ADDING POWER GRID CHANNELS TO RACEPAK DATALINKII SOFTWARE
Since your Power Grid data channels are viewed the same as any other Racepak V-Net sensor (such as oil pressure,
water temperature, etc), the Racepak data logger “configuration file” must be updated with the Power Grid data
channel.
1. Open the Racepak DatalinkII software
2. Select File / Open Car Configuration from the DatalinkII main menu
3. Select your particular configuration file and the OK button
4. Ensure your Power Grid is connected to the Racepak V-Net cable
5. Connect your PC to the Racepak data recorder via the Racepak programming cable
6. Power up your Power Grid and Racepak data recorder
7. Select Edit / Read VNET Config from the DatalinkII main menu
8. Once scan is complete, select File / Save from the main menu
9. Power the Racepak data recorder off and back on
Note: If using a USB to Serial adapter between your PC and the programming cable, the DatalinkII software will
offer to scan the Com ports, if a communication issue is detected. Select OK to allow scanning. Following
the scan, repeat the above steps 7 - 9.
