To insert an SD card into the DL-32, push it into the SD card slot until it “clicks” in. To remove the
SD card, push on it to “unclick” it. It will pop out.
To read an SD card with a computer, you will need an SD card reader. Those are available in
most computer stores. They typically connect to a USB port on your computer.
A SD card inserted into an SD card reader on your computer will appear on your computer as a
removable mass storage device. To find it, open on your computer the “my Computer Icon”. It will
be listed there.
4.3 Logs and Sessions
Different to other data logging products, the DL-32 organizes the acquired data in logs and
sessions. A session is a contiguous data set. This means there is no interruption in the data
stream and all data points are spaced equally in time (81.92ms apart). Each time you start
logging, a new session is created and the session ends when the logging stream is stopped.
A log is a collection of sessions. In a typical qualifying race or tuning session multiple runs are
made, and each run is data logged. The DL-32 conveniently organizes these runs into a common
log. The sessions in a log are numbered from 1 through x. Typically they are sequential in time,
starting with the oldest session as session 1 and so on. Each log is stored in a separate file on
the SD-card. Each session can later be renamed with LogWorks 2 so it does reflect something
more meaningful than just a numbered sequence.
In addition each SD-card log contains information about the settings of all devices connected to
the log chain connected to the DL-32 serial IN port.
Log Files are named by the DL-32 with the date at which the first session of a log was recorded,
and in addition a log sequence number. Up to 100 log files can thus be created in a single day.
The file name of a DL-32 recorded log file looks like this:
MMDDYYCC.d32
Where MM is the month, DD is the day of the month, YY is the year, and CC is the log count of
that day.
For example the first log recorded on March 15, 2006 is named 03150600.dl32.
There is no limit (other than memory size) on the number of sessions in a log. All sessions are
tagged individually with the time and date when recording was started in the session.
Normally the DL-32 will add a new session to the existing log file every time you start recording.
Unless:
1. The channel settings of the DL-32 changed from the last recorded log.
2. A channel setting of another device that the DL-32 records on the log-chain changed
3. Devices have been added or removed from the log chain.
4. The user forces a new log file (see next chapter).
4.4 Start/Stop Recording
You can start/stop recording with a pushbutton connected to the REC port of the DL-32,
connected as described in chapter 4.1.
