Re: Wheel Speed differential (Detecting loss of traction)

Set up two frequency channels as speed channels. Set up a math channel to ratio the two speeds as a percentage, or calculate the plus/minus difference in %. Easy-peasy if you are familiar with basic maths functions.

Re: DL1 Mk2 has power but wont turn on...

Check the on-board battery to see if it is OK (should be 3V). I had a similar problem, replaced the battery with a cell holder, and now replace the 2032 battery yearly.

Re: DL1 Mk1 and Mk2 Internal Battary

Yes they allow the device to remember what satellites are in the area for quick lock on. I have also noted a lot of corrupted files when the battery is dead. I adapted a button cell holder so that I can replace the CR2032 battery annually. No more lost data, and super quick lock on.

Date & time stamps come from GPS. Hook up an antenna and all will be good. I have a DL1 set up to log stress & strain in a workshop, and have a GPS antenna permanently on the roof.

I would use an oven to heat the probe, and a fridge to cool it. I would wrap the sensor with a K-type thermocouple attached to a display, and when the temp stabilises at a value take a reading with the logger. 5 degrees, ambient (night and day can give a 20 degree spread), and 100 degrees should giv...

Go to variable manager for rpm, and you will find that the maximum is set to 8000. Set it to 10000, and you will have no more problems.

You can check the calibration by logging while resting the unit on a level surface on each of the six faces. Should read 1g at each position! If not, contact RT for advise to recalibrate the unit. :D

Setup issue in variable RPM

Try, Data>Variable Manager>External Inputs>RPM>Maximum . . . set to 9000, or whatever limit you like.

I use 15000 rpm for an engine that revs to 12000

I have similar problems, and I also put it down to a poor GPS lock before starting the logger. I always make sure that I start the logger out in the open, make sure the GPS light is flashing, and avoid carports, garages etc. I have one track in the Upper Hunter Valley that has a lot of surrounding t...

Video sync

Accurate? . . . you would think so . . . I had to FF/RW to nominate start and finish sync points to get it to make sense. Like I said originally I only used it during the early beta testing of V7 when the feature was not locked out. It may be completely different now, so hopeully someone who has use...

Samsung codecs

The only information I have from Media Player is: 704 x 576 *.avi video using DivX Custom Decoder Filter. Audio with AC3 Filter. I only do hillclimbs, so only one lap applies, and there was no obvious problems with the sync. I would expect that with the considerable GPS drift experienced by DL1 unit...

Video option

Had a chance to use the video option during the beta testing of V7. Found it quite easy to use and of some use for tuning to driver (me!), but did not see the value in having to pay extra for it. Decoded the Samsung files with no problems at all.
