Data Pod 350: Comparisons

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD, Micro Pod and Data Pod provide Exact Track mapping using high speed 10 Hz. and 20 Hz. differential GPS. Using this technology, R.L.C. is able to achieve accuracy not possible using older G force style track mapping. Using our new technology, we are able to precisely map the edges of the track and then accurately map the exact line of the race car within the track for each and every individual lap.
Motec ADL1, ADL2 uses older G force track mapping. A PC is used to average G force and speed data to generate a single map to represent all completed laps. Also offers a high resolution GPS module in their catalog, but nowhere at the website do they mentioned the features it would provide nor the benefits of using it. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
Aim Sports MXL PRO is offering a GPS module but does not mention GPS track mapping as a major feature at their website. They do not provide technical information regarding GPS accuracy at their website. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
Racepak IQ3 soon to be released dash display claims to use an internal GPS, but does not provide technical information regarding accuracy. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
Racepak G2X uses both a 4 Hz internal GPS and a 100 Hz accelerometer to create their track maps. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
CDS Competition Data Systems Co Pilot 2+ claims to use a GPS, but does not provide technical information regarding accuracy. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
Race Technology DASH2 claims to use a 20 Hz GPS. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.
Stack Systems DASH provides G force style track mapping. We can not find mention of GPS track mapping.
Pi Research Omega Dash appears to use older G force track mapping and does not appear to support GPS.

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD, Micro Pod and Data Pods provide 1 Gigabyte of expandable data logging memory as standard. They also also provide a file management system for automatically storing dozens of races sessions regardless of length and time. Data can be uploaded using a simple USB FLASH stick at any time.
Motec ADL2 provides only 8 Mega Bytes of memory standard which can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 Mega Bytes using a turn-on code. Data is recorded in a first in first out format. Data can be lost if not uploaded to a PC using a custom cable after each session.
Aim Sports MXL PRO provides only 16 Mega Bytes of non-expandable memory. Data is recorded in a first in first out format. Data can be lost if not uploaded to a PC using a custom cable after each session.
Racepak IQ3 soon to be released dash display offers a removable Micro SD card with 512 Mega Bytes of storage. File management capabilities are not specified at this time.
CDS Competition Data Systems Co Pilot 2+ provides only 8 Mega Bytes of non-expandable memory. Data can be lost if not uploaded to a PC using a custom cable after each session.
Race Technology DASH2 provides no memory and does not log data. Requires the use of separate data loggers.
Stack Systems DASH provides not enough memory to mention. They won't tell you on their web site. PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH!
Pi Research Omega Dash provides no memory and does not log data. Requires the use of separate data loggers.

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD, Micro Pod and Data Pod provide high speed extremely accurate 12 Bit resolution data that has been over sampled four times (4x) and averaged prior to logging. This feature guarantees the most accurate data possible.
Motec ADL 1, ADL 2 specify 12 bit resolution. Although detailed graphs of analog data published at the Motec web site indicate data to be only 10 bits in resolution.
Aim Sports MXL PRO provides no specifications for the accuracy and resolution of data from their unit.
Racepak IQ3 soon to be released dash display offers no data acquisition on its own. You are required to use their V-Net sensor modules. Racepak does not specify the resolution and accuracy of their V-Net products.
CDS Competition Data Systems Co Pilot 2+ requires a separate box.
Race Technology DASH2 requires a separate box or boxes.
Stack Systems DASH accuracy not specified. Requires a separate box.
Pi Research Omega Dash requires a separate box or boxes.

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD, Micro Pod and Data Pod provide flexible digital outputs that can be set by the user to turn on fans or other devices and functions as alarms and limits for any digital or analog inputs.
Motec ADL-1, ADL-2 provides digital outputs for shift lights and alarms.
Aim Sports MXL PRO does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.
Racepak IQ3 does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.
CDS Competition Data Systems Co Pilot 2+ does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.
Race Technology DASH2 does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.
Stack Systems DASH does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.
Pi Research Omega Dash does not provide this feature. No digital outputs.

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD , Micro Pod and Data Pod provide more connectivity, including CAN Bus , 10/100 base Ethernet, SD cards, USB FLASH drives, USB client cable, USB mouse, USB keyboard, and dual RS-232 ports.
Not one of our competitors has anything that can be compared when it comes to connectivity. Without the connectivity, they cannot support features such as file management and file formats that are compatible to the standard PC compatible file system.

All comparisons and statements were based on manufacturer's data sheets, information posted at their web site, and opinions of RLC. If a mistake is brought to our attention and we can verify the information, we will make changes as necessary. We recommend that you do your own research as well before making a final decision.
