V50
Data Recorder
To
call a V50 Recording/Playback module a data recorder is somewhat of a misnomer.
The V50 does not record. It is the V-Net modules that the V50 controls that
do the actual recording and storing of data. But when this system is put into
operation it behaves much like a data recorder, so who are we to argue when
others want to call it a data recorder. Hence we include it here in the data
recorder section.
A
V50 system will allow you to record up to 32 channels of digital or analog
information. This data can be displayed in a number of manners. The first
is through any Intelli-Gauges that may be part of the V-Net system. This data
is displayed in real time. By connecting the V50’s accompanying keypad you
can also recall any recorded data for display on the Intelli-Gauges. The recorded
data can be replayed in real time, fast forward, fast backward, step forward,
step backward, or you can just look at the minimum and maximum levels that
were observed during the recording period.
The
V50 Recording/Playback module also makes it possible for your V-Net system
to communicate with a laptop or PC. By installing the Racepak DataLink Data
Analysis software in your PC, and connecting the V50 to the computer with
a serial cable, the system will display real time or recorded data on the
screen. Real time displays can accommodate up to ten monitored functions,
while recorded data has no limit on the number of functions that can be displayed.
Real time displays are done through a dynamometer-style gauge and graph screen
view, while the recorded displays utilize the popular DataLink graph and numeric
screen image.
Sampling
rates for a V50 system are user programmable at either 10 or 25 samples per
second. Real time display has no time limit, but recording
data for display at a later date will be limited by the sample rate chosen.
At 10 samples per second you will have 800 seconds of recording time available,
while 25 samples per second will yield 320 seconds of recording time.
Due
to their modular expandability the V50 systems have proven extremely popular
as so-called starter systems. Someone new to data acquisition can purchase
a bare bones minimum system, then add to its capability as their needs or
budget dictates.
