\"Dinner<\/a>

Dinner Run Click to Enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

Got the RaceLogic PerformanceBox in the mail today.\u00a0 Not really a good time for a real acceleration run, but I got it setup in the Cadillac CTS.\u00a0 Out of the box a registration code from the RaceLogic website has to be entered into the Performancebox to enable all features.\u00a0 That done, I left the unit on and went to pickup dinner.\u00a0 The unit records to an SD card if available, and the RaceLogic folks were kind enough to toss in a 2G SD card in exchange for taking an online survey on the purchase.\u00a0 I grabbed the dinner sack, the SD card out of the Performancebox, and plugged the latter in to my PC so I could play with the data file while I ate.<\/p>\n

Not much fun acceleration or g-force data in traffic, but it was very easy to save off a google earth datafile from the datalogged, and to load the file up in google earth.\u00a0 This resulted in a nice map plot with my dinner route.\u00a0 Then I saved off the google earth result as an image (jpg) file and loaded it here.\u00a0 Fun.<\/p>\n

The route varied somewhat in altitude, but we are around 500ft above sea level.\u00a0 Looks like 6 or 7 GPS satellites were visible at different times during the trip.\u00a0 The unit acts as a continuous digital speedometer.\u00a0 Nothing to hit or push to start a data run, as it is logging data continuously.\u00a0 Just stop to 0 mph, then accelerate to the desired test velocity.\u00a0 You get an instant readout of summary info on the gadget while in the car, and a detailed data file to analyze back on the PC.<\/p>\n

Because the unit is a continuous data logger, I am hopeful that it will be an easy tool to baseline lateral acceleration as I upgrade the suspension on my 2005 Cadillac CTS with components from the 2005 Cadillac CTS-V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
