Big datazap update! Gauges, Playback, Save Layouts!
 

It's been a little while since the last Datazap update - I was busy doing adult things like getting married and such... but that being said I've also been working on some cool new datazap things. Let's start with the new chart page features:

Gauge View
First, I added a new gauge view. It's a nice way to visualize a lot of data without muddying up the chart. To use it just click the "Gauge View" button, then choose up to 10 data channels to display as a gauge. As you mouse over the chart the gauges update live.

Log Playback
Next, I added a new playback feature. Click the "Play" button and whatever you have in view on the chart will play back to you. If you have any gauges active those will update throughout the playback as well.

Saved Layouts
And last but definitely not least... the thing that's been requested the most... you can now save your layouts so you don't have to manually turn on the same specific data channels every time you load up a chart. To use this, just set up a chart as you like - this includes the normal chart, individual axis, and gauges. Then click the "Layout" dropdown button, and choose "Save Current Layout". You'll be brought to a new page where you name it, then returned to where you left off. From then on you can select that layout by clicking the "Layout" dropdown button and selecting your saved layout. You can save as many different layouts as you want, and access them all from that menu.

I've also changed up the profile page a little bit. I cleaned things up with a tabs, and this is also where you can now edit/delete your saved chart layouts. You'll also notice a little update/news box above the tabs. I thought it would be a good idea to be able to notify you of any potential site downtime/updates/etc.

Oh, also... DashCommand CSV logs are now supported! Just make sure you export it as a CSV instead of their LGF format.

Awesome! I have a small suggestion for future improvement after seeing logs from another user. Either ability to sort on a channel, or specify the time channel on upload and have it automatically sort on that ascending. Not sure how, but the logs I saw were sorted on RPM ascending or descending before uploading, so it's a mess to look at. The issue definitely wasn't caused by datazap, just a thought on a future improvement.

Interesting, i've never seen that before. What type of log was it? I can add something in that automatically does it for that type of log

any plans to integrate a video upload/sync feature too? that would be the tits

This is an awesome tool! Works perfectly with my data logs.

There already is the ability to include a youtube link when you post a log, when you do this the video will show down below the chart in the details section. That's probably about as far as I'll take it since really there's no good way to have it perfectly in sync with the log

It could be done, but it wouldn't be perfectly exact. It would rely completely on the user having a video that is edited so it begins right when the log begins. I don't think enough people would use it really. I'll keep it on the back burner though

I'd be all over that. Anyone with basic video editing software and knowledge would be able to make it sync

Fantastic work jpsimon!
