Event Logging

Note:
If power is lost during an event, the ADR uses a supercapacitor to maintain power for event logging and severe event
indication (flashing Status LED).

The following applies:

• The ADR can store up to 10 events in non-volatile flash memory.
• Each event contains 2 seconds of pre-trigger data and 30 seconds of post trigger data.
• The stored event contains:

o

Accelerometer readings (3 axes), updated at 1000Hz.

o

CAN bus channels (20 channels), updated at 100Hz.

o

GPS speed, date, time and location (lat/long), updated at 20Hz.

• The ADR always attempts to maintain free space so that a new event can be logged.
• Whenever there are more than 8 logged events, the oldest non-severe event in the event log will be

automatically erased to free the log location for new events. Severe events are never automatically erased.

• Logging can be downloaded and erased using ADR Manager; see the

Events Tab

.

The generated log file for a stored event contains the following channels:
