One of the best aspects of Dashware is the ability to create your own custom gauges. L8Apx thinks I've been a good this year, I might be using a GoPro Hero HD2 next season instead of the Chasecam/Sony combination. Throughout that time I have used a Sony Camcorder with external A/V inputs with a Chasecam camera for video, and a Traqmate for data acquisition. I have been using Dashware for a few years and really like it. Won't be using the data logger on the track until the spring so trying to decide which video/data acquisition program is best in the meantime.ĭunebasher sent me a PM asking me to weigh in on this thread. No screens to get distracted with and prevents the temptation of trying to beat the previous lap time. I like this setup as it is simply turn both devices on and drive. RaceRender is a few bucks cheaper, but they are both relatively inexpensive at less than $50.īTW, for DE and autocross events I am using a GoPro HD and a newly acquired Qstarz BT-Q1000eX GPS "lap timer" (really a data logger as it does not have a screen of any kind).
The main features that RaceRender has and Dashware doesn't that I think would be useful/nice to have are picture-in-picture, camera switching, and the ability to rotate the video (for those times when I forget that the GoPro is in upside down mode ). Dashware seems easier to use but has less features. I downloaded the free trial of both and messed around with each. I am trying to decide between purchasing Dashware or RaceRender.Īnyone have experience with either program? Recommendations? As with all motor parts professional installation is recommended.īuy unlimited PZ-Racing parts and pay shipping only for one.
By selecting an item on the menu it is possible to activate and deactivate the back light. Internal battery make the appliance particularly suitable when used on all those vehicles not provided with on board batteries, for example Supermotard, Kart, Scooter, etc.īack lit display: all chronometers have a rear illuminated display which can be used in times of bad visibility.
Using optional expansion module it is also possible to obtain up to 9 analogical and 3 digital channels.ĭata analysis software: RacePro is the latest state-of-the-art analytical software designed for Start Next, you can analyze the path and the performance for every single curve and also analyze all the analogical and digital channels connected to the lap timer.ĭOWNLOAD AND TRY RACEPRO: Internal battery: Start comes with an internal rechargeable lithium battery. The touch screen makes using Start simple and intuitive thanks to the icon menu.ģ split times: is able to manage and record up to three split times.ĭata acquisition: Start Next allow the attainment of trajectories and speed count through gps. Touch Screen:say goodbye to uncomfortable buttons, Start is equipped with a touch screen with “Gloves Sensitive” technology that allows use even with gloves. It is possible to connect both models to the Box Expander modules.ĥ0Hz GPS integrated receiver: the only lap timer in the world with a revolutionary 50Hz GPS receiver detecting the position 50 times per second Start is able to calculate lap times and draw trajectories with extreme accuracy. Start Next memorizes GPS trajectories, speed, the direction and acceleration thereby allowing riders to study and analyze their performance on the PC. Start Basic is the entry-level version, without data acquisition lap times are visualized directly on the display. Thanks to automatic detection and a global database, the circuit will be automatically detected by the chronometer without the need to press any key. The new range of chronometers use an SD memory card, thus eliminating data download times and reducing the probability of using up all the device memory. The new Start devices use a touch screen display with “Glove Sensitive” technology, allowing the rider to use the device even while wearing gloves, whilst the icon menu make navigation easy and intuitive. Start Basic and Start Next are the only chronometers in the world that use a GPS receiver with a sampling rate of 50Hz guaranteeing accuracy of lap times to one hundredth of a second and precision visualization of GPS trajectories which no other chronometer commercially available on the market today is capable of offering.
