The USBCom Module enables the Data Logger unit to communicate to the PC via a high speed data link. This module transfers the settings from the Config module to the logger, allows the user to check the operation of all the sensors, and also to download the data from the logger.

Zeroing Channels

Channels may also be selected to be 'zeroed' or set to a known datum prior to start of logging. For example, setting the damper pot readings to zero as a baseline for suspension analysis.

Once all the settings have been set for each channel, the configuration file is sent to the logger unit and it is ready to run. Logging starts automatically as soon as predetermined speed or engine rpm thresholds have been exceeded and stops when these parameters drop below their respective thresholds again. In the event of a race, logging will stop when the logging memory is full or, if the user has selected the cyclic logging feature, the unit will overwrite the oldest data with new to maintain the most recent information.

Downloading Data

After logging is complete, the data downloads extremely fast at a rate of 12MBit/second. A 4MB data file takes less than 10 seconds to download! This enables the user to view the data quickly and make the necessary engine or chassis adjustments to improve performance.
