Import or Export AIM data

[emersom]

Is it possible (easily) to import or export data to AIM systems? Many thanks in advance for any advice!

It is possible to export the Race Technology data to a .csv file or Matlab. I'm not familiar enough with the AiM system to know whether it is then possible to import that data into their software.
It is not possible to import 3rd party data to the Race Technology Analysis software.

It would be great if RT software imported data from other systems. This can be one of the main reasons why teams and drivers stay loyal to other brands of logger, because they don't want to have to disregard years of data.

Any thoughts? Or have any boffins come up with a conversion program?

Cheers!

Hi,

We've had a number of requests for this - but it's not so simple.

The biggest problem is that:

1/ our software is much more powerful and "nicer" than other clubman systems
2/ We give it away for free on our web site

So you can deduce from the above that allowing people to download data from other systems into our software might not be the best commercial decision!

That said it would be nice for comparison purposes when you upgrade from another vensor to RT... so it's something we are thinking about.

Kind regards,

RT support

I honestly think you would entice lots of people into your systems if they could import all their old PI, Stack, Aim or whatever type of data. This is one of the biggest reasons people stick with other brands, the hassle of losing years of data and therefore work is too much!

Please let me know if anyone out there has a solution for looking at Aim data with Race Technology software!

Any news on this?!

There is another way to compare data from two different loggers, and provides a way to analyse power, grip, aero and gear ratios:
Bosch LAPSIM. It is what I use.

As for protecting (the free) Analysis software from unauthorised use: Perhaps a Bureau Service could be provided by RT for conversion of legacy data in .csv format into the .run format? Web-based and automated for £25 per dataset?

Thanks for the advice, that is wonderful.

I see that until 2009 Lapsim was completely free, but now only a demo version is free. Does anyone have a link to a download of the free older versions?

Cheers!

Sorry, you're correct it is no longer free.

If you struggle to get sorted, mail me and I'll see what I can do.
