IQ3 Street Logger Dash Functions
The IQ3 Street Logger Dash is the main component of the system, as it contains the main
communication module.
PC Minimum Requirements
Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 operating system
USB 2.0 Port/ 1024 x 768 or higher monitor resolution
DataLink Programming Software
The DataLink software is used to both set up and configure the IQ3 Street Logger Dash. It will be
used to modify any settings, page layouts, warning light settings, etc. The DataLink software
requires a Windows based PC with a USB 2.0 port for communication. Programming cable is
supplied in the kit.
IQ3 Street Logger Dash Configuration File (software)
The Configuration File contains the programming settings for both the dash and any internal and
external sensors utilized by the IQ3 Street Logger Dash. Any additional sensors that were not
shipped with the IQ3 Street Logger Dash will require updating and syncing of the configuration file.
Data Recording Activation
Any active channel may be used to start logging. From the factory, the IQ3 Street Logger Dash is
programmed to start logging if either pushbutton is held for at least 5 seconds and stops logging
when power is switched off on the dash. A data file is written every 3 seconds to the memory card
during recording. When power is switched off, the last 3 seconds of data may not have been written
to the card to so take note of this. Once written to the card, the file is numbered in subsequent
order (1,2,3,etc). The start logging channel may be changed to any valid sensor channel, by the user.
Terminology
In order to assist in the installation and usage of the IQ3 Street Logger Dash, the following provides
an outline of the most commonly used words that will be encountered in this manual:
Analog: Data created by the reading of a voltage change sent from a sensor.
Calibrate: The process of assigning values to sensor voltage output, in order to graph and analyze the sensor data.
CAN bus: The specific name of the technology utilized to create the V-Net sensor system.
Channel: The input from one sensor.
Digital: A sensor or signal that has only two values, off or on such as the measuring of ignition pulses to calculate Engine RPM.
HZ: Number of times per second. Used to define sample rate. Example: 4Hz represents data that is saved 4 times (every .250) per
second.
Sensor: A device that converts a physical property, such as pressure into a voltage signal.
Transducer: See Sensor.
V-Net Channel: Any sensor that is connected to the V-Net port of the IQ3 Street Logger Dash.
V-Net: Racepak exclusive that allows multiple sensors (analog or digital) to transmit their data over a single cable, back to the IQ3
Street Logger Dash.
