1) Engine Log Book Pro Bug Fixed  Our Engine Log Book Pro v1.1 C has several advanced features, including the ability to change the layout of the program.  You can hide, or change the name of some inputs, and change the maximum and minimum limits for some inputs.  Unfortunately, we've just uncovered a bug where the inputs could get corrupted if you modified the program layout.  And, this bug was also present in some versions of the older v1.1 B.  We have now corrected these bugs in both versions.  We have also put in some enhancements for better printouts in all Engine Log Book programs, Standard, Plus and Pro.  

Bottom line...  If you have v1.1 B.021 or older, or v1.1 C.013 or older, we recommend you update to the latest versions.  To see the exact version you have, click on Help (at the top of the main screen), and then select About Engine Log Book.    The current version number (written in blue) will be shown, something like v1.1 C.006.

to install the latest v1.1 C.017

to install the latest v1.1 B.023

When installing, you will be asked about what type of installation to do.  Select to do a Refresh installation instead of a Complete (typical) installation.

 

For some background on the Engine Log Book Pro, we updated to the Version 1.1 C in January of 2023.  Here's a list of the major changes:

2) New Cam Analyzer Video   We're always adding new videos to our youtube page.  Most recently we've added one about doing manual data entry into our Cam Analyzer for measuring cams.  Now, this is not nearly as accurate or fast as using our Cam Test Stand, but it is much better than doing most any other type of hand measurements with a dial indicator and degree wheel.  And, once you have the data entered, you can save it, print it in many different styles of reports and graphs, do more advanced analysis, etc.
