I just recently installed new cylinders and was doing some testing to make sure things are working as they should. The problem is that it's difficult to extract some of the test data if it's buried in a one hour flight. I was doing inflight mag checks but because the changes were so subtle I couldn't find them in the data. Someone on the forum suggested using a marker in the USER LOGS to mark the test data.

I have two fuel pumps and use a contact to display which is in use. Turns out to be the perfect data marker. So I switch pumps, do the test and switch the pumps back. Any contact could be used if you can switch it on and off. Here are the results. The first spike is the pump test during runup. The next three are to mark test data.
