Lap timing
The ADU device may operate as a Lap timer, i.e. a device for measuring time on a racing track.
The time can be measured by means of a GPS or a device called beacon. The device is placed
near the start/finish line and sends an infra-red beam, which is registered by a receiver inside a
car. The receiver “informs” the ADU of the crossing of the start/finish line.
In addition to measuring time, the GPS module allows to display the anticipated lap time
(Predictive timing) and a change in the anticipated lap time in the form of a graph (gain/loss).
Additionally, by logging the GPS and other data such as the sensor values or engine parameters to
the external USB memory, this data can be analyzed further.
