My Radical SR8 has an ECUMaster PMU, a MoTeC M150 ECU, and an AiM MXS 1.2 display, plus an AiM Smartycam 2.2 HD camera. I’m not a fan of AiM’s RS3 software and am wondering if DataMaster can be used to integrate all my chassis data with the Smartycam. Do I need an ECUMaster ADU to do that? Or can I record the data in the ECUMaster PMU and use that for chassis/circuit analysis? Many thanks! ---

Data Master supports logs from the PMU, allowing you to work with them in much the same way as ADU logs. However, there are a few key considerations: - PMU doesn’t have native support for GPS channels. It may require a complex setup to have the GPS based visualizations in Data Master (GPS/Track Map, Track Overlay etc.) - Data Master automatic video synchronization works only with GoPro cameras. You will have to synch the data and the video manually. ---

Thanks for the reply. All the GPS data goes through the PMU (from the AiM GPS09 to the AiM MXS to the PMU to the M150). So that seems possible. I think the problem remains with the AiM camera: it runs fast. For example, a 2:08 lap will take about 1:57 during playback. Manually syncing the video won’t work. Sigh. ---

If your actual lap time is different from the one in the video, you may have problems with decoding/encoding the video. To be precise, it’s a framerate issue. The video must be encoded at the exact same frame rate as it was recorded. If you record at 24 fps and encode a 30 fps video, you will have a time distortion like in your example. ---

I wish it were that simple. The frame rate is probably at the root of this issue, but it occurs on at least 3 different computers. Playback speeds need to be varied from 91% to 97% depending on ??. I suspect it’s an AiM strategy to encourage its customers to use RS3 software (which does stay in perfect sync, even though the playback speed is off). As I mentioned, I was hoping that Data Master had some tools to help.
