i2 Data Analysis Software
MoTeC's i2 data analysis software is used to analyse the logged data that has
been recorded by the Dash Logger. Any number and combination of graphs,
gauges and reports can be analysed simultaneously. The i2 environment can
be customised to specific user requirements.
There are two levels of analysis functionality available; i2 Pro and i2
Standard
.
i2 Standard
is included with any Data Logging upgrade, while i2 Pro requires
the optional Pro Analysis upgrade. See Dash Logger Upgrades.
i2 Pro
provides advanced mathematics, multiple overlay laps, and unlimited
components, workbooks and worksheets.
Connecting the Dash Logger to a PC
The Dash Logger connects to the Ethernet port on the PC. This requires a
connector for the standard Ethernet cable in the loom.
The SDL3 loom #62202 incorporates this connector. Alternatively the
connector can be wired into an existing loom using the unterminated Ethernet
cable (#61131) or the Ethernet to Autosport pins cable (#61132).
All options are used in conjunction with a standard Ethernet cable.
Connection details are described in PC Connection
