I'm wondering this as well. How do I tell where I'm engaging ABS when looking at the logs?

Any screen capture app, such as Adobe Captivate.

You'll see your wheel speed spike downward (when the wheel is momentarily locked up), and then spike back upwaard to your approximate GPS speed.

I don't have a file in front of me to try this out on, but have you tried creating a math channel and looking at the rate of change of your brake pressure? I created one called "dBrakePres" with the equation deriv(TOYO_BRAKE_PREX) and it pretty clearly shows how hard I hit the brakes each time. That may highlight an obvious difference between your braking, and ABS braking.

I think this was covered before in another thread, but I can't find it.


when pedal position is at 100%, throttle reads at 96%


any idea why that is?

How can I shift or adjust time for laps so that each lay overlays the other? Looks like they are off slightly.

BTW, I did find a way to change 'units of measure' in software. Logger was set to read in standard measurements (psi, F) but data in RS2 was still showing in metric. It can be changed in program.

Is GPS>Runs Aligned checked?

PST, I have checked for that. I will look later, but last night at our club meeting someone clicked the 'snap' button and it expanded the time line for all three laps and it was easy to drag the time line for each lap and line them up together.

Okay, I was going to suggest that next, but I wasn't sure exactly what the issue was. I'm glad you figured it out!

On the lap manager tab, click the GPS Lap Insert button to align the sessions. I "think" that is how you're supposed to do it.

Would mounting the Solo DL with this give adequate signal reception? I don't want to use a Ram mount as some groups don't allow suction cups.

Yes.

Make sure when you power it on, you give it clear signal of the sky to "lock on", and then place it there using the magnetic mounts.

This problem has been bothering me for a while now. I think I figured out a method using the OBD wheel speed sensors and brake pressure. Simpler methods like derivatives of wheel speeds and brake pressure didn't work well enough on their own, but when you combine the two, you get a useful output. I detailed it here, with the formulas I used. I'd love to hear if it works for you guys too.

Hi guys, quick question.

I'm currently using the Torque Pro App to monitor my oil and water temps on track, but would like to use a data logger as well. Can the Solo DL be configured to display oil and water temps as well as lap times/predictive times at the same time or via scrolling screens?

Yes, this is supported. I have my screen customized to show: lap time, predictive lap time and oil temp.

Great, thanks.

Is all the info on one screen or is it shown on different screens that scroll?

I don't have a SOLO, but I use the same mount for my phone and it gets GPS fix with no issue.

I have mine setup on one screen so I don't have to touch the Solo DL once the track session starts. In the settings, you can specify how many fields you want to display on the custom screen; the display isn't that large so there is a practical limit on how many fields you can show and read quickly.

Yes, I imagine trying to display 4 fields at once wouldn't be ideal, hence why i asked about the scrolling screens.

You can make it show all 4 on one screen, or one on a large screen and scroll through.

@TCR: let me know if you need help setting up the unit. It's really easy once you learn to navigate the menus.

Anyone run AIM and torque at the same time? Any problems?

Ordered my Solo DL today. Downloaded the software, and there seems to be a couple of different versions of RaceStudio. I assume I'm best off just using RaceStudio 3?

The Solo DL needs Race Studio 2.

It uses RaceStudio 2.

Thanks guys.

I assume when you first install the unit in your car, or switch it to another car you need to connect it to the PC, open up the software and "Calibrate Device" to calibrate the accelerometers?

Correct!

Thanks Mike. In my rush to get everything sorted for the track on Saturday I forgot this bit and consequently my data was useless. On the plus side though, got it all hooked up to the ECU and the custom page setup showing, +- time, Best lap, Oil temp and Coolant temp which all worked well.
Never mind, I have a race meeting in a couple of weeks, so hopefully have it all sussed out by then.

Question regarding track maps.

All of my local tracks are loaded on the DL, so they are recognised when I turn on the unit at the track. After I download the data and open the Map Manager, I notice none of the tracks are listed. Do you have to create new maps from the gps data collected, or can you import them from the Aim website or from your DL?

You typically create them on your own with the data you've collected. You can define corners and straights however you'd like.

Thanks Mike.

Only other issue I'm having at the moment is with the Test Database and Lap Manager tabs. When I was trying to setup my default view, I was resizing some of the windows I had opened and closed both the Test Database and Lap Manager windows. Ever since then, whenever I try to click on the tabs (highlighted on the image below), nothing happens and I cannot seem to open these screens at all. The only way I can get them to reopen is to restart the software. Any ideas?

For Test Database, go to Data -> Load Test

If you load a test, Lap Manager will come up as a tab.

Yeah, tried that. I click on the Data tab and then Load Test from the drop down menu, the screen flickers (like it's opened) but the screen stays the same. The tab below is "selected" like it's open, and if I click on the Data tab a second time, the Load Test option is greyed out (unavailable). It's like it's opened somewhere but I cant see it. Even if I minimise everything I have open I can't see it.

I even tried deleting the software and reinstalling it.

Couldn't work it out, so uninstalled the software, deleted all associated files and then reinstalled the software. Seems to work ok now.

I'm setting new profiles for my FR-S and S2000 (based on sstfnv's previous post).

You are suggesting setting all of the ECU channels at 100Hz instead of the default 10Hz? If so, have you encountered any space/capacity issues with the 16 mb internal memory at the max sample rate?

Unless you're logging a lot of hours, no.

Thanks for the info. I've maxed the sampling on all channels. Look forward to collecting some data to look at @ Thunderhill tomorrow.

Starting point problem
 

Hi Mike,

Bought the Solo DL from you last Oct. I am having some issues with the GPS map. The start point for the different laps are not consistent. See attached screenshot. The blue cross is for the red lap and the yellow cross is for the blue lap. There is a shift of around 70m between the 2 laps. This makes it difficult for me to compare between laps, rendering the time different graph(very useful graph) useless. Are there any settings I can do to resolve this issue?

The track is a F3 standard 2km track and logging was done on a clear bright day. I have the same issue on the Shanghai F1 track (5km) but with a shorter distance error of 50m. See attached.

Try changing your scaling to a time basis, and also make the scale adjustable.

Also, make sure you are mounting the unit in a location where it has a clear view of the sky. How many satellites are locked in your data?
