FAQs
USB
to Serial Adapter FAQs
Q.
How do I find the Windows Device Manager to see my USB to
Serial Adapter port assignments?
A.
Every Windows operating system uses a different succession
of multiple mouse clicks to eventually end up at the Device
Manager. Why Microsoft chooses to make things so difficult
for the end user is beyond me. However, there is a shortcut
that can be used on any Windows machine to access the Device
Manager directly, and at any time. It's this simple:
1. Hold down the Windows key on the keyboard, and press
the "R" key.
2. In the textbox that appears, type: devmgmt.msc
and Click OK, or Press Enter.
Bingo, you're in the Device Manager! Once there, Double Click
on:
"Ports (Com & LPT)"
and you'll see the Com Port assignments for your USB to Serial
Adapters, printer ports, and/or serial ports.
DataMaster Sportsman Computer FAQs
Q.
What diameter of driveshaft will the 12 point ring fit? I
think mine is 3 or 3.5". How does it attach? Is engine rpm
determined from the MSD tach output? I have Altronics DRT
with G-time. The car will 60' within .001 and reactions can
be within .005 but the numbers on the DRT vary by as much
as .3. From one day to the next my reactions went from .010's
to .040's and I know I was not late but the DRT still shows
about the same. Baffling information. My laptop only has a
usb port. Will that work? Thank you in advance.
A.
Actually, it's not baffling information, the data is just
telling you that the device is not working. And, unless you
have multiple pickup points and a high speed CPU, like our
DataMaster, there is no way it can work, because every time
you stage the car the pickup is in a completely different
position. None of these devices, or any data recorder on the
market today, are as accurate as the DataMaster, but it's
a great way for them to get your money!
The DataMaster
gives you a highly accurate Vehicle Reaction Time (VRT) with
.001 accuracy, which allows you to see if the car is repeating
during roll out and hooking consistently. Personal Reaction
Time (PRT) or Driver Reaction Time (DRT) cannot be measured
without being able to "read" the tree. You can, however, subtract
the VRT from the Reaction Time (RT) on your time slip to see
if your PRT is consistent, which is what you seem to be looking
for.
If you have a dragster with a coupler, the ring goes on the
female half of the coupler. Otherwise, the ring goes on the
machined surface of the pinion yoke directly in front of the
pinion seal. It depends on the type of rear and pinion yoke
manufacturer what diameter ring you'll need. There are several
different sizes available, and we can machine many custom
configurations. The RPM square wave signal is provided by
the MSD Tach terminal. A simple USB
to Serial adapter is used if you do not have a true hardware
serial port.
ET Prediction Software FAQs
Q.
Does this software work with a set of gauges and a computer
or do I need weather station also. Will a notebook style computer
with 200 memory , 1 gig ram and basic Microsoft 7 run this.
Will it load with flash drive or a disc player. What gauges
do you recommend. My Performaire station died and i need a
small size computer at work so I was hoping to get something
to do both.
A.
You can use gauges that measure barometric pressure, temperature,
and humidity. Old style analog gauges are not accurate and
do not update rapidly, so digital gauges are preferred. Ideally,
you would want a barometric pressure gauge that reads Absolute
Pressure, not corrected pressure. We have a hand held gauge
called the Digital Pocket Weatherman that is very accurate:

The
next step up would be a Davis Weather Station because it also
provides wind readings that can be used in the ET Prediction
result. Having a solar shield and better sensors, the accuracy
is improved:

The
Weather Station can be linked to your computer and have the
readings go into the program automatically using the Davis
WeatherLink:
http://ifamilysoftware.com/Davis6510.html
Any
notebook computer or laptop should be fine. However, there
are some netbook computers that do not use a Windows operating
system. The computer used must be running at least Microsoft
Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 Home Edition.
The Windows 7 Starter Edition is very limited. If the computer
can run one of these operating systems, then it has enough
resources to run our software. The installation program comes
on a CD or can be downloaded from our web site on the internet.
It can be transferred to a flash drive if the computer does
not have internet access or a CD or DVD drive.
Trailer Station FAQs
Q. What is the
benefit of having the Di-Pole Antenna option versus the regular
'rubber duck' style antenna?
A. The di-pole antenna is mounted externally. If you have
the transmitter located in a motorhome , the signal can travel
through the glass and an external antenna is not necessary.
However, if you have the transmitter located inside a metal
trailer, the signal would be reduced. Closing the doors on
the trailer would kill the signal entirely. Therefore an external
antenna is mandatory in that application. In any event, the
di-pole design doubles the radial range of a normal transmission,
or can be used directionally to 'point' the signal in a particular
direction such as the staging lanes.
