Learn how to create math channels in DataLink II that calculate shock velocity in inches per second for each shock travel sensor. This step-by-step guide walks you through creating derivative channels, configuring the correct expressions and units, and setting appropriate scaling—giving you a clearer view of how quickly your suspension is moving so you can make more informed tuning decisions.

Learn how to create a math channel in DataLink II to calculate vehicle speed using the G-Meter. By integrating acceleration data over time, you can calculate vehicle speed in MPH and add another valuable measurement to your race data. This guide walks you through creating the G/M MPH channel and configuring the G-Meter for accurate vehicle speed calculations.

Learn how to create a Distance math channel in DataLink II using G-Meter data. By integrating your calculated G/M MPH channel, you can determine how far the vehicle traveled in feet during a run. This guide walks you through creating the Distance channel and configuring the G-Meter settings for accurate distance calculations on every pass.

Learn how to create a Track Time or NHRA Time math channel in DataLink II that accounts for the timing system’s rollout delay. This step-by-step guide explains why logger time can differ from the elapsed time shown on your E.T. slip and how to create a corrected time channel for more accurate run analysis. Properly aligned track time also makes formulas like intervals, G-Meter MPH, and G-Meter distance easier to interpret—giving you a clearer picture of what actually happened down the track.
