Setting the Correct Time and Date inside Your IQ3 Drag Dash
A new data file (.ddf extension) is created on the SD memory card each time a new recording is
initiated. Each file is time stamped with the time and date the recording was started to allow
for easy identification of the data files upon uploading to your PC. For this reason, it is strongly
recommended that you maintain the correct time in your IQ3 Drag Dash. The time can be
programmed through use of two external programming buttons known as Button 1 and Button
2 OR following the following procedure using the Datalink II software.
Before beginning, insure that the time and date on your PC are set correctly. The time is
located in the Windows system tray at the lower right hand side of your screen. The date can
be seen by placing the mouse cursor over the time display for a few seconds. You can change
the time by double clicking on the time display.
Start the DataLink software and open your Car Configuration file by Clicking on
File
from the
Menu bar and selecting
Open Car Configuration
. Select the configuration file named
IQ3_Config_Drag
and click
OK
This will open your car configuration file. Next click on the
Organize Pane icon on the
left tool bar.
This should bring up run log pane (located on the bottom of the screen) as shown below.
