	'''~~Under construction~~''' ~~check back soon~~.		To analyze RaceCapture's logged data insert the sd card into a sd card reader and open RaceAnalyzer.

			Step to analyze:

			# Click File => Import Datalog <br>[[File:Importdatalog.png]]
			# Click Yes to 'No Race Event Loaded. Create a new one?' <br> [[File:Newraceevent.png]]
			# Name your race event and click Save <br> [[File:Nameraceevent.png]]
			# When the Import Datalog screen appears, click on the '...' button on the right, select your datalog file and click Open<br>[[File:Import.png]]
			# Click Next to continue
			# Enter the name for the datalog and a description if desired <br> [[File:Name datalog.png]]
			# Click Next
			# Select the channels you wish to import (by default all will be imported, which is usually fine) <br> [[File:Channels.png]]
			# Click Next
			# Click Import
			# Click Finish
			# Click the '+' next to the name of the datalog imported to view channels <br> [[File:Imported channels.png]]
			# To create a chart from a channel, click on a channel, click Charts and select the chart type <br> [[File:Create chart.png]]
			# Charts will appear at the bottom and are resizable and draggable.

			Try creating a few different types to see what works for you. Playback controls are above the channel list. To create a map chart, select both Latitude and Longitude and select the GPS view from the Charts menu.

			Here you can specify the SD logging mode and define what device is attached to the connectivity expansion port.

			*SD Logging Mode
			Currently only CSV file output format is supported.
			*Telmetry Mode
			Settings to specify what type of device is attached to the connectivity expansion port, and related parameters.

			''This area is under development and will be undergoing changes as telemetry features are further developed''

	====Scripting====		====Scripting====
			RaceCapture/Pro supports automation of system behaviors using the lightweight [http://www.lua.org/ Lua Scripting Language].

			[[Image:RA_scripting_config.png]]

			Use this editing window to read and write the Lua script you create. See the [[RaceCapturePro_LuaScripting\|Lua Scripting]] information page for details on creating your own custom behaviors.
