't have a suitable log file created with 2.10 to use the trace function so I've opened a couple of 1.25 logs. I've found it appears to update the file & it increases in file size. After this happens, it's no longer able to be opened in 1.25. It also distorts some of the values eg temps. If a workshop were to need to review a previous log created in 1.25 to confirm/prove what was logged whilst tuning, their log would be lost or invalid due to values displayed.

Some examples where the temps are skewed when a 1.25 file is opened in 2.10. Changing units only makes the extreme temps even more extreme.

I opened a histogram and it showed the correct values for afr/dlp1 for a while then showed incorrect ones, lean. It was fine in the datalog, so just the numbers weren't lining up between them.

Hi Bill. Thanks for the report. We have now fixed these issues with the latest beta version. With 1.25 files these are now upgraded to a backups folder and loaded from there (so you can still use the original file with 1.25 later on). Also we fixed up an issue with unit conversion which affected the temperatures when displaying in the 2.10 beta

Thanks Matt. I'd noticed that the temps were now displaying correctly & there was a new backups folder. Great work guys!!

Hi Matt 

anyone else had slow update from the new betas logger, i have been using it over the last 3 days and found it to be slow updating, freezing during a log, I am going to install the software on my second pc to rule it out as an issue but in the previous release it worked like a dream.

Yip. 

Will install it shortly and do some logging on another pc it is almost identical to this one but slightly newer, I have had an issue with this pc using 1.25 as well but it was sorted a few months back and I never had the issue on my older pc when trialing it with kirby so may be the pc, Ill report back with the results.
