Write Start / Finish Position to Card
The IQ3 config file provides the ability to export the start / finish location (as set in the GPS
Trackmap) to the memory card. When the card is re-inserted into the data logger, this start /
finish location is automatically installed in the data logger, thus eliminating the need to set the
start / finish location with the Display Dash.
To export the GPS Trackmap start / finish location to the data logger:
7. Insure a GPS trackmap has been created for the selected Runfile, following all four steps
found in the Create GPS Track Map Runlog page.
8. Remember to place the start / finish of the GPS trackmap in a location that will be both
familiar to the driver and in an area that lap time data will be easy to read when on the
track. Typically this will be on the front straight of most tracks, as that affords the driver
a bit of time to glance at the lap time and lap number.
9. Select the Runlog Menu tab found at the bottom of the DataLink software.
10. Locate the Write Start/Finish Position to Card button as found under the Favorite Log
Page Shortcuts area.
11. Connect the memory card to your PC via the method used when downloading data to
the users PC (typically a USB flash card reader).
12. Select the Write Start/Finish Position to Card button.
This action automatically places the GPS trackmap start / finish position on the memory card.
Following this action, simple insert the memory card into the data logger and apply power.
The start / finish is now set, which will allow the display dash to provide lap time and lap
number information. This start / finish location can be re-set by using the Display Dash method
or by exporting another start / finish location to the compact flash card (as taken from the GPS
trackmap).
WARNING: Do not make any changes to the start finish file that is saved to the memory card.
Editing the name or file type will result in failure to write the start / finish location to the data
logger.
