Radius of Turn set-up
Click this option to open the Radius of Turn setup
window, in which the smoothing level and maximum
radius value can be set.
When smoothing is applied to data, the value of an
individual sample point is affected by samples around it.
As the effective Radius of a straight line is infinite, the
very high samples of data before and after a corner can
adversely affect the values of Radius in a corner. To reduce this effect it is advised to set a
maximum radius value to a fraction higher than the maximum radius of the corners you are
examining.
Other Features
Some useful features that apply to the whole of the PerformanceTools software have been
included above the main toolbar. These are described in the following section.
Export Results
All Performance or Lap Time results can be exported by clicking on the Export
Results button on the Toolbar. Results can be exported in a variety of formats
such as Excel or Word document files.
Summary
You can view basic but important information about the main ‘.dbn’ file loaded into the
PerformanceTools software by selecting Summary from the menu. The information displayed
includes information such as the time at which the file was logged and its duration, as well as
any errors, such as loss of satellites during the file.
This summary may be printed or e-mailed using the icons at the top of the window.
