AIM Race Studio User Manual

[BertBert]

Does anyone know the location of a user manual for Race Studio? Search as much as I have, I can't find one. If you click the icon in the software itself, it just takes you to the aim sportline home page.

I'm trying to work out how to synchronise the laps from two different solo loggers taken from the same circuit on the same day.

Cheers

Thanks for the videos, but it makes me want to say WTF? Did aim write their software and decide not to bother to tell people how to use it?

I love my SOLO but the software is st isn't it. Same for Race Technology too. Not used a VBox so can't comment on those.

The Race Studio 2 and 3 manuals and stuff are under the 'software' section here:

Thanks, but try as I might I can't find a manual that tells you how to use the analysis software! I'm probably just being really stupid!!

I had a look and couldn't find anything either, I'll have a look in my downloaded manuals folder later today just in case.

And just in case anyone knows the answer, when we have two cars out in testing, the loggers seem to have the laps offset as if they have both chosen different start/finish lines. That seems odd as both are using the built in map and the logger knows the circuit. So I was wondering if there was a better way than clicking the button in the top right which allows the 'lap' to be dragged left or right and guessing the fit.

I found James' videos most helpful.
I was fortunate enough to meet him at Spa12hr a couple of years ago too, top bloke.

Yes, they do look good. Are there just the 4 do you know?

Hi Bert,

No sign of a .pdf manual on my computer. Might be able to help though?

Load a session and on the laps tab at the top right there should be 'GPS lap insert'.


In there you can manually set the latitude and longitude of the start/finish line. Get the coordinates from google maps by zooming in on the circuit and clicking on the start finish line.


It should recalculate the laps using this information now, if you do it for both tests using the same coordinates it should work?

Fingers crossed this is some help

Thanks very much, will give it a go this evening!

Use 'set from previous test' which is the tab below in Duncans post.

You can then match it to the other test file you have form the other solo.

Have you looked at the 'How to....' section on his YT channel?
There are 14 videos in there.

Thanks all. I would never have clicked on GPS lap insert, but it does exactly the job. I set both tests from the test database which gave the same lat and long (obvs) and all is good.
Awesome!

Glad it's sorted, few different ways to skin the cat there

I've just fitted an Aim Solo 2 and I'm looking to get a cheap windows laptop PC to run the race studio software on. The spec suggests that I need an 500 GB SSD equipped pc?? That seems a rather large drive just to run the software? Just wondering what you guys use? I'm a Mac user so not windows savey. I was hoping to be able to get a cheap used £150 pc laptop to use at the circuits. I don't really want to run bootcamp on my MacBook.

I bought the cheapest new Dell laptop a couple of years ago as my race laptop. I don't think the aim software is particularly hungry, just the laptop was really slow generally and for video etc. And heavy!

So I did some diagnostics and found it was the hard drive. So I upgraded to an SSD and it's really nippy.

So if you are competent in such matters, you could get a used laptop and if it's not fast enough, upgrade the hard drive.
