Step 3: Manually Edit Segments
It is also possible to manually name a particular turn, override the assigned name to a particular
area of the track or creating additional segments by using the Manual Segment Edit. To do so:
1. Position the location of the vehicle (as noted by the X on the track map) in the desired
change area. Select Divide. Move the cursor to the desired ending point of the change
select the Divide button again.
2. Place the location of the vehicle between the newly selected Diving markers and choose
the desired action: Corner / Straight / Merge / Extend / Divide and the DataLink II
software will perform the desired changes.
Road course: We have found it is helpful to obtain a top view of the race course (most are
available on the Internet) and duplicate their nomenclature for corners and straights. This
agreement between maps will greatly assist, when discussing particular track areas.
Circle Track: To create a four turn track, place the mouse cursor in the Main Graph area and
move the vehicle location to the center of turn 1, then select the Divide button. Next, place the
mouse cursor in the Main Graph area and place the vehicle location in the center of the
opposite turn and select the Divide button. This action will now provide a four turn track.
Additional segments may be created by placing the vehicle in the desired location and
continuing to divide the track map.
Remember, any segment added to the track map provides timing information, which aids in
data analysis.
To manually insert segment markers at desired locations on the track map, position the vehicle
at the desired location for the entrance segment marker and select the Divide button. Next,
move the vehicle to the desired exit segment marker and again select the Divide button. Then,
place the vehicle position between the two segments markers that are in view on the track map
and select the Corner button.
