Sensors
The optional Dash Logger inputs* can be connected to a wide variety of
sensors. Different types of sensors are available to suit different types of
measurements, for example: temperature, pressure, movement etc.
Sensors convert a physical measurement (e.g. pressure) into an electrical
signal (e.g. volts).
Different types of sensors generate different types of electrical signals. For
example, most temperature sensors convert the temperature into a variable
resistance which may be measured by an Analogue Temperature input.
However most wheel speed sensors generate a variable frequency signal
which must be connected to either a Digital input or a Speed input.
*To use these inputs, you will need to enable the #29500 CDL3 12 I/O
upgrade.
Expanders
E888
The CDL3 supports an E888 Expander, 8 thermocouples only.
Accessories
BR2
A BR2 Beacon Receiver may be connected to the CDL3, which allows the
Dash Logger to calculate lap times for display and to provide lap
information for the data analysis software.
SLM-C
The SLM-C Club Shift Light Module can be used for shift lights, warning
lights and other driver alerts.
The SLM-C includes 8 coloured LEDs that can be programmed to display
in a pre-defined pattern.
GPS
The CDL3 Dash Logger supports many GPS (Global Positioning System)
devices allowing it to record speed and position information as well as
providing lap timing.
This information can be used in the i2 data analysis software to create
track maps, and plot and compare driven lines.
A 10 Hz GPS is supplied as part of the CDL3 Track Kits.
