Traqmate Online Store

---

The TraqDash has built-in shift lights and tach screens.
While the Traqmate timing functions will work fine without an RPM input, to utilize the shift lights, gear display, tach display, and record RPM in the data you will need one of the Traqmate RPM input devices.

If you already have an RPM input, the TraqDash is compatible. If you need to add an RPM input, the TraqTach is the easiest and most economical choice and accepts only RPM.

TraqData II will accept an RPM input as well as 4 analog and 2 digital inputs.

TraqData HD will accept an RPM input as well as 4 analog, 2 digital inputs, and control a Sony HD or the upcoming RaceCam HD camera. 

Why GPS?
Several events converged recently to make GPS Data Acquisition viable. First, the US government removed the artificial errors in the GPS signal to improve accuracy. Second, the advent of high-speed single-chip GPS receivers made the technology both affordable and even more accurate. Third, the power of portable PCs increased to the point where they can process a large amount of mathematical and graphical data quickly. And finally, the popularity and increasing sophistication of racing and track enthusiasts created a market for the product.

The primary advantages of GPS Data Acquisition over more traditional sensor-based systems are:

Easy Installation
Using just the GPS positioning and accelerometers, you can collect an incredible amount of information, enough to compare drivers and cars. This makes the system accessible to street cars, vintage cars, and racecars that run in classes that do not permit sensor based systems. It also makes it easy to swap the unit between vehicles. This is ideal for driving instructors and people with multiple vehicles. Of course, adding sensors is always an option if you wish to collect even more in-depth information.

Easy to Use
By starting with the track map and placing one or more vehicles on it, you have a visual reference for all the rest of the data that can be examined. This makes data analysis faster and much easier.

Driving Line Comparisons
By mapping each run, comparisons can be made of driving lines, braking points, and other track-dependent points.

Cost
There is no installation cost and no expensive sensors are required.
