What it does

The Datalog Preset feature on the Accessport allows a user to save the currently selected list of datalogging monitors so that they can be quickly loaded again in the future. This feature also integrates with Accessport Manager to allow sharing of Datalog Preset files to aid in remote diagnostics as well as customizing the Datalog Preset file's details.

Save Current List of Monitors

Select "Gauges".
Once in "Gauges," use the up button to select Setup and press enter.
From "Setup," select "Configure Datalogging."
Select the desired monitors as normal, and then scroll all the way up to the top of the list, then one more click to get to the Setup menu.
Now select the Save a Datalog Preset option. You will receive a success screen telling you the automatically assigned name of the datalog preset file.

Loading a List of Datalog Monitors:

Once a set of Datalog monitors has been saved, you can then quickly reload this list from the Setup menu.

Select "Gauges".
Once in "Gauges," use the up button to select Setup and press enter.
From "Setup," select "Configure Datalogging."
Select the option Load a Datalog Preset
You will be presented with a list of all the valid datalog presets that exist on the Accessport. Select the desired list to load from the menu by selecting it and pressing the enter button.
All valid monitors in the preset file have now been selected! Start datalogging!

Datalog preset files are not vehicle specific! What this means is that if your datalog preset file contains a monitor that your current vehicle or vehicle variant (MAF, SD, CCF, etc.) doesn't have, then those missing monitors will not be selected or added to the list. Only the currently valid monitors will be selected.

Copying a Datalog Preset from your Accessport:

Once a datalog preset already exists on your Accessport, connect the Accessport to Accessport Manager and select the Datalog Presets filter on the Manager tab.
Select the datalog preset to save, and then press the save button on the right to save the file to your computer (see highlighted button in red below).
You can now share the datalog preset or customize it.

Customizing a Datalog Preset file (for Advanced Users):

Once downloaded to your PC, open the datalog preset file in your favorite text editor. It will look as follows.
You can now edit any of the fields in the preset file by changing the text after the "=" on each line.
Preset_Name - This is the name the Accessport will display in the preset list.
Preset_Description - The text that's displayed under the name on the AP you can utilize to further describe your preset file.
log_mon_list - monitors the preset file will select. You can manually edit this comma separated list to add and remove monitors from your preset file.

Copying a Preset back to your Accessport and Loading It:

You can also use Accessport Manager to copy a datalog preset file or a customized datalog preset file that is on your PC back to your Accessport. This is done in the same way other files are transferred to the AP.

Connect the Accessport to Accessport Manager and select the Import file(s) to Accessport button (see highlighted button in red below).
Locate the file on your PC and press the "Open" button to add the file to your Accessport. It will now show up in the file list.
The datalog preset will now be available to load on the Accessport.

Pro-tip: A long hold of the Enter button will display the filename of the selected datalog preset list.
