ACL (Advanced Central Logger)
e ACL performs data logging, data communica-
tions and sophisticated calculations, as well as acquiring sensor
data via the VIM expander modules. It also collects data from
other connected devices such as MoTeC ADL2, SDL or ECU.
e ACL has a very large logging capacity (1GB+)
with fast download via an Ethernet connection. It provides all
the advanced features of MoTeC ’s ADL2 Dash Logger, includ-
ing warning alarms, fuel prediction, engine logs, timers, tables,
user conditions, telemetry and more.
A remote display device such as MoTeC’s MDD,
ADL2 and SDL can also be connected, as well as the SLM
(Shift Light Module)

SVIM (Synchronous Versatile Input Module)
e new SVIM shares similar features with the VIM but is precisely synchronised, acquir-
ing data of the highest integrity for use in advanced chassis and suspension analysis. It
samples its eighteen 15 bit inputs at the same instant using 18 separate converters with
fifth order anti-aliasing filters. e filters ensure that signals can be properly reconstructed
to use in calculations such as FFT (Fast Fourier Transform).
VIM (Versatile Input Module)
e VIM is a compact and versatile input expander module with high resolution inputs.
Multiple VIMs may be connected to the ACL Central Logger via a two wire CAN con-
nection, allowing for more than 200 sensor inputs. e distributed nature of the VIMs
wired onto the CAN bus allows them to be located close to the connected sensors, mini-
mizing wiring complexity and weight.
It has 24 Analog inputs of various types including eight differential inputs with program-
mable gain which are suitable for strain gauges and isolated thermocouples.
