Data Logging
Data logging allows sensor readings and calculated values to be stored in the
ADL3 memory for later analysis using the i2 Data Analysis software.
To configure logging
• On
the Functions menu, click Logging
• Select the relevant tabs to set up the logging parameters
Refer to ADL3 Dash Manager online help for additional information.
Power
The ADL3 power can be turned off at any time without losing the logged data,
because it uses FLASH memory that does not require an internal battery to
keep it alive.
Logging Memory
The ADL3 comes with 16 MB memory as standard. The Data Logging
upgrade will increase this to 250 MB. See ADL3 Upgrades.
Start and Stop Logging Conditions
To avoid logging unnecessary data, logging can be started and stopped by
user definable conditions.
For example logging might start when the vehicle exceeds 50 km/h, and stop
when the engine RPM is below 500 RPM for 10 seconds.
ADL3 provides the normal logging type; this will continuously log data to
memory whenever the Start Condition is true and the Stop Condition is false.
Memory Usage
When the logging memory is full the ADL3 may be configured to either stop
logging, or to overwrite the oldest data, which ensures that the most recent
data is always available. This is referred to as cyclic logging.
For most applications it is recommended that cyclic logging is used.
Logging Time
The maximum logging time is dependent on the logging memory size, the
number of items logged and the rate at which they are logged. The
configuration software will report the total available logging time.
