Innovate Motorsports Releases DL-32 Data Logger - Republishing the press release of Innovate Motor Sports

Released on = July 23, 2006, 8:05 am

Press Release Author = John Cecil

Industry = Automotive

Press Release Summary = Newest component of the MTS TM (Modular Tuning System)
provides up to 32-channels of data logging, with multiple built-in sensors.

Press Release Body = Innovate Motorsports today announced the release of the DL-32
Data Acquisition Device. The DL-32 is a complete system for advanced engine tuning.
The system is anchored by Innovate Motorsports' award-winning digital wideband
Air/Fuel Ratio technology, but also includes flexible sensors for RPM, MAP,
Temperature, Duty Cycle, and analog inputs. The basic DL-32 unit features the
following:

32-channels of data recording capability, 12 samples per second

* 17 minutes of recording per MB of SD Card capacity
* 1-bar to 3-bar pressure sensor (MAP, Vacuum, Boost, etc.)
* Thermocouple amplifier (EGT, CHT, etc.)
* Duty cycle and Frequency sensing
* 2-axis accelerometer (Acceleration Gs, Braking Gs, and Cornering Gs)
* Ignition timing sensing
* RPM measurement
* 5V power supply for external sensors
* 3 solenoid/relay outputs
* Expansion inputs for GPS, audio annotation, and video camera controls

The DL-32 is a compliant MTS component, so users can chain together additional MTS
components, such as Innovate's popular LC-1 wideband oxygen-sensor controller and
air/fuel ratio meter. For example, a common configuration for advanced tuning would
include multiple LC-1's for individual cylinder tuning, a DL-32, and any other
required MTS components.

For RPM, the DL-32 includes options for direct tach input, inductive clamp, GMR
sensor, or optical sensors. For Manifold Absolute Pressure, the DL-32 features a
configurable 1-bar, or 3-bar pressure sensor for both normally-aspirated and
forced-induction applications. Multiple temperature, frequency and duty-cycle
channels round out the input capabilities of the DL-32.

The DL-32 features 3 programmable solenoid/relay outputs that can be used to drive
options like enrichment fuel injectors, water/alcohol pumps, CIS frequency valves,
nitrous safety switches, turbo wastegate controllers, and more.

The DL-32 ships with LogWorks 2, Innovate's powerful analysis software. This is the
same software used by top engine builders, tuners, and developers, and features
Dyno-formatted charts, 3D charting, and a flexible math engine for creating custom
tuning formulas.

A key feature of LogWorks 2.0 is a full math engine for generating calculated
traces. For example, LogWorks can calculate and graph horsepower and torque,
allowing direct mapping and comparison of HP vs. RPM vs. AFR. This enables users to
gather performance data with a number of different fuel maps (or jetting changes,
etc.), the use LogWorks to directly determine peak volumetric efficiency at any RPM
or load. In other works, LogWorks 2.0 can tell you not only what your AFRs are, but
also what they should be.

"The goal with the DL-32 is to set a new standard for data acquisition" says Klaus
Allmendinger, Innovate Motorsports' VP of Engineering. "Archored by our wideband
technology, and augmented by the internal sensors and LogWorks, we can deliver big
team power at a fraction of the traditional cost."

"We've completed the connection from the dyno to the street, to the track and back,"
states Patrick Thompson, Innovate's President, "Users can compare DL-32 track data
to ST-12 dyno data on the same software platform, or email log files to their engine
builder or tuner for setup advice."

The DL-32 retails for $499 (MSRP). The forums at www.tuneyourengine.com feature
insider tips and tricks for the novice and ultimate enthusiast alike.
