Help getting Dashware to use data file
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2019 8:12 pm
I've been trying to upload a log/.csv file to DashWare, and it isn't going through. I suspect it has something to do with the time/date data. That's because I get error messages something to that affect. I've done the best I can to set up the .csv file as directed in the link from the Autosports Labs info page for use with DashWare, although some of those instructions are a bit sketchy, so I might not have gotten it done quite right. From what I understand, one of the things I have to do is to convert the Unix time to local time. It took a bit of digging, but I was finally able to find a good way to do that, and the result appears to be perfectly accurate to the date, time, and seconds to the millisecond.
I've already spent at least 2 to 3 hours trying to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll be happy to send you a copy of the data file. I would imagine it will be an easy fix, if you know what it's supposed to be, which I apparently don't. I tried contacting support at DashWare, and their site says they don't offer any support, to contact GoPro for support. I contacted GoPro, and they tried to help me, but it seemed obvious they didn't know what they were doing, and then they told me that they aren't supposed to offer support for DashWare anymore, that it's an obsolete program.
The Dashware's capabilities was a definite part of why I opted to go with the MK3 instead of other competing data loggers. I'm now using RaceRender, but it doesn't seem to have as much capabilities as DashWare.
I love how simple the direct upload of the log file is for RaceRender, but I would like the capabilities of DashWare - particularly how it displays the tire temperatures from Izze Racing. If you have any other programs that will work like DashWare in that respect, I would be happy to try that - especially if it's as easy to load the data as RaceRender is. Otherwise, if you can help me fix the upload problem with DashWare, that would be great. I'll post below, a small section of the CSV, in case that will help you. I did this in Excel, and saved it as a CSV, and copied it from that spreadsheet to this page, and inserted the commas manually (as well as spaces to try to line columns up) for this post. Again, I'll be happy to send you a copy of the .csv file if that will help.
Thanks,
