DataLink Software Installation into the User’s PC
Now that we have the G2X installed, the next step is the installation of the DataLink software used to
view and analyze the data recorded by the G2X data logger. Locate the CD labeled Racepak DataLink
II G2X Data Analysis Software in the materials shipped with your G2X. Then continue with the
installation below.
Computer Requirements
Although we highly recommend Windows XP, the DataLink software is also compatible with Windows
98 Second Edition, ME and 2000 operating systems. Your PC, however, must have the following
hardware components:
• 800 MHz Pentium Processor or equivalent
• 128 Mbytes Ram
• 200 Mbytes free disk space
• Video resolution of at least 1024 x 768 pixels
• Compact flash card reader
• RS-232 serial port or USB serial port adapter
• CD/DVD drive
• Keyboard and 3 button mouse
The DataLink software works best with a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 or greater. The software will
operate at a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768; however use of some of the advanced features of
the software may be limited. We recommend the use of the largest and highest resolution monitor that
meets your installation and budget requirements. The DataLink program can present the user with large
amounts of data; the larger screen sizes and the higher resolution enhance the presentation capabilities.
If your PC is configured with dual monitor support, the DataLink software has special features to take
advantage of the capabilities.
If your computer has a USB port, but no serial port, we recommend (and stock) the following:
KeySpan USB / Serial Adapter
KeySpan Part Number: USA-19HS
Racepak Part Number: 890-CA-USB/SER
35
