==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, an emphasis on outputs as well as inputs, and on-board Lua scripting that lets you define custom behaviors. The ability to perform data acquisition while controlling other devices and systems, coupled with flexible end-user customization offers an 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.
