Hi.

I have an SDL which is setup to display a trip meter in practice mode, and a lap counter in race mode and both these work fine. I have setup my acknowledge button so that when held for 3 seconds it resets the data, however it resets both of these at the same time which I would like to avoid.

Question is, is there a way (other than using a different button) that I can program the SDL so that it only resets the line item currently displayed on the SDL, or at least program buttons to distinguish between practice and race modes?

Cheers,
Brendan.

The easiest way to do this would be to add the page channel to your reset conditions. The channel 'ADL Display Mode' will have the value of 0 when the Race page is shown, 1 for Practice and 2 for Warmup.

So your conditions would be:

Lap counter reset = 'Acknowledge Button' True for 3 seconds AND 'ADL Display Mode' == 0
Trip meter reset = 'Acknowledge Button' True for 3 seconds AND 'ADL Display Mode' == 1

Thanks Adrian, but I can't find the display mode conditions.

Here's a screen shot of what I get when searching 'di' to bring up all options for the word 'display'.



Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this only available on the ADL and not the SDL?

Cheers.

Go to the display setup (Functions>Display) and click on the channels tab. Make sure the 'Display Mode' channel box is ticked.

Hey thanks Adrian.

Ticking that box did the trick, and ADL display mode now appears. Car isn't mobile at the moment so I can fully test, but I'm sure it will work

One last question, is there any way to overlay dash data on a video file recorded on a non Motec camera (such as a GoPro) when with only standard logging is enabled? Just seem like an expensive exercise to get pro logging just to be able to do this. There are 3rd party programs around which so far seems to be the cheapest option I can find.

Cheers,
Brendan.

Do you want to put data on your video, have the video synced in your analysis software?

To put data onto the video there are several choices, everything from recorders that can do this (MoTeC Video Capture System, AiM SmartCAM with ECU bridge, ChaseCAM Diva, etc), to software that post-processes data files onto video streams ( like RaceRender.com and www.trackvision.net).

If you want to import video into your I2 Analysis software, you will either need a MoTeC VCS or to have ProAnalysis enabled (either through computer license or device enable).

Thanks David. Yes I'm only looking to overlay my dash data on to a video file.

I had already looked in to TrackVision, but will also look into RaceRender and see which one I prefer.
