The options for setting the record parameters are discussed in detail below.
Setting the Start Record Channel
The record enable channel is the data channel used to start or trigger the recording process.
When the IQ3 Drag 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
