How to access ini files to set up Transducer ?

[ikle]

I am trying to setup a transducer to log fuel pressure, I did a search and read you have to make changes to the ini file. How do you access this ? Thanks, Kyle.

Use your windows explorer, navigate to the PLC folder, the file will be in there called plc.ini
Open it in Windows Wordpad. Make your changes, then save the file.

Dave I navigated to the PLC folder and there is nothing called plc.ini. Just Drivers, FlashPL20, installation guide.pdf, PLO2d.s 19, PLO2g.s 19, pl analog 1.pdf, PLC (application), PLC (configuration), PowerLogger Drivers, PowerLogger Manual (PDF file), PowerLogger Manual ( Internet shortcut) and ScanMaster update.Thanks,Kyle.

You have to open PLC first, then once you close it the .ini file will be generated.

I missed this the first time I read your list, you said PLC (configuration),
that is the .ini file.

Correct me if I am wrong, I open up the PLC configuration then go to File, New, copy paste new info then Save or Save As ? Thanks for your help, Kyle.

Open the .ini file in a text editor. Try double clicking it, the file type may already be associated with notepad or something similar and open in a text editor already. When it opens it will be a series of instructions, the instructions automatically are written to the .ini file to save your preferences in PLC whenever you close the program. For example, you have certain graphs that you like to use, if you close PLC with those graphs selected then the next time you open PLC those graphs will already be selected since PLC will refer to the .ini file the next time it runs.

So you will scroll down to the analog set of instructions in the .ini and enter the specifics for your transducer (I give mine a unique name so I can find it later). Click on file, save, then close the .ini file. Open PLC then select your analog gauge (here is where the specific name comes in handy) in the file/config setup page in PLC.

Ok thanks I'll give it a try. Thanks again, Kyle.

Thanks guys, working now. It looks like my fuel pressure gauge I have mounted on the fuel rail is off by a couple of pounds when comparing to the PowerLogger. Thanks again, Kyle.
