Data Acquisition and Data Logging
Why is data acquisition important?
Data acquisition gives you oversight of all major parameters that relate to engine operation, including engine rpm, engine load, air temperature, air/fuel ratio, injector duty cycle, throttle position, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, etc. This data allows you to make better decisions on engine tuning and aftermarket product upgrades.
What is a data logger?
A data logger (also called datalogger) is an electronic devices that automatically monitor and record parameters over time, allowing conditions to be measured, documented, analyzed and validated. The data logger contains a sensor to receive the information and a computer chip to store it.
