Capabilities

Extreme flexibility comes with a powerful processor and a wealth of inputs and outputs.

Input and Output Channels

RaceCapture offers 20 input and output channels, enough to handle complex logging and control tasks.

  • 7 dedicated analog input channels
    • Measure sensors or process input from other devices.
  • 3 dedicated frequency input channels
    • Measure RPM, wheel speed, or any kind of periodic pulse. One channel is optically isolated for direct connection to ignition coil.
  • 4 configurable analog,digital or frequency output channels
    • Control other systems or even override OEM sensors
  • 3 configurable digital channels, settable for input or output
    • Receive input from switches; or configure as output and use to activate accessories or drive indicator lamps
  • Input for precision 3 channel accelerometer module (+/- 2G per axis, 3G optional)
    • Measure and log 3D G-Force in real-time with one of the industry's most accurate and precise accelerometers.
  • GPS module input
    • Add an external GPS module for course mapping
  • Auxiliary serial expansion port
    • Interface to future interactive dash/display

Logging

  • SD Memory card slot for data acquisition
    • Store up to 2GB of logging data

Power

  • Powerful 48MHz 32 bit ARM processor
    • Power to perform high resolution logging and running complex, user-defined logic

Mechanical

  • Compact, rugged design with good looks
    • Unit measures approximately 4 x 3 inches (100 x 82 mm)
  • Easy to use screw terminal block for wiring
  • On-board 'action' switch to start/stop logging (or other use)
  • On-board Status LEDs

The Intangibles

Flexibility

Unprecedented ability to customize logging and define behavior for user-outputs.

  • Customize logging channels and frequency
  • Control outputs based on the logic YOU define
  • Powerful PC software to customize, view and analyze data

Infinite Possibilities

  • Far more than a data-logging system: flexible Inputs and Outputs coupled with a powerful processor offers endless customization
  • Share configurations, tips and ideas with our online community
  • Open development process, frequent software updates and end-user customizable!
