4 M2-Dash The M2-Dash display, shown in Fig. 1, can be connected to the Drack data loggers or to the MyChronPro data logger. Fig. 1 M2-Dash The display will show rpm, two temperatures, wheel speed and lap time. It then records the maximum values for every lap. WARNING. Only temperature channels with thermocouple sensors can be shown. The display has two rows in the first row the two temperatures are shown, in the second row the speed (on the left) and the rpm (on the right) are displayed. If the maximum rpm value introduced in the Daily setup is higher than the displayed value is divided by 10, for example is shown as When the track side beacon is passed the display shows in the first row the lap time (the BE will appear when it is the best lap of the session up to that lap) and in the second row the test number T## and the lap number L##. This visualisation is shown for approximately 8 seconds. Connected to the Drack Drack Running the Configuration-Display command from the main menu of the Race Studio program it is possible to select the M2-Dash as the Drack display and to select also the channels to display (one speed and two temperatures). For more information about the configuration of the display from the Race Studio see the Software manual Configuration for Drack. Connected to the MyChronPro MyChronPro Running the Configuration-Display command from the main menu of the Race Studio program it is possible to select the M2-Dash as the MyChronPro display. It is not possible to select the channels to display because of the MyChronPro acquires one speed and two temperatures, for more information about the configuration of the display from the Race Studio see the Software manual Configuration for MyChronPro.

5 Main menu The display provides a main menu that is accessed by pressing the [MENU] button. You can switch from one menu item to the next by pressing the [MENU] button. Pressing the [VIEW] button at any time the display will return to the default visualisation. Light Pressing the [CONF] button will turn on/off the back light. When the motor is running, you can turn the light on by pressing the [MENU] button only. Total run The display keeps a separate timer for the total time on the motor and total distance travelled, these numbers are displayed here. The total time accumulates time a rpm signal is present to the input of the data logger. The total distance is accumulated by the wheel travel. Press the [MEM] button to display the totals. To clear totals, press [CONF] or [MEM], then, at the prompt press [MEM] to confirm. Clear testdata Reserved function for test only. Daily setup First of all the maximum rpm value has to be input. Enter here a value that is about 10% more than the maximum rpm value reached by the engine This is a small menu that allows configuring the warning LED s for rpm and temperatures. Pressing the [CONF] button it is possible to edit the daily setup items. Flash_1 through Flash_5 items allow configuring the rpm warning LED s. These LED s can be individually configured to come on at a specific rpm. To configure the value, use the [NEXT] button to increase the number of the flashing digit. Toggle to the next digit by pressing the [CONF] button. Press the [MENU] button and repeat for each desired LED. Temp_1 and Temp_2 items allow configuring warning LED s (one for each temperature) as an alarm. If the temperature reaches the alarm value you have configured, the LED will light and continue to blink until the value goes below that value. Toggle to the next digit by pressing the [CONF] button. Press the [MENU] button and repeat for temperature 2. Mode This item allows changing an internal parameter of the device. Data recall To enter the data review mode, press [MEM]. The display will first show the best lap in the session, it is indicated by the BE to the left of the lap time. Press the direction keys to move forward [>>] or backward [<<] through the lap times. To view the maximum channel values for the lap currently on the display, press the [MEM] button. You will see the maximum values for each channel. View Pressing the [View] button the data of the last lap are shown. IMPORTANT. The data recorded in the display are cleaned when they are deleted from the connected data logger, when this operation is performed the Done string is shown. The Total Run is not affected by this operation.

6 Light-Dash The Light-Dash display, shown in Fig. 2, can be connected to the Drack data loggers. Fig. 2 Light-Dash The display will show rpm, two temperatures, wheel speed and lap time. It then records the maximum values for every lap. The display has five big digits for displaying the rpm, three small digits, on the left, for displaying the speed and two temperatures alternatively. When the track side beacon is passed the display shows in the big digits the lap time for approximately 8 seconds. To configure the Light-Dash as the Drack display and to select also the channels to display (one speed and two temperatures) run the Configuration-Display command from the main menu of the Race Studio program. For more information about the configuration of the display from the Race Studio see the Software manual Configuration for Drack. Total run The display keeps a separate timer for the total time on the motor, this number is displayed here. The total time accumulates time a rpm signal is present to the input of the data logger. Press the [MENU] button then the [CONF] button the Total Run time is displayed. To clear Total Run, press [CONF] again, then, at the prompt press [MEM] to confirm any other button makes the display shows the main visualisation. Data recall To enter the data review mode, press [NEXT]. The big digits display will first show the best lap in the session. It is indicated by the BST to the left of the lap time. Then, pressing every time the [NEXT] button, the following values will be sequentially shown maximum engine value of the best lap, maximum engine value of the test, maximum speed value of the test, maximum temperature #1 value of the test and maximum temperature #2 value of the test. The big digits display shows the channel values, the small digits display shows the number of the lap. Press the direction keys to move forward [>>] or backward [<<] through the lap times. For each lap the lap time and the maximum engine value are automatically shown.

7 View Pressing the [VIEW] button the lap time of the last one is always shown. IMPORTANT. The data recorded in the display are cleaned when they are deleted from the connected data logger, when this operation is performed the Done string is shown. The Total Run is not affected by this operation.

8 DashChron The DashChron dashboard, shown in Fig. 3, can be connected to the Drack data loggers. Fig. 3 DashChron The DashChron shows the rpm in the analog meter, one temperature in the display near the analog meter, the lap time and the value of another channel (selected among three different analogue channels and the speed) in the big display. Configuration The DashChron is a fully configurable dashboard the configuration is made from the Race Studio program. From the main window of the Race Studio choose the item Configuration Display then select the DashChron device and the window shown in Fig. 4 is displayed. Fig. 4 Configuration of the DashChron

9 The Measures group allows selecting the channels that will be shown on the dashboard. They are a speed channel and four analogue channels. For the first and the second channels only temperature measures are allowed, for the third and the fourth channels only temperature and pressure measures are allowed. The first channel will be shown in the display (1) of Fig. 4, the other analogue channels and the speed can be shown in the display (2) of Fig. 4; this selection is performed on the dashboard pressing the [CONF] button. REMEMBER. The display (3) of Fig. 4 will always show the lap time. The Alarms group allows configuring the four alarms LED s of the dashboard. Each analogue channel can have a minimum and a maximum alarm. For any alarm it is possible to input the threshold value ( Minimum and/or Maximum fields) and the LED that will be light when the threshold value will be reached (the # field). Fig. 4 shows that the channel #1 has a minimum alarm (40 is the threshold value) and a maximum alarm (95 is the threshold value) for both the LED number 4 will be light, all the other alarms are disabled. The Gear Flash group allows configuring the five Gear Flash LED s of the dashboard. For each LED it is possible to input the rpm threshold value. Different values or the same value for all the LED s can be input. When the configuration is ended it must be sent to the Drack data logger, the Configuration Transmission to the logger command of the main menu has to be run.
