Data logging -
Data acquisition is the sampling of the real world
to generate data that can be manipulated by a computer.
Sometimes abbreviated DAQ or DAS, data acquisition
typically involves acquisition of signals and waveforms
and processing the signals to obtain desired information.
The components of data acquisition systems include
appropriate sensors that convert any measurement parameter
to an electrical signal, which is acquired by data
acquisition hardware. Acquired data is displayed,
analyzed, and stored on a computer, either using vendor
supplied software, or custom setup.
AIM
– AIM have developed a family of products expressly
dedicated to car,
bike,
kart,
drag
and power boat racing, seeking for innovative solutions
to meet drivers' needs: from lap timers to data
loggers, from professional gauges, sensors
and displays to integrated audio/video
recording systems that allows them reviewing their
races on TV or PC.
Mychron
3 - A family of compact, reliable, high
value-for-money gauges made to satisfy all drivers’
needs, from amateurs to professionals.
Mychron
4 - MyChron4 is the new AIM data acquisition
system for karting;
it can increase acquired channels with one only cable
that connects MyChron4 to its Expansion box.
Mychron
TG - Your way to the track starts here!
Mychron Light is an easy-to-use, performing family
of small lap timers and loggers that will lead you
to the podium!
Mychron
4 660 - Improved post run review, newest
graphical display: MyChron4 660 is the evolution of
MyChron3 660, the milestone in the segment of junior
dragster
data loggers.
MXL
Strada - MXL Street is the last generation
gauge for use as a replacement dash designed with
AIM experience in the performance world.
MXL
Pista - MXL Race is the last generation
gauge with integrated 8mb data logger that merges
an appealing design with AIM experience in the race
world.
MXL
Pro - MXL professional is the last generation
gauge with integrated 16mb data logger that merges
an appealing design with AIM experience in the race
world.
MXL
QM - MXL QM is the professional digital dash
with integrated data acquisition system; thanks to
its huge memory, it allows you viewing, acquiring
and reviewing all your racing weekend data!
Evo
3 – The data logger: small, robust
and easy to install on any car is an essential help
for all drivers, from amateurs to professionals.
Evo
3 QM - EVO3 QM is the smallest, easiest to
install and configure data logger now available on
the market
David
- DaVid is the data/video acquisition system that
allows you rewinding your races through an innovative
video technology.
Multichron
- Time up to four racers simultaneously with Multichron
Gyro – The
Gyroscope sensor measures the angular rate change
about a single axis.
The use of this sensor allows generating accurate
track maps for bike applications only. Aim data loggers,
such as Drack, EVO 3, Mychron 3 bike, MXL, provide
predefined channels for the connection of this sensor.
GPS
- Data acquisition enters a new era: position, 3D
maps, speed, yaw rate, lateral and linear G-force,
automatic lap time and much more in a small, valuable
device.
LCU
- Air/Fuel ratio is important: take control of it
with LCU-ONE and make your engine run at its best!
E box
-
Memory
key
– Memory Key is a very useful instrument that
allows the user to immediately record data sampled
by AIM loggers during test session and races.
Data
hub - Data Hub is the new CAN connection
multiplier that works as an interface between AIM
logger (MXL/EVO3 Pro) and its peripheral equipments.
Thermocouple -
Aim instruments can measure and record the water temperature
using a sensor (thermocouple) positioned in the pipe
from radiator to cylinder.
All Aim thermocouples are K-type sensors.
Thermo
resistor - Aim instruments can measure and
record the water temperature using a sensor (thermo
resistor) positioned in the pipe from radiator to
cylinder.
Oil Pressure sensor
- This sensor is used to measure the Oil pressure.
It is composed of a M10 * 1 threaded cylinder, which
has to be screwed to the engine, and two connectors
in the upper part (pressure signal and GND).
If the threaded hole inside the engine is larger than
the sensors threaded cylinder, we suggest using nipples.
We suggest to firmly screw it to the engine, to avoid
possible un-screwing due to engine’s vibrations.
Steering potentiometer
- Aim instruments can measure the relative displacement
between two different points using a sensor (potentiometer)
directly connected to the two measure points.
This sensor may be used to measure angular displacements,
such as:
• Steering column position.
Suspension
potentiometer - Aim instruments can measure
the relative displacement between two different points
using a sensor (potentiometer) directly connected
to the two measure points.
This sensor may be used to measure linear displacements,
such as:
• Suspension spring cushion compression or extension.
• Steering column rotation measured by rack
displacement.
Optical
lap receiver - The infrared receiver, mounted
on the vehicle, receives the lap signal from the infrared
transmitter. It simply needs to be pointed at the
side of the track where the transmitter is located
and needs line of sight.
The strong transmitter signal guarantees almost no
missing laps signals in traffic, as the signal “bounces”
off nearly everything.
Optical lap transmitter - The Infrared transmitter,
or Beacon as it is often called, is set near the edge
of the track to trigger a lap time to the onboard
system of a passing vehicle.
All beacons have a common frequency so one only transmitter
per track is required.
The beacon transmitter may be powered by the internal
battery pack, composed of 8 AA batteries, or by a
12 V external power source.
Lateral Accelerometer
- The external accelerometer sensor measures the acceleration
of the vehicle.
This sensor allows generating accurate track maps;
it is for car / snow mobile applications and is supported
by Evo 3, Mychron 3 Auto, and MXL.
