Racepak G2X Скачать руководство пользователя страница 5

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the G2X, Racepak’s easy to use GPS equipped data logger. As with any
technical item, the product is easy to use, only if the manual is easy to understand. With that thought in
mind, we have created a manual that provides an orderly process to the installation and usage of the
G2X. This manual covers the basic installation and use of the G2X data logger and DataLink analysis
software.

Thanks again for your purchase. We will be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Tip

: Installation and first time usage of the G2X will be much easier if the demo run, along with

the entire installation manual is read and utilized. While the G2X and Datalink II software is
very user friendly, it requires practice. Attempting to install the G2X, download a run and work
through the Datalink II software, without reading the manual, will cause frustration for the user.
