MPVI4 Interface

MPVI4 includes the Pro Feature Set License, enabled using the ProLink+ cable. The below steps outline how to use the Standalone Data Logging feature on your MPVI4 device to easily record your vehicles data on the go with a press of a button or pre-start/stop triggers without being tethered to your laptop.

  1. Open VCM Scanner Beta, download the latest version of VCM Scanner Beta here.

  2. Connect your MPVI4 to your vehicles OBDII port.

  3. Using the USB cable, connect your cable to the MPVI4 and your laptop.

  4. Click Vehicle > MPVI4 Features, when the MPVI4 Features window appears click the Start/Stop Triggers tab.

  5. Adjust your start and stop triggers that will enable your standalone data logging, once adjusted to your preferred settings click Send Triggers Settings To Interface.

    Note

    • Standalone Data Logging will only begin to collect data when the USB and bluetooth are disconnected and not being used by VCM Suite or TrackAddict.
    • The MPVI4 must be connected via your vehicles OBD port and power must be detected as well.
    • Five buttons are available: Disabled, User Initiated, Street Car, Race Car, and Always. Selecting one auto-populates relevant fields to help you get started.
    • Under Start Triggers, you can enter either an instantaneous or sustained acceleration value. Instantaneous acceleration starts logging as soon as the threshold is reached. Sustained acceleration requires a duration for which the value must be exceeded (e.g., 0.05 G for 1 second).

  6. If Data Logging is set to trigger via short press, press the button on the MPVI4 to initiate a log.

    Note

    If your start trigger is event-based (time, acceleration, or RPM), operate the vehicle until it reaches the configured value.

  7. The stat light on the face of the MPVI4 will illuminate amber indicating Data Logging has initiated.

  8. When you are done collecting data press the button or operate the vehicle until it reaches the configured stop value.

    Note

    • If you connect to VCM Suite or TrackAddict while Standalone Data Logging is running, the software will turn off and stop recording.
    • If there is no movement and zero RPM for 1 minute, data logging will stop automatically.
    • If the MPVI4 is unplugged during Data Logging, data will be lost.

  9. Connect to VCM Scanner Beta and view the Data Logs you just collected.

    Note

    • To view your Data Logs, connect your MPVI4 device to your vehicles OBDII port and connect to your laptop via USB cable. Click Vehicle > MPVI4 Features > Log Files.
    • If you are still not able to collect data, please create a support ticket.
