TrackVision now supports the extensive range of logger systems from Advantage Motorsports

The Advantage Motorsports team have produced a terrific solution that provides a straightforward Export to TrackVision facility AND a facility to automatically produce a custom TrackVision logger properties file to match your specific logger model & channel setup. This is a first. It would be terrific if other logger vendors could get their act together as nicely as this.

Here are the highlights and a quick look at how it works:

- Download and install the latest version of AMDAS for XP from this link.

- Retrieve your logger data into AMDAS, and Save the file

- Click the File menu, then click Export Data. The first step is to select the channels and the sample rate for the export file:



- Use Add, Remove, Add All, Remove All to select the channels to export

- The Export Data Rate is set to a maximum of 20Hz, which is all you need for video. Higher sample rates create extra large export files containing lots of data samples that are not used.

- Check Create TrackVision File to export your data for TrackVision

- Check Create TrackVision Property File if this is the first time you have exported, or if you have selected a new group of channels to export

- Click OK to create your files



- You will see this Save File for TrackVision dialog for your exported data file AND a second time for your Properties file if you checked that box.

- Save your AMDAS TrackVision Data File (*.csv) in the folder C://Program Files/Apex Visualizations/TrackVision/projects/LoggerFiles

- Save your TrackVision logger properties file (*.properties) in the folder C://Program Files/Apex Visualizations/TrackVision/loggers

Now, everything is ready to use TrackVision:

- Open TrackVision.

- If you have Saved a new logger.properties file, click Edit/Preferences, and select Advantage Motorsports Ultimate 30 Data V3.4b from the Logger Models list. Click OK to make this your default logger properties.

- In the Data Logger Input panel, click the ... box and select the exported data file you just Saved.

- In the Video Input panel, click the ... box and select the video file from the same session as your data file.

You are now ready to synchronize and merge the data with the video. For detailed info on this, click Help/Help Topics on the TrackVision menu bar, then click Synchronization and Editing.
