Chapter 1. Introducing the WiFi Recorder
The Stack ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder (MFRW) can monitor a
range of values, known as performance parameters, needed for
effective car and driver management in most competitive
situations.
The system consists of a ten-input sensor module with a built-in
32 megabyte data recorder.
All of the sensors may be recorded at rates up to 200 samples
per second (200 Hz). Data recording can be configured to start
when a parameter, eg, Engine Speed, rises above a preset value.
The recorder can hold thirty Runs and those runs can be
downloaded to your PC using the Stack DataPro software (see
separate Users Guide).
The MFR(W) can be used to drive a configurable remote
Display Module (ST8995-2) in real-time.
ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder can record up to 45 channels across
the Stack CAN network as a whole, with a network capacity of
up to 4000 sps.
All the features of the ST8956 Multi-Function Recorder operate
as usual. The WiFi option also allows the convenience of
downloading data without physically connecting to the on-car
system.
How to use this Manual
Stack recommends that you unpack and connect the components
in the system
before
you install it in your vehicle. This will
enable you to familiarise yourself with operating the system and
configuring it for the vehicle in which you intend to install it.
!
This manual does not attempt to explain how to interpret or use
the information from the ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder as this is
very specific to the type of vehicle in which it is installed and the
type of competition in which that vehicle is engaged.
