V500 Data Recorder
For
those who thrive on information we have the V500 data recorder. This recorder
shares all the same capabilities as its smaller siblings in the V series,
but it tops the charts when it comes to the number of channels it can support,
and the amount of memory it houses. Additionally, the V500 contains another
option not found in the other V series recorders, such as the ability to monitor
ignition timing. For those reasons the V500 is popular in applications such
as Pro Stock drag racing, oval and road racing, and all forms of endurance
racing.
The
V500 is capable of monitoring up to 48 channels of information. Of these,
32 will be acquired over the V-Net, 8 will be input through the hardwire digital
ports, and 8 will be hardwired analog. There are also three sensors that are
internally mounted within the V500, an accelerometer, a lateral G-meter***,
and battery voltage.
Sampling
rates are user programmable up to 100 times per second on the V-net, and up
to 1000 times per second on the hard wired analog ports. Sample rates on the
digital ports are 100/second for RPM and switch contacts, and timing intervals
are within 1/1000th of a second.
The
V500 data recorder is equipped with two megabytes of memory. It can be ordered
with an optional upgrade to four megabytes.
In
spite of its mass of capabilities the V500 is still compact and light. The
anodized aluminum case measures just 1.215 x 5.350 x 5.550 and weighs only
17 ounces.
Displaying
the information gathered by the V500 can be done in a variety of methods.
Primary to these is viewing the recorded data on the screen of a PC or laptop.
Uploading the data to a recorder is accomplished using either the serial cable
or the optional data cartridge (see software section for complete details).
A secondary method of viewing monitored information is via real time display
on your computer screen. Unique to V Series recorders is the ability to view
up to ten monitored functions as they occur. The screen for real time viewing
resembles a dynamometer-style gauge and graph display. Recorded data is displayed
on the popular Racepak graph and numeric screen. A final option for viewing
monitored data is by equipping your V-Net system with Intelli-Gauges. These
gauges will provide real time display, plus they can be used to recall and
playback recorded data. All V500 recorders come with the DataLink Lite software
and serial cable. Optional upgrades are available.
