Dashboard & Data Visualization

The Dashboard tab provides a dedicated, interactive visual interface for your vehicle's data.

Rather than relying on third-party apps, the WiCAN Pro features a built-in dashboard that visualizes data in two distinct ways: Live Data (real-time monitoring) and Logger Data (historical chart analysis).

1. Live Data Tab

The Live Data tab acts as your real-time instrument cluster. It connects directly to the WiCAN's active data stream to display parameters as they are polled from the vehicle.

Controls and Indicators

  • Connection Status: Located at the top of the dashboard, this indicator lets you know if the browser is actively receiving data from the WiCAN Pro, along with a "Last updated" timestamp.
  • Auto-refresh (5s): By default, the dashboard automatically updates the live data widgets every 5 seconds. You can toggle this off if you want to freeze the current values.
  • Refresh Now: A manual override button to instantly pull the latest data points from the device.

!NOTE If you see a "No Live Data Available" message, ensure your vehicle's engine is running and that you have actively enabled parameters in the Automate tab. The dashboard only visualizes data the WiCAN is actively polling.

2. Logger Data Tab (Historical Analysis)

The Logger Data tab is a powerful analytical tool that reads the SQLite databases saved to your WiCAN's microSD card. It downloads these databases and processes them locally in your web browser, allowing you to scrub through hours or days of driving data without lag.

!IMPORTANTAn SD card formatted to FATFS must be installed and the Logger must be enabled in the settings for this tab to function. If no SD card is detected, the dashboard will display a warning.

Step 1: Select a Date Range

Use the Date Range calendar picker to select the timeframe you want to analyze.

  • By default, it looks at the last 7 days.
  • When you select a range, the dashboard automatically queries the WiCAN Pro for any database files (obd_logs) created during that specific window.

Step 2: Choose Your Parameters

Once the databases are loaded into your browser's memory, a searchable list of available parameters will appear.

  • Use the Search box to quickly filter through large lists of data points.
  • Check the box next to any parameter to instantly generate a chart.

Step 3: Interactive Charts

For every parameter you select, the dashboard generates a dedicated, color-coded line chart.

  • Hover: Move your mouse over the line to see the exact value and timestamp for any given data point.
  • Time Scaling: The X-axis automatically scales from seconds to days depending on how much data you are viewing.

3. Exporting Data (Bulk Download)

If you want to perform deeper analysis using desktop software (like Excel, MATLAB, or MegaLogViewer), you do not need to physically remove the SD card from the WiCAN Pro.

Click the "Download Selected Database Files" button located above the charts. The dashboard will automatically compress all the SQLite databases from your selected date range into a single .zip archive and download it directly to your computer.
