.CSV file format change?
« on: March 15, 2024, 01:10:34 AM »
Here I am again servicing my 2014 R1200RTW and running the tests using the GS911. I have been doing this for nearly ten years and every time there is a new version of the software/firmware that has to be downloaded and every time there's a new surprise.
I always record about 5 mins of data to check if anything has changed. I figured out how to send a .CSV file link to my email last year but now the format of the .CSV file has changed.  Here's how they used to look:

3538;14.3;67.6;109.2;72.8;0;0;0;14.6;72.5;1192;1205;600;95;765;N;1;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;51.96;0;0;1;0;0;9;1.82;2.35;2.3;0.9;0.87;1;1;1;1;0;2.69;0
4966;14.6;67.6;109.8;72.9;0;0;0;14.6;72.4;1163;1204;590;717;107;N;1;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;51.96;0;0;1;0;0;9;1.78;2.47;2.47;0.9;0.9;1;1;1;1;0;2.76;0
6398;14.3;67.6;110.5;72.9;0;0;0;14.6;72.5;1219;1203;593;202;353;N;1;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;51.96;0;0;1;0;0;8.25;1.82;2.3;2.34;0.88;0.9;1;1;1;1;0;2.76;0

Pretty standard stuff and easy to open and graph in Excel

Here's how the latest ones look:

2196;12.40
2263;;86.6;137.1;119.8
2333;;;;;0.0;0.0;0.0
2385;;;;;;;;14.5;83.6
2453;;;;;;;;;;0;0;0
2613;;;;;;;;;;;;;481.0;483.0
2663;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;N
2733;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;0;0;0;0;0;1;0
2803;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;0
2855;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;1
2903;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;0
2955;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;10.00;0

Any idea whats going on?

Hi Geoff,

Seems the number of parameters logged changed with every write instance. Not sure whether it's as a result of parameters selected? Sure strange.

I think the first, leftmost is the time in ms, which seems right.

I also log data (all selected) to check at my leisure later.

Have you tried the LiveGraph free software?

I use it and find it much easier to chart data than Excel. Not direct the answer to the question you asked... but perhaps you can consider. Good luck.

I used LiveGraph to keep an eye on Fuel trims or when diagnosing glitches.

Downloaded .csv file this morning and found exactly the same changed format as above. Seems the format changed with updated versions of the GS-911 software.

Anybody have a solution for this. I realise customising the TFT screens are the craze nowadays. But to those still using live data analysis charting for diagnostic purposes, how do you do it now?

Suggestions from Hex fundi's?
