Installation of the QwikData Data Logger Unit: Important Notice: When installing data log unit avoid RF and or EMI signal interference and make sure all grounds are connected directly to the negative side of the battery. Keep sensor wiring away from ignition wires. Try to keep all data log unit wiring as far as possible from CD boxes and wiring. Do not mount the data log next to ignition box or ignition coils. You will want as much distance between the data log and these devices as possible. The

TK-4 Thermocouple Converter Installation The TK-4 thermocouple converter unit is required to provide signal conditioning of the thermocouple signals. All eleven thermocouples installed above are connected to a thermocouple converter. The thermocouple cables provided with the thermocouples are four feet long. When installing the thermocouple converter unit, make sure it is within reach of all the thermocouple cables. Mount the TK-4 thermocouple converter unit using the four mounting holes in the

To remove a connector once it is installed, insert a small flat blade screwdriver under the locking clip. Lift the clip while pulling on the connector (never pull on the wires). To make installation as easy as possible, the wiring harness provided is completely assembled with connectors that mate to the supplied sensors. Each sensor is connected to the QwikData unit by simply mating the appropriate connectors. (Refer to the QwikData Reference Manual on the CD ROM for a description of the wiring

Connection To Battery Power Power is connected to the QwikData box using the red and black wires on the wiring harness. Connect the red wire to a switched 12V source (e.g. output of ignition switch) and the black wire to a good ground. The recommended grounding point for most installations is the ground bolt located on the back of the right side cylinder head. The black wire in the wiring harness is supplied with a terminal to fit this grounding bolt. Do not connect the red wire directly to the

Digital Channel Setup This menu selection allows you to select whether or not each of the digital channels is to be enabled for viewing or logging, and to enter in descriptive and calibration information for each channel. For each channel that you intend to use, click the “Channel” Box to enable that channel. Until the channel is enabled, no additional information can be entered for that channel. Name: Enter a descriptive name for each channel (will appear on graph) e.g. RPM.Choosing Channels Ch

There are 3 types of Digital Inputs. You must correctly identify your inputs before proceeding!!! Logic signal Channels 1 and 6 are configured to measure signals that switch between a high (12 or 5 volts) and low (ground) voltage by themselves. This may be a tach. signal, a signal generated from another electronic device (1TL or CMOS level), an injector input etc. WARNING!!! Do not connect any digital input directly to an ignition coil as the electrical noise may cause improper operation of Qwi

This 6-element table allows you to calibrate your sensor to provide the right MPH, RPM etc. read out. Having 6 elements allows you to calibrate some non-linear sensors (e.g. GM mass air flow meter with frequency output), but for most applications (linear sensors), you will only need to utilize the left two elements. The lower numbers in gray are the raw digital inputs, the numbers in white are the corresponding display numbers you are interested in. RPM Example Before entering any numbers, you m

To complete the calibration, you must know the rolling radius of your rear tire and the Final Drive Gear Ratio. To determine the rolling radius of your rear tire, measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the ground with the car fully loaded and on level ground. Use the following formula to determine appropriate table value to enter into the calibration table. (See CD-ROM). Max MPH Final Ratio Radius Calib Value Example: No. of Magnets x Max MPH x Final Ratio x No. of Turns/Mile Calib

Injector On Time Example Instead of Duty Cycle, you may want to measure the absolute on or off time of the injectors in milliseconds for each firing cycle. Select “On Time” or “Off Time” for the input type. Ensure that the maximum length of time of the signal is within the pre-set limits of the system, See “Advanced Options”. The default setting allows you to measure pulse widths of up to 210.5 ms. This is well within the range of most injector pulses which are usually in the 1 to 30 ms range. S

Channel Name and Units Enter a descriptive name for each channel (this will appear on your graphs) e.g. Oil Pressure and an abbreviation for the engineering units of the variable e.g. “psi”. These are the units that will appear on your graph. Channel Calibration Analog channels have a six (6), element table that allows you to calibrate your sensor to provide the right EGT, oil pressure etc., read out. Having 6 elements allows you to calibrate some non-linear sensors (e.g. NGK wide range oxygen s

Zero Analog Channels The QwikData program allows you to zero selected analog channels at any time. This effectively change calibration values so that the current value being read on the channel is assigned as the zero point for the sensor and all readings will then be displayed as plus and minus values referenced to this zero point. This feature is most useful for sensors such as suspension travel sensors. In this case, the vehicle would be setup at its normal static ride height including full t
