Change the Logging Settings

The provided logging configuration in the Base Map will provide 5 to 15
minutes of logging. If you would like to increase this time, you need to reduce
the number of channels logged, or reduce the logging rate for the logged
channels.

To change the logging configuration

See the relevant Power Control Strategy section to ensure the M400
Marine ECU stays powered while downloading the data.

1. Connect the ECU to the PC. See Connecting the ECU to a PC.

2. Open ECU Manager software.

3. On the File menu, click Save As and choose a new file name.

This will save the changes you are going to make in a new file and
prevent accidentally overwriting the standard Base Map.
Tip: It is good practice to add an incrementing number to the file
name to keep track of the files you are creating.

4. On the File menu, click Edit Comments.

Tip: Filling in comments will help to identify the file when you refer to
it in the future.
