Graphical Analysis is a window depicting graphs of various parameters that were logged during the session stored in the current log file. The graph options are defined in user templates to allow graphical views to be pre-defined and then selected as needed. Graphs can be toggled between a series of line charts and a single, combined graph, depending on user preferences. a dialog box is also displayed which shows the value of each parameter at the point indicated by the cursor.

Data can be shown as the entire session, entire lap, or zoomed to show a very small segment in detail. Laps can be overlaid to compare performance between different drivers, configurations, or track conditions. An inset track map will show the position on the track corresponding to the current cursor position with the currently viewed section highlighted.

Data from another log file may be overlaid to examine the effect of changing the vehicle setup, or to compare driving styles.

Data from most logged channels can be displayed in whatever units are preferred by the user. For example, oil pressure can be logged as PSI, displayed in kPa, and analysed in mm/Hg depending on the preferences of the team members. The user clicks the right mouse button on the 'data box' or on the graph label then selects the channel unit, and the desired measurement unit.

Track Map

The track map is a graphical representation of the circuit, upon which data recorded during a vehicle outing is displayed in an easy to understand format. This provides a useful tool to determine what is happening to the vehicle at a particular point on the circuit. The track map offers a number of reports for different analysis of session data.

The track map shown displays throttle usage, gear change points, maximum and minimum speeds, and braking points.

Histogram

To improve the efficiency of the tuning process, a histogram shows the relative time spent at any point in a sensor's operating range. For example, by viewing the engine RPM histogram, an engine tuner can see where the engine spends most of its time, and concentrate on those areas.

X-Y Graph

The X-Y graph generates a scatter plot that allows for comparison of any parameter against any other parameter. It is possible to select data that falls within selected values to further refine the analysis. The colour of the graph can be displayed in terms of a selected parameter. In the example below, RPM is plotted against oil pressure with the colour of the trace being the engine's temperature.

Virtual Dash

You can re-drive any lap in real time with all logged channels available for viewing. This can be a useful tool for viewing the inter-relationships between data.
