E888/E816

The C185 supports two E888 or E816 Expanders allowing expansion of
the number of inputs and outputs.

The E888 has 8 x 10 bit thermocouple inputs, 8 x 10 bit voltage inputs, 4
digital inputs, 2 switch inputs and 8 outputs.

The E816 has 16 x 10 bit voltage inputs, 4 digital inputs, 2 switch inputs
and 8 outputs.

Note: The E888 / E816 inputs have lower resolution than the VIM/SVIM
inputs and have slower update rates.

Accessories

BR2

A BR2 Beacon Receiver may be connected to the C185, which allows the
C185 to calculate lap times for display and to provide lap information for
the data logging analysis software.

SLM

The SLM Shift Light Module can be used for shift lights, warnings and
other driver alerts.

It comprises 8 LEDs that can be programmed to display any colour.

GPS

The C185 supports many GPS (Global Positioning System) devices
allowing the C185 to record speed, generate lap times and measure
position information.

This information can be used in the i2 data analysis software to create
track maps, and plot and compare driven lines.

Telemetry

The C185 supports transmission of data via a telemetry radio to a remote
location such as a pit garage. This allows monitoring of the current vehicle
condition, position on the track, lap times, fuel remaining, laps remaining
etc.

The telemetry system provides three major functions:

1. Real time data that is transmitted continuously and can be shown on
graphs, gauges and other displays.

2. End of lap data which shows summary information at the end of a lap
such as lap time, maximum temperatures etc.

3. Telemetry analysis which exports the real time data to the i2 analysis
software at the end of each lap or on demand which allows normal
