New installation
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2015 11:32 am
I am in the process of installing a DL1 SPORT/ DASH3 LITE GoPro combination into a small single-seat race car. While most of the instructions in the manual have been clear, there are a couple of things I would like some advice on. First, I propose mounting the GPS antenna so that it protrudes through the GRP bodywork where it will have a good sky view and be as far as possible from electrical interference from the ignition system. The manual advises that the antenna is mounted on a metal plate (ground plane); have other users got good results without this? If not does the plate have to be open to the sky or is it sufficient to mount the antenna on the plate with the antenna alone protruding through the bodywork?
Despite searching the knowledge base and this forum the biggest area of confusion for me relates to the compact flash card and the data stored on it. Do I have to use a, increasingly rare, 2GB card or will a 2GB partition on a larger drive work? I also really don't get how to use the downloadable .RUN and .MAP files to provide timing markers for the various circuits; do I have to manually load them to the card via the computer, and if so where? Finally, the manual (Page 14, 3.2.2 says the card should be inserted into the DL1 after the logger is powered up, is this correct?
Thanks
