    Note

    • Standalone Data Logging will only begin to collect data when the USB and bluetooth are disconnected and not being used by VCM Suite or TrackAddict.
    • The MPVI2 must be connected via your vehicles OBD port and power must be detected as well.
    • Three buttons are available: User Initiated, Street Car, and Race Car. Selecting one auto-populates relevant fields to help you get started.
    • Under Start Triggers, you can enter either an instantaneous or sustained acceleration value. Instantaneous acceleration starts logging as soon as the threshold is reached. Sustained acceleration requires a duration for which the value must be exceeded (e.g., 0.05 G for 1 second).

  6. If Data Logging is set to trigger via short press, press the button on the MPVI2 to initiate a log.

    Note

    If your start trigger is event-based (time, acceleration, or RPM), operate the vehicle until it reaches the configured value.

  7. The light on the face of the MPVI2 will illuminate amber indicating Data Logging has initiated.

  8. When you are done collecting data press the button or operate the vehicle until it reaches the configured stop value.

    Note

    • If you connect to VCM Suite or TrackAddict while Standalone Data Logging is running, the software will turn off and stop recording.
    • If there is no movement and zero RPM for 1 minute, data logging will stop automatically.
    • If the MPVI2 is unplugged during Data Logging, data will be lost.
