10 Acquiring Data
Fastest Lap Logging is useful for fast recording of chassis channels, such as
suspension position and force without quickly consuming the logging memory
of the device.
Fastest lap logging uses a portion of the main logging memory, check
the logging time display to see how much normal logging is available
Burst Logging (4MB and 8MB Logging Option Only)
Burst Logging allows a fast, short duration, event to be recorded at a high
sampling rate. The channels to be recorded are selected as normal,
however all channels are logged at the same rate. A burst logging buffer is
recorded when the Burst logging condition is TRUE, however the trigger point
in the buffer can be set between 0 and 100%, to allow data to be recorded
before the trigger event happened.
Burst logging uses a portion of the main logging memory, check the
logging time display to see how much normal logging is available
File Format
Logged data unloaded from a MoTeC device is stored in the MoTeC data
logging format. The file structure was designed as a fast, flexible and
extendable means to store logged data and vehicle details for analysis and
display.
Vehicle Details
The MoTeC file format also has the ability to store a wide range of vehicle
details to provide a record of the vehicle settings for the session in which the
data was logged. It is important that this information is updated each time
data is downloaded, both for keeping accurate records, and some Interpreter
math calculations.
Channel Setup
There are a wide range of sensors that can be used to record information
about the performance of a driver, vehicle drivetrain and chassis. The
following sensors are an example of the most common channels of
information used in chassis analysis, and the important considerations
