RECORD DATA

There are 2 ways to start and stop recording data.

1. Remote Start/Stop – Use full brake or steering to start recording

:

The Sentry Data Logger will need to be calibrated to your transmitter in 
order for the 

Remote Start/Stop

 feature to work properly.  This is 

configurable in the 

Customize ESC Input Signal

 dialog box.  To enable the 

Remote Start/Stop feature, you must make sure the Remote Start/Stop 
option is selected in the 

Device Setting

 dialog box.  The length of the brake 

hold time can be adjusted by changing the Remote Start/Stop Activation 
time.

NOTE

  The Remote Start/Stop feature is not intended to be used with a 

reverse enabled speed control.



Start Data Recording:

Push and hold the brakes/steering for the configured time (default is 5 seconds.)  

When the green LED on the Novak Sentry Data Logger lights up, the system is ready to record data.   
The green LED will then begin to blink, and the unit will start recording data from the connected 
sensors.



Stop Data Recording:

When you wish to finish recording data, simply push and hold the 

brakes/steering again for the configured time.  Once you see the green LED turn solid, the data 
recording has stopped.  Let go of the brakes/steering to turn off the green LED.

2. Button Start/Stop - Use the push button to start recording:



Start the recording:

 Push the button on the Novak Sentry Data 

Logger.  The data logger will start recording data as soon as the green 
LED starts to blink.



Stop Data Recording:

 Press the button again and the green LED will 

stop blinking.  This indicates that the Novak Sentry has stopped 
recording.

At any time, you can turn off the power to the system to stop the recording.

DELETE DATA

Press and hold the Start/Stop button on the Novak Sentry until the red LED lights up.  Let go of the button and 
wait for the red LED to turn off.  The red LED will turn off when all of the recordings are erased.  The red LED 
may stay lit for up to 60 seconds.
