Cycle Analyst V3.1 User Manual
Rev 1.0
The Flags column on the end starts off with the current mode preset (#1 in this
example) and then uses letters (A,W,s,S,V,T) to show any active limits like on the
diagnostics screen, as well as 'B' to indicate if ebrakes are pressed and X to
indicate a throttle fault.
Each line of data is sent out in tab delimited ASCII format making it easy to view
the data in a text editor or spreadsheet. The transmitted values are the same
averaged data that is presented on the CA's display screen. When using the fast
10Hz log rate, it is recommended to set the Display Averaging parameter to 0.08
seconds so that each logged data value is unique and not repeated.
Grin offers a USB➡TTL adapter cable to transmit this information directly to a
computer with a terminal program or to a USB OTG enabled smartphone.
Alternately any serial converter cable with a matching TRS pinout should work as
well, as would a serial to bluetooth converter.
We do not currently produce any software applications designed for the realtime
logging and graphical display of this information, although free terminal programs
are available on all platforms to display and log serial data. Grin does produce a
product (the Cycle Analogger) that is plug and play with CA devices and
conveniently logs data directly to an SD memory card along with optional GPS
data.
Recorded CA data (whether logged with the Analogger or any other means) can
then be analyzed and visualized online with our Trip Analyzer web application.
This web application also has the ability to upload and merge a corresponding
NMEA encoded GPS file to show your consumption at various points on a trip.
