Iv been having problems with graphs having a swing into the graph depending how the dyno grabs the load and tail ends on graphs if the logging didn't stop fast enough.
Iv seen other people on the forum have also had problems like this so I'm sharing the app I made that lets you edit your csv files with out having to manually do it in a text editor.

While your tuning this isn't really a issue since you can just ignore that stuff yourself. But having to explain to a customer at the end of the tune when you hand them a graph is a bit of a pain. And it also throws out the summary. Such as in my first screenshot it shows the incorrect torque and just makes things look messy.

Its still a work in progress since im not really dedicating any time to it since it works for my usage. And there isn't really any error capturing so if you were to enter a malformed timestamp Yourdyno would fail to open the saved csv file. Or if you enter letters instead of numbers into the rpm it will crash the app.
It wont ever over write your original csv tho since it will save it with (edited) in its name as a separate file.

But the features so far are.

  1. Open yourdyno csv run and extract a single run. (This will save a new csv in same location with the name of your selected run in brackets ()).
  2. Shows a example graph of what the dyno run graph will look like.
  3. Edit name, comments, timestamp.
  4. Trim start and end of graph at selected rpm points (for removing swing in or tail end off graph)

It can also convert hp to kw and rpm to kph but I have that disabled in this build since it will have unexpected results on any dyno other then my own.
It doesn't change the labels in yourdyno anyway so you would still have hp and rpm labels shown. Just your graph will be like 80rpm - 180rpm.
I would put some time into this tho if other people actually had some interest in that feature or when Yourdyno has support for KW and Speed runs if it doesn't have its own inbuilt conversion.

--------------------

This is build 002 so far.
https://mega.nz/#!DChhkTiB!bTKrgDynnvEJPuAXcWjyJg1fTb3Z7M6abE6BHIp3V_w

Build 001 can be found on my "Vane 4000 dyno upgrade" thread

-----------------

Red lines are whats been trimmed off by my app.

Hi, that's a great mod! ive do it before manually editing the file, it's not hard to do just with your software looks faster. looking the problems you have with the graphs maybe you need to get better setup for datalogg,etc, when i was using yourdyno the first time had too some problems wth graphs but everything Works good right now, just sometimes i get a peak at the end but very unlikely. 

Good job!

Are you running it with same privileges as you run yourdyno app.
Such as if your running yourdyno as admin you'll need to run it as admin as well so it has the correct rights to open the file.

If that doesn't work and you don't mind sharing the csv its failing to open I can see whats different between the csv im getting thats stopping it from opening.

Found the issue, Older versions save the csv with a different layout in the headder.

Old layout of csv

Name:;Test1
Ambient temperature:;78.08;F
Horsepower correction factor:;1.027
Timestamp:;8/10/2016 10:36:00 AM
Comments:;First test
Time;RPM;HP;Torque (lbft);Lambda;Engine Temp (F);MAP;aux3

vs newer layout.

Name:;BMGJET
Units:;Metric
DecimalPoint:;.
Env sensors:;T:;21.3;C;Hum:;59.0;%;P:;1003.8;mBar
Horsepower correction factor:;0.994072182254573
Timestamp:;16/08/2018 10:03:01
Comments:;
Time;RPM;HP;Torque (Nm);Lambda;EGT (C);MAP;aux3;Wheel HP;Wheel Torque

Shouldnt be much effor to make a change to how it identifys a valid file.

Version 003
https://mega.nz/#!DC4zSZjZ!kpv0p54_OXNupd8BKNNig3A9ZMGQU2oEFO2JNZJ9yC8
Changes:

  1. Can read older csv files (only had the test file on downloads page to test with tho)
  2. Can identify Nm or lbft units and shows accordingly.

If you have any csv files that it wont open attach them on here and I can check whats different in its layout and make adjustments accordingly.

Resize is wrong, i can't see the bottom part of the software. Im using 1920X1080. adding a scroll Will helps.
