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.
Learn how to establish a repeatable drag racing baseline by evaluating 60-foot consistency, vehicle behavior, and changing track and weather conditions before making tuning adjustments. This guide explains how tools like PDS Caliper help compare runs, identify inconsistencies, and separate real performance changes from random variation—so every pass gives you meaningful information and every adjustment moves your program forward.
Learn how to create a safe, stable, and repeatable drag racing setup that produces clean data without wasting valuable track time. This guide covers launch consistency, air/fuel and timing stability, weather conditions, and run-to-run repeatability—plus how PDS data analysis can help separate real tuning signals from random variation. Because before you chase speed, you need a baseline you can trust.
Understanding the difference between Zero Crossing (VR) and Hall Effect sensors is critical for accurate motorsports data logging. Each sensor type has unique advantages for measuring Clutch RPM, TDC RPM, Driveshaft RPM, and Wheel Speed. Learn how these sensors work, how they differ, and how proper installation, air gap, wiring, and trigger selection can improve data quality, signal reliability, and tuning accuracy.
Learn how air temperature and track temperature affect drag racing performance—and how to determine whether a change in ET came from power, traction, or both. Air temperature affects engine power and MPH, while track temperature can directly impact traction and 60 ft performance. This guide shows you how to use 60 ft, ET, MPH, air temperature, density altitude, and track temperature to diagnose performance changes and make smarter tuning decisions with your race data.
