Data Logging:

   The Micro Pod and Pro units come with two (2) Gigabytes of standard on-board nonvolatile FLASH memory to store dozens and dozens of tracks sessions. That could be an entire racing season logged on your Micro Pod or Pro unit without writing over any existing file! All engine vitals as well as all other inputs can be logged. Each input channel can be logged at any of the selectable sample rates. The Micro Pod and Pro units automatically over samples by four times and averages the data to get extremely accurate results. This feature guarantees you data that is more accurate than any other system on the market. The CAN data as well as the GPS data is logged.
Two (2) Gigabytes Standard Data Storage Memory (Factory Expandable)
Data 4x Over Sampled And Averaged For Accuracy
Data Sampled Up To 400 Hz Per Channel
Data Logged Up To 100 Hz Per Channel

Programmable Auto Start/Stop Logging Features
