IQ3 Logger Dash Functions
The IQ3 Logger Dash is the main component of the data system, as it contains the data logger,
512MB memory card, GPS board and G meters.
IQ3 Logger Dash Configuration File
The Configuration File contains the programming settings for both the dash and any internal
and external sensors utilized by the IQ3 Logger Dash. Any additional sensors that were not
shipped with the IQ3 Logger Dash will require updating the Configuration file.
Logging Start and Stop
Any active channel may be used to start logging. From the factory, the IQ3 is programmed to
start logging at 25 GPS MPH (40 KPH) and stops logging when no speed is detected for at least
30 seconds. A data file is written each time the vehicle exceeds the start logging speed
following at least 30 seconds of no speed, and is numbered in subsequent order (1,2,3,etc). The
start logging channel may be changed to any valid sensor channel, by the user.
Download Data
Data is stored on a 5128MB microSD flash card supplied with the IQ3, and is downloaded via a
customer supplied microSD flash card reader to the user’s PC utilizing the DataLink software.
DataLink Software
The DataLink software is used to both set up (configure) the IQ3 data logger and provide the
ability to download and analyze data. Data stored on the microSD flash card is downloaded and
converted into a format (.rpk) that is recognized by the DataLink software. This .rpk file is then
saved to the user’s PC, for analysis.
