IQ3 Data Logger Dash Installation Manual

IQ3 Logger Dash Functions

The IQ3 Logger Dash is the main component of the data system, as it contains the data logger,

512MB memory card, GPS board and G meters.

IQ3 Logger Dash Configuration File

The Configuration File contains the programming settings for both the dash and any internal

and external sensors utilized by the IQ3 Logger Dash. Any additional sensors that were not

shipped with the IQ3 Logger Dash will require updating the Configuration file.

Logging Start and Stop

Any active channel may be used to start logging. From the factory, the IQ3 is programmed to

start logging at 25 GPS MPH (40 KPH) and stops logging when no speed is detected for at least

30 seconds. A data file is written each time the vehicle exceeds the start logging speed

following at least 30 seconds of no speed, and is numbered in subsequent order (1,2,3,etc). The

start logging channel may be changed to any valid sensor channel, by the user.

Download Data

Data is stored on a 5128MB microSD flash card supplied with the IQ3, and is downloaded via a

customer supplied microSD flash card reader to the user’s PC utilizing the DataLink software.

DataLink Software

The DataLink software is used to both set up (configure) the IQ3 data logger and provide the

ability to download and analyze data. Data stored on the microSD flash card is downloaded and

converted into a format (.rpk) that is recognized by the DataLink software. This .rpk file is then

saved to the user’s PC, for analysis.
