Question about "Storage Rate" setting
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2019 1:32 am
Did a quick search and didn't see any discussion about this ...
For the "Storage Rate" setting, the blurb warns "Do not use 20 Hz except when driving short tracks only."
- what length constitutes a "short track" (or, more importantly, a NOT short track)
- what about when one's using an older 20 Hz VBOX for GPS and the "Storage Rate" is set to "GPS Rate"
- what would be the underlying limitation, why, and what effects would it have if 20 Hz is used and the track is "too long"
I'd prefer to use a set rate (and I use a 20 Hz VBOX, so that'd need to be 20 Hz). My thinking is that, by setting a fixed rate, when there's a GPS dropout (where, presumably, the rate also drops) the data-stored rate wouldn't be dependent upon the GPS rate and thus should not lose accel/ODB data because the GPS rate dropeed (... or is there something wrong with my black-box analysis of how things work).
