V300 Data Recorder
One
of the most popular recorders in the new V series is this V300 model. Due
to its range of capabilities, and its generous supply of memory, it is suitable
for almost any application. Dollar for dollar it is one of the best bargains
on the data acquisition market. The V300 has gained widespread popularity
among all sportsmen classes of drag racing, and with oval and road race teams
that desire an affordable test platform.
The
V300 is loaded with features. It can record up to 40 channels of information.
Of these, 32 will be acquired over the V-Net, 4 will be hardwired analog,
and 4 will be hardwired digital. Sampling rates are user programmable up to
100 per second, with the exception of the hardwired analog channels, which
can sample up to 1000 times per second. Timing intervals are within 1/1000th
of a second.
Memory
capacity for the V300 is fixed at a full megabyte. This is far greater than
the amount required by most drag racers, and is sufficient to handle many
oval track and road race applications.
There
are three sensors housed within the small 1.215 x 3.150 x 3.935 case. These
internal sensors include an accelerometer, a lateral G-meter***, and battery
voltage. The entire V300 package weighs only 10 ounces.
As
with other V series recorders the V300 can access both digital and analog
signals through its V-Net port, while the other two ports are reserved for
either digital or analog input individually.
Downloading
information from the V300 can be accomplished via two different methods. The
standard method is by serial cable link to a PC or laptop. An optional method
is by data cartridge transfer. The data cartridge download is not available
for laptops (see software section for more details on data cartridge download).
All
V300s come equipped with the Racepak DataLink Lite data analysis software.
This software allows you to view your recorded data on PC or laptop in a graph
and numeric format. The combination of the V300 and the DataLink also permits
you to display up to ten monitored functions on your computer screen for real
time viewing. Additional real time display can be accomplished by integrating
Intelli-Gauges into your V-Net system.
All
V300 data recorders come equipped with a digital port wiring harness (engine
RPM sensor), a driveshaft RPM sensor with split collar & magnet kit, a
V-Net Tee connector with cable , DataLink Lite software with serial cable,
and an instruction manual.
