Telemetry Monitor Software

The Telemetry Monitor software is used to monitor the optional telemetry link
and allows viewing of live data in various graphical formats such as charts,
bar graphs and dial gauges. It can also show the vehicle's current track
position on a track map and compare the current vehicle data to reference
data.

Telemetry Monitor software requires the optional Telemetry upgrade. See
C185 Upgrades.

Connecting the C185 to a PC

The C185 connects to the Ethernet port on the PC. This requires a connector
for the standard Ethernet cable in the loom.

The C185 loom #61213 incorporates this connector. Alternatively the
connector can be wired into an existing loom using the unterminated Ethernet
cable (#61131) or the Ethernet to Autosport pins cable (#61132).

All options are used in conjunction with a standard Ethernet cable.

Connection details are described in Wiring.
