PWC SSL Handbook
9. DATA GATHERING
Data will be downloaded directly off all cars passing through tech. Logging memory will not be erased
during this download. For cars not going through tech, a USB memory stick must be turned in within 30
minutes of the conclusion of every session with the corresponding data files. PWC will provide one USB
memory stick to all teams.
10. Logger Serial #
All MoTeC logger serial numbers must be on file with PWC. This includes any spare units.
11. CONFIGURATION FILES
All logger device configuration files must remain open to PWC. No passwords are allowed without
disclosing them to PWC. Data files without the device config will be deemed non-compliant. The series
will keep a master copy of all configuration files to be used in the event of communication and sensor
verification, (i.e. CAN setup and boost sensor input identification).
12. MOTEC DATA FILE DETAILS
To keep data files standardized, some detail information guidelines are required. An example image of
the details editor is shown below.
