The analysis window is the main area of the MX2 software. This window shows the values of the acquired channels in a graph format. FINISH LINE LAP BAR Y AXIS X AXIS ASSE X SPLIT TIME LINEAR MAP It is possible to add more channels to be displayed on the main window, or to create tabs onto which to distribute all the channels to be analysed in the most suitable way.
ENGLISH TAB 2: SUSPENSION CHANNELS TAB 3: SPEED AND ACCELERATION CHANNELS If an individual lap is being analysed, each channel is represented with a different colour graph. If this is not the case, and several laps are being analysed at the same time, the graphs are represented with the colours of the corresponding laps. The analysis window is also composed of the following elements: • Y axis: this shows the scale and the name of each channel displayed, using the same colour as the graph.
The main toolbar is situated at the top of the program window and allows the user quick access to the most commonly used software functions.
3.2.5 Overview window (overview bar) ENGLISH The default position of the overview window is in the bottom left-hand corner of the window. This area provides an overview of the session used, listing the available laps and displaying the graphs of the channels selected for the whole session.
ANALYSIS CURSOR REFERENCE CURSOR If the finish line and split points have been added to the track, they will be visible in the Track Bar as grey lines which divide the track. FINISH LINE SPLIT POINTS DATA MANAGER - GET DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE rev. 01 2013 - GET by Athena Evolution - All rights reserved 13 ENGLISH If MX2 is in measurement mode, a circle-shaped indicator with the colour of the lap selected will appear automatically.
3.2.7 Creating and managing projects ENGLISH The MX2 software uses project files to manage the set of data and settings used. The session loaded, the channels used and the display and track settings are specified in these files. Through the project files, it is possible to save the program mode in order to recall it later on. This allows the user to ensure that the working environment used at the moment when the project was saved is always available.
Once a new project has been created or an existing project opened, it is possible to add laps by selecting the sessions to be used. In order to select a session from those which are available, it is necessary to open the browser bar from the left-hand navigation bar. If the window is opened in the minimised format, expand it by clicking on the arrow positioned in the top right-hand corner of the window itself.
ENGLISH When a session is selected, the laps available are listed in the control on the right, while in the bottom lefthand corner, a preview of the course to which the session refers is displayed. In the list of the available laps, the lap number, corresponding time and any notes are present for each heading. The fastest lap of the session is shown in red.
ENGLISH For each heading, the list containing all the laps added to the project summarises the information regarding the lap itself and the corresponding session, in order to identify all the laps listed with precision and speed. LAPS ADDED TO THE PROJECT For each lap added to the project, a tab is also created in the overview window. By clicking on each of these tabs, the corresponding lap will be loaded and the program interface will be updated with the corresponding data.
3.2.9 Displaying the channels ENGLISH After adding laps to the project, it is possible to select the channels to be displayed in the analysis window. In order to do this, it is necessary to open the channels window, by clicking on the corresponding symbol on the left-hand navigation bar. The first time the program is run, the window is opened in the minimised format, and therefore it is necessary to expand it by clicking on the arrow positioned in the top right-hand corner of the window itself.
The bottom of the window, on the other hand, offers a list of available channels for the session selected. VISIBLE FEATURE CHECKBOX SCALE FEATURE CHECKBOX ENGLISH PROGRESSIVE N° AND CHANNEL NAME CHANNEL SAMPLING FREQUENCY COLUMN OVER FEATURE CHECKBOX COLOUR FEATURE COLUMN MIN AND MAX COLUMNS Each channel is identified by a progressive number, a name and an icon which refers to the type of channel.
3.2.9.1 Ordering by name or by number ENGLISH By clicking on the column showing the number or name of the channel, the list is automatically ordered by number or name respectively. As the default setting, the list has ordering by number, nevertheless ordering by name may be useful if many channels are available for the session in use. CHANNEL NAME COLUMN CHANNEL N° COLUMN 3.2.9.
The controls next to the Quick Search control allow the user to filter the channels based on their type. By selecting one or more headings from those available (Digital, Analog, Sys, Gps, Can, Math), the list is updated automatically, leaving only those channels belonging to the categories specified visible. CH. FILTERS 3.2.9.4 Creating a new tab The next control, the Add Tab button, allows the user to add a new tab to the analysis window.
3.2.10 Operations on the channels This paragraph describes the functions available in the channels window.

3.2.16.3 Comparing the laps ENGLISH If more than one lap is added to the project, the analysis window superimposes the graphs of different laps, dividing them by channel. In this way, it is possible to analyse the values of the channels belonging to different laps instant by instant. Use the alignment options described in the previous paragraph to move the individual graphs to the desired position, then use the measurement mode to read the values of the channels in the position indicated by the cursor. 3.
ENGLISH When the mouse button is released, a context menu appears from which it is possible to choose the heading Zoom, which allows the selected area to be enlarged, or choose the heading MaxMin, which generates a window with the maximum and minimum values of all the channels in the selected area. AREA ZOOM BUTTON CONTEXT MENU 3.2.16.5 Setting the X axis It is possible to set the X axis of the analysis window in time or position mode.
3.2.16.6 Locking the visualization scale between tabs ENGLISH In the analysis window, the use of the zoom functions on the graphs has no effect on the zoom of the graphs present in different tabs from the one selected. It is nevertheless possible to connect the zoom of all the tabs present in the analysis window, so that the same level of zoom is applied to all the tabs. In order to do this, it is necessary to activate the Lock visualization scale between tabs option, present on the View menu.
• • • • • • • Show horizontal cursor: to display a horizontal line at the point of intersection between the cursors and the graphs in the analysis window. Show cursor info: to display a numerical box which shows the value (relative to the position of the cursor) of the channel selected, when measurement mode is active. Show lap times: to display the time of each lap along the finish lines. Show lap times in the overview: to display the time of each lap in the overview window.
ENGLISH When the function is not activated, all the trajectories of the loaded session are superimposed on each other. In order to display the difference between the laps correctly, it may be necessary to zoom in on the course window. TRACK BAR WITH TRAJECTORY COMPARISON BETWEEN 2 LAPS 3.2.16.9 Zoom on the course window In order to display an enlargement of a specific part of the course, it is possible to enter in measurement mode (see point 6.7.
