DataMaster.2X Performance Computer

Part # DM-9200 DataMaster.2X
18.432 MHz Z180 CPU, 3.0 MHz High Speed DMA Channels
Complete system. Includes DataMaster Analyzer Software 4.17
Price: $895.00

Description:

DataMaster.2X is our newest Performance Computer. Based on the original DataMaster, this unit has a Z180 CPU running at 18.432 MHz (18,432,000 cycles per second) and 3.0 MHz Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels. This unit has a real world sampling rate of 4500 times per second! It also has quick release connectors for easy removal.

Standard split sensor rings for Ford 9" Street Gear (1.810" I.D.), Pro Gear (2.125"), Mark Williams (2.187", or Mark Williams (1.875").

(Other than Ford 9" may require aftermarket pinion yoke or other modifications. Please call.)

Quick functions, by button push, are available on the unit itself:

Engine RPM Playback
Drive line RPM Playback
Vehicle Reaction Time
Time to Distance for every foot of the race track
Accurate Time Slip Function - 60'et/mph, 330'et/mph, 660'et/mph, 1000et'/mph, 1320'et/mph

The DataMaster.2X represents the future in drag racing data recording. This all-digital unit is the fastest in the industry, recording all pulse data as a frequency. Since there are no cumbersome analog channels to slow processing down, a sampling rate of 4500 times per second is achieved. In time to distance calculations, DataMaster.2X can see the actual track distance traveled within one (1) inch and engine RPM variation within just three (3) RPM. No data recorder can achieve this much accuracy! Want proof and some screen shots? Then, click here.

The DataMaster.2X is not a simple data recorder. It is a Performance Analyzer Computer. It does not have any analog channels so it does not do temperatures or pressures, which in our application have no purpose. We are interested in finding thousandths of a second of variance, where it happened, and why. It's all about consistency and this is the only available tool that can do it.

DataMaster.2X uses twelve (12) pickup points on the drive shaft that allow vehicle reaction times and actual performance data in time slip form that will actually match a Compulink timing system within .001 of a second. DataMaster.2X weighs just 14 ounces.

DataMaster.2X will accept any DC power source from 9 to 36 volts. It can store up to four runs in memory without having to download. There are a total of 16 digital input channels that can detect contact closures (switches), count pulses, or respond to logic levels (change in state). Nine digital inputs are currently accessed by the units firmware with the remaining 7 inputs being reserved for future expansion. Two DMA digital inputs are used to record crankshaft and drive shaft pulses, a third by the system, and 6 more are available to monitor switches of your choosing, shifter, brake pedal, full throttle, etc.

A forty (40) character, two line, LCD screen and 12 button keypad are used to display data after each run and to perform other functions. DataMaster.2X supports RS232 communication for downloading data directly to a PC for graphing and analysis. DataMaster Analyzer software allows the user to put the cursor anywhere on the graph and see the actual data instantly. Overlay one run on top of another for easy comparison of runs.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: DataMaster Sportsman Computer Date: 3/10/06 9:19 AM Bob, I really think your computer would (also) work on any Pro Car. As far as it working with (MSD) 44 mags, It seems to be as good as a Racepak. With some time to get use to it, I think it will be a great alternative to the high priced unit. You could have a whole new market in the making. Bill Kuhlmann Pro Mod - Nitro Coupe

Missouri’s Bill Kuhlmann became the first doorslammer racer to crack the 200-mph barrier. He also nearly became the first in the “fives” when he ran 6.001, 234.41 in a Nitro Coupe.

"I have seen everything else that is out there. Nothing else can compare! The DataMaster can find mere thousandths of a second in performance variance between runs. The other brands are just old-fashioned data loggers, they can't provide a Sportsman racer any valuable information."
