Default Argghh!!! Log didn't save??!

So, is there a secret to getting a long log to save on the PT? I first played with it this morning and it saved the quick "test" of me slapping the space bar a couple times, but not my 25 minute drive.

Once I realized this, I fired it up and it scanned and recorded for over a minute just fine while I was sitting back home. Even saved it too. So maybe my log was too long? Any recommended settings?

Yes, there are recommended settings. I cant recall them all offhand. But I know it is recommended to scan to external csv. This will create the log in the Log folder in the PT directory. And I have scanned for over an hour and it saved without a problem. But every now and then, I do run into a problem with my logs not having the right info, or missing sections. Just part of the game I suppose.

Oh, but one thing I do know is that you need to shut down the PT program before you can access the log when saving to external csv.

But the recommended settings are in a post on the PT website. I will see if I can find them.

Much appreciated! I've got the opportunity to scan again later today, so I'll see how it does.
