Data Viewer Question

Post by jimmybuckets »

Can the Data View be used to log 0-60 and other performance type parameters?

nope, no performance parameters (like a g-tech) are available...

Is the reason they can't do it because they don't have TCM support yet?

No, it has nothing at all to do with TCM support.
The hardware in the Predator will not support that.

Would be easy to figure out from the log. It records speed versus time after all. You could also calculate quarter mile times as a function of speed versus time as well.

Diablo could easily add this functionality to the DataView if they wanted.

Once I get the unit, suppose to arrive thursday, I'll check out the dataview a little more. If we can export into an excel spreadsheet it should be rather easy to make a macro to do the calculations. I'll let you know.

I don't know how to do it...but I was thinking along the same lines...all the info is there to figure it out :)

Actually you can log vehicle speed and time is being logged already...is it that simple with the data viewer?

Ha TCM...any whoo...I logged some 0-60 vs time loggs with the Data view...gives me a best run of 8.1 seconds...a little worse than what superchips flashpaq was telling me I was getting...is this a viable way of getting these times?

not really.. cuz it only takes data snapshots every so often... every certain amount of seconds... so more than likely you were faster than that, but by the time the next data-record cycle came around to record that time interval, you were already past it

I'm sure sample rate has something to do with it...my only question is that there were around 650 samples in that time span from 0-60...seems like it should be pretty close...just poking around here a little

It is. It's showing me at about 4.2 seconds 0-60. Thats about right for the conditions. Just hang jimmy, I'm working on the macros. But, I'm showing 6 thousands of a second between data writes in a log. Perhaps thats the problem the 7194's are having, we are grabbing data too fast. If they were to slow it down, the device isn't really going to able to give us the data fast enough to do these calculations. I'd rather it stay the way it is than increase the interval between data logs to increase the log time.

Best of both worlds would be to be able to select the data log interval.

Worse case, its a much better device as is, than what the others are. So I wont be upgrading it if it loses this functionality.
