Configuration Files
The SmartWire unit is shipped from Racepak, with factory default settings. The end user must program the
SmartWire for each particular application and wiring termination. To modify the settings of the SmartWire unit,
a PC/laptop must be connected to the SmartWire in one of the two fashions shown below. A configuration file
on the PC/laptop will then be opened and synced (READ from) the unit. Once the settings are read from the
SmartWire, changes are made, and SENT/WRITE back to the SmartWire.
Stand Alone or with V-Net sensors, No Data Recorder
When utilizing the SmartWire as a standalone system (i.e. not connected via V-Net to a compatible Racepak
Data Recorder), the factory car configuration file was copied onto the PC during the DatalinkII software
installation, and will be listed as SmartWire_Config. The configuration file contains the setup information for
the SmartWire unit, and each of the internal channels connected to the SmartWire unit.
