Setting the Start Record Channel
The record enable channel is the data channel used to start or trigger the recording process. When
the IQ3 Street Logger Dash data logger is programmed at the factory, the Start Record Channel will
have been set to Disabled = x0 as shown below. In this setting, the data recording is only initiated via
the utilizing the either pushbutton input. To start the recording automatically when a selected
parameter exceeds a preset threshold, select the desired parameters name from the list displayed in
the edit box as described below.
To program the record enable channel, locate the Start Record Channel option, and select it as
described above. The options channel dropdown box will be updated with the names and ID’s of all
of the currently installed parameters measured by your system. To enter a new value, click on the
down arrow located on the right side of the option edit box. A list of the valid channel names, and
IDs will be displayed. Use the scroll buttons to display all of the values included in the list. When you
have located the desired selection, position the mouse cursor over the selection, and click the left
mouse button to accept the selection. The top line of the edit box will be updated with the newly
selected value.
Setting the Start Recording Threshold Value
This option is used in conjunction with the Start Record Channel to determine when the recording
is started. By default, since the Start Record Channel has been factory set Disabled = x0, as the
pushbuttons start the recording. In this case, the record option threshold is ignored.
If you have selected any other channel, the recording will start any time the value of the selected
channel exceeds the value of the record threshold. If you are using an on/off switch connected to a
digital input on your data logger to manually start the recording, you will need to set the Start Record
Value to 0. A digital input channel in event mode only has two values, 0 when the switch is off and 1
when the switch is on. In this case, a value of 1 is greater than 0 and the recording will start.
If you have selected a channel such as Engine Rpm, enter the desired rpm above which to start the
recording. For instance, 3000. The recording will begin any time the engine rpm exceeds 3000 rpm.
A Stop Recording when channel is below value can also be set. This allows a lower threshold to end
the recording that is in process when the selected channels value falls below this set number for a
minimum set number of seconds as designated by the Number of Seconds to Continue Recording
time.
