SETTING THE CORRECT TIME AND DATE INSIDE YOUR V300SD
A new data file (.ddf extension) is created on the SD memory card each time a new recording is initiated. Each
file is time stamped with the time and date the recording was started to allow easy identification of the data files
that are uploaded to your PC. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you set and maintain the correct
time on the clock in your V300SD. The time can be changed by performing the following procedure.
Step 1:
Before beginning,
insure that the time and date on your PC are set correctly
. The time is
located in the Windows system tray at the lower right hand side of your screen. The date can be seen
by placing the mouse cursor over the time display for a few seconds. You can change the time and date
by double clicking on the time display.
Step 2:
Once you have set the correct time and date in your PC you can start the Racepak DataLink
software. In the Datalink software open your car configuration by clicking on
File
, and then from the
drop down menu select
Open Car Configuration
. The select configuration dialog box will open.
Select
the configuration
with your model and four digit serial number (for example V300SD_1234). This will
open your configuration file.
Step 3: Click on the Organize Pane
icon.
This will open the run log window shown below.
Step 4: Insert the V300SD memory card
into the memory card reader. Now click on the button labeled
Set V300SD Time and Date
and follow the online instructions.
Step 5:
This procedure writes a file that contains the current time and date on the memory card. For the
time to be set accurately, you must
immediately remove the memory card from your PC’s reader
and place it back into the V300SD and turn on the power for at least 5 seconds
.
