1 GPX Pro

The GPX is a GPS-based timer and data acquisition component that operates in one of four modes:

Circuit Racing, Point-to-Point Racing, Drag Racing, and Instrument Cluster.

Circuit Racing mode is for tracks on which you run multiple laps – circle tracks, oval tracks, road

racing tracks, etc. There is a start/finish line which you cross multiple times, and detailed lap

information is stored for each lap. Up to 5 split points may be defined.

Point-to-Point Racing mode is for races that start at a starting point and end at a finishing point –

rally races, for example. Up to 5 split points may be defined.

Drag Racing mode allows you to perform a “drag session” and record data for that session. A

number of different types of drag modes are supported – ¼ mile, 1/8 mile, 1 mile; 0-30, 0-60, 0-

100 mph; 0-30-0, 0-60-0, 0-100-0 mph; and a roll-on mode which times and measures from a

programmable start speed to a programmable stop speed (for example, 60-100 mph).

Instrument Cluster mode provides a "dashboard" for your vehicle when you are not racing.

Without any external connections, timing and speed information, track maps, and acceleration

data are available directly from the GPS and built-in accelerometers. By connecting the GPX to

appropriate wires and sensors from your vehicle, you may store and analyze additional data: for

example, RPM, gear, engine temperature, and suspension travel. By using GPStudio, the

accompanying Windows application software, you can analyze in detail all of this information, as

well as completely customize the appearance and data displays of the GPX itself.
