Setting Start Finish with Display Dash Related
• I am not getting laptimes after setting start finish with the dash
1. Insure you are moving. The start finish can not be set while sitting still.
2. Insure you see the Set SF message on the dash.
3. Do not drive a complete lap with the Set SF message on the dash, before
actually setting the start finish location. Attempt to set with 30 seconds after
bringing up the Set SF message.
4. Insure you have GPS data. Setting start finish depends on speed and location
• Can I set start finish if I am beside the track: Yes, just insure where you will be driving on the
track is within 30-40 feet of where you are setting start finish. The G2X looks perpendicular to
your direction of travel, when marking the start finish location.
• Can I set the start finish point if I am driving slower than 25 mph: Yes
• Can I set the start finish point if I am driving faster than 40 mph: Typically, yes but try to avoid
roaring down the track at 100 mph while setting start finish.
Mounting of the G2X Data Logger Related:
• Can I mount the logger on it’s side or end: No, please mount the logger flat both front to rear and
side to side and insure the X on the G2X logo is facing direction of travel
• Can I mount the logger under the seat, in the glove box, etc: You can, but it makes it really tough
to access the compact flash card or to connect the serial cable to the logger, if you need to
update.
Serial Cable Related:
• Can I leave the serial cable connected to the Serial port of the data logger: No, as this will disable
the GPS data and prevent the logger from working properly.
Compact Flash Card Related:
• Can I use a Compact Flash card with more memory: Yes, but try to stick with standard 128, 256
or 512 MB cards. Unless you are running in a 24 hour event, 128MB of memory will be MORE
that sufficient for any type of racing event.
• My G2X is not writing to my memory card. Insure you have the two things necessary for
creating data, GPS Speed and driving faster than 25 mph. If you have those two things, then refer
to the next question.
• I took the compact flash card out of my camera, etc and used it in the G2X, but there is no data
on the card: The G2X must have a clean card, void of ANY data, when the card is initially
installed into the G2X, in order for the G2X to format the card for use. Clear ALL data off of the
card, then reinsert into the G2X
• I used my G2X compact flash card in my camera, etc and now the G2X will not write data to the
card: See the above.
• I am pulling the compact flash card as soon as I stop the vehicle: If the G2X is still writing data
to the compact flash card, data will be skewed or lost. Do not turn power off to the logger until
the PWR LED stops flashing at the end of a run.
