10.1 Using the DASH4PRO Lap Timing Functions
To use the DASH4PRO lap timing functions the unit must be connected to a Race
Technology DL1 or DL2 Data Logger. The Data Logger monitors when the vehicle has
passed a track marker and sends the lap or sector timing information to the DASH4PRO
which displays the data and stores best lap and sector times. The lap timing functions
only operate when the Data Logger is logging data. If the logger is just monitoring
sensors and sending this information to the DASH4PRO no lap or sector times will be
displayed. The lap timing functions use GPS data from the Data Logger, so can only
function correctly when the logger has a valid GPS lock.
Lap timing functions use GPS coordinates as track markers to define sectors and laps.
These markers can be added either by setting up a button on the DASH4PRO to add a
marker, by using a dedicated button connected to the Data Logger, or by adding them to
data using the Race Technology Analysis Software and saving the resulting .lap file to
the memory card for transfer to the Data Logger. The following sections explain each of
these options detail.
10.2 Adding Track Markers from the DASH4PRO
1. Set up one of the buttons or button combinations on your DASH4PRO to the Add
track marker function as described in the Editing Button Functions (page 18)
section.
2. Insert a correctly formatted card in to the logger and start logging.
3. Make sure that Data Logger‟s internal GPS system has obtained a good positional
lock. GPS Lock light on the Data Logger flashes when the GPS system is locked on.
It flashes once slowly then a quick blink for each satellite it has locked onto.
4. Start logging the data.
5. Press the track marker button to add a marker. The DASH4PRO will jump to the
track marker screen.
6. The DASH4PRO will show the “Adding marker” message on screen and a
command will be sent to the Data Logger to add a track marker to the marker file.
7. The DASH4PRO will wait for a response from the Data Logger. If a response is not
received in time – i.e. if response timeout occurs – the DASH4PRO will report this
to the user.
