Data Pod 350: Key Features

   R.L.C. uses GPS for lap timing, track mapping and predictive and sector timing. GPS is the most accurate way to map a track . You can map a track with accuracy to within inches unlike G-Force which can be off as much as 30 ft! Using GPS for lap timing and predictive lap timing eliminates the need for expensive and bulky beacons. The Data Pod 350 is GPS ready, simply plug in the GPS module and you're on your way to exact, accurate track mapping, precise lap timing, and predictive and sector timing.
   High resolution 10 and 20 Hz. GPS position systems are used to precisely log all sensor data right along with exact position information. Unlike older G-force track mapping. R.L.C. Exact Track is the only position mapping system that puts your car in the exact line of the race track along with all sensors data exactly where it is supposed to be allowing analysis to be done without guess work or computer averaging like all other systems.  
 

Data Logging:

   The Extreme DLD comes with one (1) Gigabyte of standard on-board nonvolatile FLASH memory to store dozens and dozens of tracks sessions. That could be an entire racing season logged on your Extreme DLD units without writing over any existing file! Other systems run out of memory quickly if sample rates are too high, and must always be downloaded after each session or data is lost forever. Each session that has been logged on the Extreme DLD can be selected and played back at any time right on the unit itself. This means you do not need a PC and you do not have to wait to analyze a track session. No other system can do this and we are very proud of this powerful playback feature. All engine vitals as well as all other inputs can be logged. Each input channel can be logged at any of the selectable sample rates. The Extreme DLD automatically over samples by two times and averages the data to get extremely accurate results. This feature guarantees you data that is more accurate than any other system on the market. The CAN data as well as the GPS data is logged.

1 Gigabyte Standard Data Storage Memory (Factory Expandable)
Data 4x Over Sampled And Averaged For Accuracy
Sample Rates (50, 100, 200 Samples/Sec)
Higher Sample Rates (500, 1000, 2000 Samples/Sec) (Optional)
Programmable Auto Start/Stop Logging Features
Data From CAN Bus Logged
Data From GPS Serial Port Logged
Stores Dozens Of Track Sessions With Out the Need To Up Load Data
Auto Time Stamp Of Each Logged Track Session
Instant On-Screen Replay of Any Log File
Off-Load Data Via USB Cable Or USB FLASH Stick/Drive

Connectivity:

   Downloading the data from the Extreme DLD onto a PC is fast! You can use a USB FLASH memory stick with a transfer rate of 2.4 Mb/sec, that's 2.5x faster than our competitors. You can individually plug in a mouse, keyboard or a FLASH Drive or you can use an USB External Hub so that you can connect to them all at the same time. Or a simple USB Client to Host cable will connect the unit directly to a PC. Other companies force you to purchase a custom USB to CAN adapter and claim to offer USB. The special adapter will cost you several hundred dollars and make sure you don't lose it because a standard cable will not work. You can also use the RS-232 serial ports to download the data and has selectable baud rates up to 115 K Baud. The serial ports can be used for connecting to GPS systems and telemetry modems. The CAN bus can be used to interface most popular ECUs and can operate up to 1 Mb/sec.

USB Host For FLASH Stick / Drive, Keyboard and/or Mouse
USB Client For Direct Cable PC File Upload And File Sharing
CAN Bus For Beacon And ECU Interface (Logged)
Two (2) Serial Ports (RS-232) For GPS And Telemetry/Modem (Logged)

Wiring Harness:

   The wiring harness for the Data Pod 350 has been designed for quick installation. It is devided into two parts, the signal portion and the connectivity portion. The signal portion has each individual signal arranged in a grouping that consists of the power, ground, and signal. Every anaolog input, digital input, and digital output is arranged this way so you can quickly and easily hook up the grouping to the appropriate sensor. Sensor drawings are available in the Tech Support section of the web site. The other portion of the wiring harness consits of all the connectivity that you need to download your sessions to a USB flash stick, connect to your PC, connect to the GPS and video camera, and connect to a modem for Telemetry. The connectors are industry standard so there are no special cables needed to connect to the Data Pod 350.
   There are three levels of wiring harnesses and any level of wiring harness can be used with any level of Micro Pod. The difference between the wiring harnesses is the number of analog inputs. Everything is interchangeable but the functionality (number of analog inputs) is limited by the level of wiring harness you have in the car and the level of the dash display. For example, if you have the Data Pod 350 and you plug it into a Club level wiring harness, you will be limited to 8 analog inputs.

All Channels Bound Together in Groupings
 Each Grouping Includes the Power, Ground, and Signal Needed to Hook Up to a Sensor
Groupings Allow For Quick Installation and Easy Routing
All Connectors are Industry Standard So No Special Wires Required
