			These quick start instructions will get you logging data in 10 minutes with 50Hz GPS and 30Hz accelerometer and Yaw sensor sampling rate.

			Let's begin!
			==RaceCapture/Pro mk2 Quickstart Guide==

			===Get a memory card===
			* Find yourself a memory card between 2 and 32GB in capacity. Not required, but bonus points for formatting and removing clutter.
			* Push it in to the slot until it's seated.
			** The card slot is a "push-in / "push-out" design like a clicky ball-point pen; the card is properly seated when it's in the innermost position.

			===Secure===

			Mount RaceCapture/Pro securely to your car.

			* Ideally mount the unit flat and in the center of to get the best effect from the built-in Yaw Sensor.
			* If you're desperate for a quick test, there's no shame in bungie-ing / rubber-banding it to your arm rest!

			===GPS===

			* Place the GPS antenna on the roof of the car via it's magnetic mount.
			* Connect the GPS antenna to the RaceCapture/Pro
			* For a quick test, just toss the GPS module onto the dash or the floor of the car!

			===Power===

			Provide power to RaceCapture/Pro. You can do this in several ways:
			* Hard-wire it to a 9-24v power source, such as your car's electrical system.
			TBC** RaceCapture/Pro consumes very little power when running (about 100mA) so you can tap into most any existing circuit that has an ignition switched voltage source.

			* Power it from a USB charge port in your car
			** Use the included USB cable to connect to a USB charge connection in your car.
			** Since the USB cable can vibrate loose, this is a quick and dirty solution, and we only recommend it for ad-hoc testing!

			* Power it via USB from your computer
			** It gets boring quickly, but this is good if you want to just 'bench test' the system.

			===Verify===
			Turn the power on to the unit and wait until the lights on the front panel indicate the unit's state:
			* Lower Left LED: Steady green when the unit has power.
			* Lower Right LED: Flashes once per second when acquiring GPS lock.
			* Lower Right LED: Flashes ten times per second when GPS lock is acquired.

			===Log===
			Once you have GPS lock, press the button on the front to start logging data!
			* The default configuration of RaceCapture/Pro is to log 50Hz GPS and 30Hz accelerometer and yaw.
			* There are ways to automatically start/stop logging! see our [[RaceCapturePro_HowTo\|How-To guide]] for more information
			* You should see the upper right LED flashing rapidly, indicating data is being written to the card.
			** If you see the red light appear, there was a problem writing to the SD card. Verify you have a card that's in good shape (you can read/write to it) and it's fully inserted.

			===Rinse/Repeat===
			You can start stop logging as much as you want. Each time logging starts, a new numbered log file is created on the SD card.

			===View / Analyze===
			Load the log file into the [[RaceCapturePro_SoftwareOperation\|Race Analyzer]] software, or, you can manually analyse the raw data since the files are written in plain Comma Separated Values (CSV).
