Datalog viewer development/preview

This is the beginnings of the datalog viewer which will be part of the E6 tuning software. The datalog format being used is a new format I have come up with, which allows the datalogs to be viewed correctly without any ECU (or any other device) information external to the datalog itself. (unlike the haltech datalogs which need you to load the ECU data to calibrate the values, like TPS etc).

These are photos taken of the software running in 1024x768, full screen. When the key is visible, any labels whos ID #'s have []'s around them are invisible/turned off by the user (me). All data can be visible at once but it begins to get a bit cluttered with everything on screen. To turn the streams on/off you simply type the # of the ID (found in the key) and hit enter, to toggle that fields visibility. There are also hot keys to turn all streams on/off. There is also a key (K) you can hit to toggle visibility of the key itself, so you can use the whole screen for viewing the data you are interested in.

The text at the bottom of the shots is the "Window" size in seconds (how many seconds of data to include in the screen's frame) and the "Offset" is basically the timestamp the far right of the screen is @ in the datalog. The timestamp will be in the form of a normal date in the future, it's just seconds.microseconds right now.

In the first image, you have WBo2, air temp, rpm, throttle position, coolant temp, volts, and ignition advance BTDC visible.

Key turned off/hidden (hit 'K'):

Key is back on screen (hit 'K' again), and I've told RPM to go away (4 ENTER):

RPM is back (4 ENTER), but coolant temperature and volts are gone(7 ENTER 8 ENTER ):

Key is gone again (hit 'K'):

FYI, this is a real datalog, of a FC3S RX-7 with a Haltech E6K and TechEdge 2a0 wbo2 controller, connected to a p100 laptop via 2 serial ports. The first spike of throttle is finishing off 1st gear to 8500rpm rev limit. The second long stab of the throttle is dragging 2nd to around 8300. Note the window of seconds mapped to the width of the screen/image is 13 seconds.
