==Open Source Data Acquisition and Control==
'''Autosport Labs is excited to announce our latest project: RaceCapture/Pro - a powerful, multi-channel data acquisition and control system for motorsport applications'''
==Impact==
RaceCapture/Pro transcends most traditional "Data Logging" systems by virtue of its powerful processor and emphasis on outputs as well as inputs. The ability to perform data acquisition while controlling other devices and systems, coupled with flexible end-user customization offers a unprecedented level of capability.


==Significance==
==Getting Started==
While the primary application of RaceCapture/Pro is focused towards race car data acquisition, its powerful processor combined with a wealth of inputs and outputs also makes RaceCapture/Pro a general purpose automotive computer, one capable of handling many different tasks - limited only by your imagination.  If the question is "Can RaceCapture do ...?" the answer will likely be 'Yes' and often with little to no external hardware support necessary.
