1. INTRODUCTION
This manual explains how to operate the Data Logger. We have made the Data Logger as easy to use as possible.
The LCD display on the front of the Data Logger guides you through the functions. It identifies the function on the top line, and
up to three choices on the bottom line. A function/option can be selected by pressing the button directly below the name.
To operate the system, select a function by pressing one of the three buttons, and following the menus to the task of your
choice.
The following pages have diagrams and details to get you started. Don’t worry about accidentally pressing the wrong button
and loosing data or your calibrations. Any configuration or calibration can easily be re-entered, and data has to be manually
removed. If you find yourself lost in an operation, just turn the unit OFF and ON to reset to the main menu (“CHOOSE MODE”).
When an option is explained in this manual, you will only be told to press the buttons relating to the option. If other options are
available on the same screen, they will not be explained. For more details on those options, see the related section.
We hope you enjoy your Data Logger and hope it proves to be an asset to your racing program.

3. REMOTE START SWITCH OPERATION
The remote switch supplied with the Data Logger is a single throw, momentary switch. Pressing the switch is the same as pressing
the “Rec#” button in the “CHOOSE MODE”. The unit will continue recording until the memory for the run is full or the “STOP” button
is pressed.
4. RECORDING RUN DATA - “Rec#”
The Record (“Rec#”) mode, selected from the “CHOOSE MODE”, allows you to begin recording run data.

8. CONFIGURING THE DATA LOGGER
The Data Logger software has several customizable options. These options allow you to tailor the system operation and
playback functions to your individual needs. The entire configuration process can be performed with menu selections on
the LCD screen.
If you print a pass and are not happy with the preset configuration, you can change the configuration. The configuration
can be changed as often as necessary and will not alter the recorded data in memory. Once the configuration has been
changed, the run can be reprinted with the new settings.
This is a list of options provided by the configuration software. They are explained in more detail in the following
sections.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:
1. Data Recording
A) Manual start data recording
B) Delayed start data recording (activated by a selectable engine or drive shaft RPM)
2. Selectable graph scales
A) Pressure
B) Accelerometer
C) Auxiliary channels
D) Calculated ratio plots
3. Noise filter for EGT’s
4. Graph presentation formats

The “ENABLE RESTART ?” screen allows you to instantly
restart a recording. This is used when the Data Logger is set
in manual start mode and a recording is started accidentally
or to early. If this option is OFF and a recording needs to
be restarted, it takes several steps to cancel and restart the
recording. With this option ON, it only takes the press of a
button. This is a big time saver when sitting on the starting line.
• Pressing the “YES” button turns “ENABLE RESTART ?” ON.

MPH Corr.# XXX
UP DOWN ENTER
The system calculates MPH from the Accelerometer data. This
screen allows you to enter a correction factor for slight zero
position misalignments and changes in altitude during the run.
A correction factor of 511 represents no correction applied.
Raising this number will reduce the calculated MPH. Lowering
this number will increase the calculated MPH. The amount of
correction applied is approximately 1% per 50 counts entered in
the correction factor. This number can be set from 0 to 1023.
• Pressing the “UP” button increases the correction factor.
• Pressing the “DOWN” button decreases the correction factor.
• Pressing the “ENTER” button stores the value and advances
to the next screen.
Pressing and holding the “UP” or “DOWN” button will cause the
number to change faster. (Available only when a “RUN” is sent
directly to the printer. 17 Channel only.)

EGT Noise Filter
IN EXIT OUT
In some installations it is not possible to completely isolate the
EGT cables from other signal cables. When this happens, you
may get occasional noise fluctuations in the printout. The “EGT
Noise Filter” software is very effective in reducing the effects of
cable noise. If the noise component is more than 20% of the
signal, this filter will not help. The only remedy for this problem
is to provide better separation between the EGT cables and
other signal cables and ignition sources.
• Pressing the “IN” button turns the EGT filter ON and
advances to the next screen.
• Pressing the “EXIT” button returns to the “CHOOSE MODE”.
• Pressing the “OUT” button turns the EGT filter OFF.
