Printing Map.cfg files

[Lynton]

Does anyone know if its possible to print off the map files. It would be very usefull to be able to have a paper copy of the map for discusions and visits to the rolling road etc.
I found a file on here that is supposed to convert a standard map file to a CSV file for viewing and printing in Excell, But unfortunately it doesnt seem to work, this is possibly due to it being a older Window program. Any help appreciated.

You can open them in Notepad and print them off, although you have to know how to interpret them - open the same file with the Configurator and you'll be able to see how to do the interpretation.

Alternatively, just open the file in the Configurator and take a 'screen dump' using either:
- the PrtScreen button on your key board and paste it into a graphics program eg Paint
- using a screen grabber program like MW Snap 3 (freeware) from http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html

Oh that program you mentioned works, to learn how to use it, read the "MJ_CSV Use.txt" file. Another thing you need to know is how to graph the results in Excel.

Try this...

...nice one - even nicer if it did ALL the parameters - programmable output types and values etc

[JamesC]

Thanks Martin - I actually updated it after I posted the link - does everything now.

[MartinM]

Even nicer

Just multiply the RPM bins by 100 and the programmable output rpms by 100 and you're there!

I trust your comments were meant to be helpfull, and we are talking about the same program MJ-CSV. Below is a copy of the MJ_CSV use.txt file

Hi All

This app is very simple and converts from MegaJoltLiteJr config files into a nice easy CSV format file to load into excel to do 3d graphs etc.

Usage:

MJ_CSV.exe expects a file called input.cfg to be in the same directory as itself, and will output to a file called output.csv


Thats's it!

Hope its of use,
__________________________________________________________________________________________

The program allready comes with an example file called input.cfg and if you run the application it creates a file called output.csv I have no problem with that.
To try to convert an existing map file i renamed the example files Tempinput.cfg and tempoutput.csv.
I then renamed the map file i wanted converted to input.cfg and tried to run the application. I then get the error
Run time Error "5"
invalid procedure call or argument

I have no problem in graphing results in Excell, once i get a csv file

It should do the outputs - but not the RPM bins...

Am not 100% sure that I have the programmable outputs in the right "mode"

Works just fine, the prove is above. You are not using the program correctly, nor you are following the instructions in MJ_CVS use.txt. No need to post it here, we are talking about the same program.

The error you mentioned is given when the user supplies a file in format other than .CFG.. There is your problem. What is a .CFG file? It's Java properties file format, used by Java Tuner. That example input.cfg you can open in Notepad and read it, it's a text file. The file you're supplying is of different format.

[Lynton]

I have no doubt the file conversion works on your pc but it doesnt work here. The map file im using loads fine into the MJ-junior tuner, and loads to the megajolt and runs ok. If as you say im not using it correct then why does it convert the example file.
