	DriverID Selector Switch allows you to easily select which driver is driving so that you can quickly and easily see who was driving in the data later by looking at the DriverID channel. Just assign each driver a number, and tell them to turn the switch to their number when they get in. You can also use this switch to automatically reset the session information (Fastest Lap Time, Session Duration, etc) each time a new driver gets in.

			==Lua Script to Reset Session when DriverID changes==
			You can have the session information (Session Time, Number of Laps, Best Time, Predicted Time, etc) reset when you select a different driver using the following Lua code in the Scripting Section of the Race Capture Settings.

			<pre>
			DriverID=1

			function checkDriverSwitch()
			local cDriverID = getChannel("DriverID")
			if cDriverID~=nil and cDriverID ~= DriverID then
			DriverID = cDriverID
			resetLapStats()
			end
			end

			function onTick()
			function checkDriverSwitch()
			end
			</pre>

	If it does not work properly, go back to the settings, change Precision to 2 and change the Mode to Raw. Write the config, and test again with the dashboard. Write down the Voltage for each position on the switch. To get an idea of what the mappings should be, take the number of resisters you used and divide 5V by that number to get the voltage spread between the positions on the switch. Set Precision back to 0 and Mode back to Mapped. The first number should always be 0V and the last should always be 5V, Use the values you found in your testing to map the 2nd position and 2nd from last position and then chose another position in the middle for the middle mapping.
