Product Description
At last. A practical handbook on how to choose and operate datalogging equipment and get the full benefit from what it tells you. Aimed at the amateur competitor, it covers hardware and software and takes over where the manufacturers instructions run out. It shows how to understand what the data is telling you and how to use it to go faster. It covers standard information screens and shows you how to create your own charts and tables that will illuminate the performance of both the car, the driver and the team. On the way, it deals with systems management issues, how to get the quick and easy payoffs, and how to benefit in the long term. It explains how sensors work, how to fit them so they survive and to calibrate them. The final chapter is a Field Guide designed to help you run the system, trouble-shoot hardware and software problems and quickly interpret the output of the graphs under pressure during an event.

Not the best or the worst book on the subject but a good place to start. Of all the books I have on the subject (one is out of print)it is the third best.

Comparing this book to Competition Car Data Logging by Simon McBeath this is much more up to date. It also focuses more on consumer level loggers. It is worth the money paid for it and the time spent reading it. Great if this is the first book you get on Data logging.
