INTRODUCTION
EVO5
What is EVO5?
Which data does it
manage?
EVO5 is the evolution of the
traditional datalogger that, all over the
years, has become a standard de facto
acquisition system in a huge amount
of championships.
The top RGB LED, changing colour and
blinking frequency, tells you if EVO5 is
performing a firmUp, if it is in error, if it
is recording or not, is using a WiFi
connection or not.
EVO5 has two digital outputs you
can freely configure.
You can use a WiFi connection for
transmitting the data of your test,
sending data online and for
configuring the system.
Yes, MXL used to produce data in .DRK
format. EVO5 offers an improved data
management and produces .XRK
format that only Race Studio 3 can read.
Nevertheless, the last releases of
Race Studio 2 can detect .XRK files and
transform them into old .DRK format
files that are compatible with MXL1
and EVO4 files.
Data come from a wide range of
sources, including your vehicle ECU,
the internal accelerometers and gyro,
the GPS module included in the kit, the
analog/digital inputs, the external
expansions as well as predefined math
channels.
Many times you wish to get data not
only from your ECU but also from
other electronic devices you have in
your car.
The extra CAN is intended to offer this
possibility.
Why an extra CAN
connection?
.XRK, taking advantage of GPS
technology, associates absolute
time and GPS position to each data
with the precision of 1 millisecond.
In this way, it is possible to better
compare different laps and tests.
EVO5 stores data both in its memory
and on an SD card.
Download procedure can be easily
performed via WiFi or placing the SD
card in your PC.
What is the difference
between the old DRK
format and new .XRK?
What about Race Studio 3?
What are the differences

format and new .XRK?
How do I download
the data from my
EVO5
What is the LED
intended for?
Is there a digital
output ?
Why a WiFi connection?
Are EVO5 data compatible
with old MXL/EVO4
data?
Race Studio 3 is the new software for
managing configuration, data download
and data analysis for all the future AiM
systems.
It is going to substitute Race Studio 2,
which has accompanied us for almost 15
years.
Based on a totally new and much more
flexible architecture, it is a work in
progress as some features are
continuously improved.
We are going to upgrade it very often so,
