Thanks Al. Excellent idea. It will always give access to more channels and will sometimes work for my applications. I have not checked in recent releases of Analysis, but for a while we were limited to six active User Channels without a Pro Licence. Is this still the case? I have lots of math channe...

Either way, it's not going to break the bank (for a change), but unless the resistor is to convert a current loop style sensor to a "voltage" style, there is no need for the expense of high tolerance resistors. If you're using a sensor manufacturer's calibration data, with OHM's law applie...

What sort of vehicle and track was involved? We were at a bumpier than normal road race circuit, but at 1450 kg the beast should have more "comfortable" ride quality than most racecars. It's rather like an independent rear end version of a NASCAR or the defunct Transams. Sedan style silhou...

I believe I have had very similar experiences of changed behaviour. Sometimes a logger on the logger to prove we're not seeing things (or just going crazy) would be nice. I think the light sequence varies with the prescence (or otherwise) of the card. Perhaps if the card has a SETUP file on it, the ...

In Australia because rain is so less frequent, most tracks are diabolically slippery when it occurs. It's certainly a special treat when it's wet. Many amateurs will not practice in the wet unless it's almost guaranteed to be a wet race. Preservation of machine and self is the priority. Almost as ma...

I use a pair of DL1s in an advanced road racing car when we need to monitor more parameters. I do not, however, recommend this as a simple solution. The problem is that at this stage of its evolution, the R-T Analysis software can't allocate different variable configuration files to the multiple log...

I understand the options and don't think Tristan's suggestion of avoiding dates in file or folder names is without merit. If the user's situation means most start ups are without satellite visibility, it is probably a recommendation I would adopt. There is no point relying on an automatic system tha...

Still some problems, but probably easily resolved. I have never used date and time for filename. I have only realized it is possible by checking the Help System recently. I simply stuck to the default configuration that increments the "RUN" number. Nevertheless, it is probably less likely ...

No files, just some advice. What do you want the sector breakdown to achieve? Most automatically generated sectors in any DAQ software I've seen are merely convenient ways of chunking the data for manual analysis. This creates a big trap for innocent users wishing to use what seems to be one of the ...

It pays to used Advanced Load/Saves under the file menu to save your variable configuration, etc. When updating software versions this information seems to get lost from the last session configuration, that's usually been saving us time in the background. This didn't help much when we jumped from V....

Sometimes it might take longer than a minute, but usually only if it was miles away and/or last had GPS lock in ancient history. Of course, the current sattelite availability/visibility is also important. EVO, your problem will only half fix itself with lock achieved before logging starts... Unless ...

Sorry Al. :oops:
Should have said mentioned as part of Liquid's "fault".
Only trying to simplify the "solution". :D

Liquid hasn't mentioned pre-trigger, simply auto-start. Tristan is probably correct. It is instructive to let the unit aquire GPS lock before inserting the CF card. If the logging light then comes on you may have a problem that maybe Reflashing will fix, but let's not be pessimistic and go there. Ac...
