MoTeC VCS - Manual (Page 13)

MoTeC Configuration 9
The Autostart configuration templates start recording when internal battery
voltage is detected. To stop recording, the VCS should be turned off.
The Speed or RPM start configuration templates start recording when engine
RPM > 1000 rpm or Speed > 10 km/h is detected. They will automatically stop
recording when engine RPM = 0 for 20 seconds.
There are templates available that include or exclude gauges and record with
or without PIP (Picture in Picture).
When using a 'hundred series' ECU for data logging, the M800 template
should be used. This template uses the five channels in the M800 dataset.
See Configure a MoTeC 'hundred series' ECU
