Viewing Real Time Data (Telemetry) on your PC
Data from your data logger can be displayed and recorded real time on your PC computer using
the DataLink II program. A telemetry session is regarded much the same as a data file from an
on-track run. The user will be presented with many of the same procedures that are utilized
when downloading on-track data from the Compact Flash memory card.
Telemetry is accomplished by connecting the Communication Serial cable to your PC, via a
serial port or USB / Serial port adapter and the opposite end to the logger. Before you can view
the data, however, you must first setup the real time parameters in your data logger. To setup
your data logger’s real time Configuration, open your Configuration file and right click on the
IQ3 Logger channel button. Click on the Dash Info tab. At the top of the dialog box will be a
Real – Time Telemetry Section as shown below.
Setting up the Logger Real Time Telemetry Parameters
This section will contain two lists. The list on the left-hand side of the telemetry section will
include all of the data channels currently being monitored by your data logger. The list on the
right-hand side of the telemetry sections includes all those channels that will be displayed
during a real time telemetry session. To add a channel to the telemetry list:
1. Highlight the name of the channel in the left-hand list and click on the right arrow
è button to add the selected channel to the real-time channel list.
2. To remove a channel from the real-time channel list highlight the name of the channel
in the right hand list and click on the left arrow buttonç. Remember that only channels
in the right hand list will be displayed during a real time telemetry session.
3. Use the All à button to select all of the channels for telemetry. Select ß All to remove
all of the channels from the telemetry list
4. Next select the Real Time Sample Rate from the options list in the lower left-hand
corner of the dialog box and select the desired real time sample rate.
