PLEX Data Analysis Software (NEW)

PLEX PDA-WIN Data Analysis Software

PLEX DATA ANALYSIS SW®

Race Based On Facts. Not Intuition.
powerful | versatile | ultra-fast

The new PLEX Data Analysis Software® is one of the easiest, fastest and most versatile data analysis & visualisation solutions available that is meant to shape the way racers benefit from logged data by saving time & enabling smarter decision making. The PLEX PDA-WIN’s intuitive UI and customisation options helps one decipher complex engine, race, driver & tuning data by visualising it in easy to interpret & compare graphs, tables and other analysis components.

PRO version now available from €689 (excl. VAT)

Key Features

Customisable UI

User defined layout of tabs and panels with handy panel docking similar to latest Windows SW suite.

Easy File Comparison

Seamlessly switch between single and comparison view even for completely different file types such as a dyno run with a track lap.

Video File Synchronisation

Sync and review you video data along with the log data to get additional information on driver performance and data context.

Fast Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts for the main menu and panel functions speed up the set-up time and real-time analysis considerably.

Live Data Updating

Zoom levels & cursors are linked among all analysis panels/graphs allowing automatic rescaling & cross referencing of data.

CSV Data Import (pro-version only)

Take advantage of the Plex Data Analysis SW and use it to analyse data from any logging system (ECUs, dedicated loggers, etc).

Multiple Data Graphs & Reports

Line / navigation / XY graphs, histograms, gauges, track-maps, tuning maps, laps/runs reports, data values at cursor and more.

Built-in Project Database

Create and keep track of events, tracks, drivers, vehicles and engines for easy referencing and historical data tracking.

Smart Tuning Maps

Optimise your fuel and ignition maps by analysing the log data in tuning maps with the same breakpoints as your ECU.
KEY APPLICATION AREAS

DRIVER ANALYSIS

Easily view and compare
driver behaviour between laps / sessions.
Identify weak areas & bad habits
with potential for improvement

VEHICLE ANALYSIS

Analyse tyre spin and clutch slip, chassis roll and pitch, suspension performance to identify performance improvement opportunities

ENGINE PEFORMANCE

Display engine sensors, identify trends, create custom alarms and analyse performance statistics to monitor engine performance and reliability

ENGINE TUNING

Streamline the tuning procedure by creating “tuning maps” that display AFR/Knock data directly transferable to the ECU calibration maps. Add custom filters to reject invalid logged file data points.

Responsive File Navigation & Line Graphs

Use the master file graph to quickly navigation to those file areas most relevant for the analysis. Easily generate configurable line graphs for single or multiple file comparison, with zoom levels & cursors that are synced with all other analysis panels/graphs hence allowing quick rescaling & cross referencing of data.

Auto Generated Track Maps

Use track maps to visualise the vehicle path and display data channel information along it. Display and compare different laps & sessions with the line mode or use the bars mode and add up to 2 data channels to visualise them along the vehicle path. For example, throttle position and brake pressure can be indicated with perpendicular bars clearly showing the driver inputs at each point on the track. An additional colour mode allows displaying  a single channel with a configurable colour scale. All options can also be easily superimposed on satellite images.

TUNING MAPS

Tuning maps are special cell graphs designed to provide information directly transferable to the ECU calibration maps. They are used to display A/F ratio, closed loop fuel trim or knock retard. The map break points can be configured to be the same as the breakpoints used in the ECU maps and the cell size can be reduced to allow only data points close to the cell centres to be displayed. Users can easily change the display mode between average, number of samples, range, minimum and maximum.

Generate Actionable Insights from Histograms

Histogram graphs display the frequency distribution of the the selected channel data. What’s the use? Looking at the time spent in each rpm range will indicate where in the range a performance increase would be more beneficial or it could indicate that a gearing change is required, whereas looking at the time spent in each throttle range might indicate inconsistent driving and ineffective use of the engine power. Alternatively, looking at suspension velocity histograms can help in determining the required spring and damping changes. These graphs use data from the currently selected part of the file and in comparison mode can show data from the whole laps/runs.

Analyse by Section

An automatic sections analysis report provides timing information for every track section in each lap/run. Consequently the best times are used to calculate a theoretical best possible lap/run time.

PDA_WIN_SECTION_ANA
Auto Laps/Runs Table

The PDA-WIN auto detects laps/runs from all open sessions and displays them on a panel that can also be used to select the data range for viewing and comparing.

PDA_WIN_LAPS_RUNS_TABLES
SYNCHRONISE ANY VIDEO

Synchronise any type of video file by choosing a track reference point. The video progress / display will then be linked to the other graphs both for replay mode and manual navigation.

PDA_WIN_CHANNEL_VIDEO_SYNC_1
Simulate Driver Inputs

A drivers inputs panel is designed to show the real-time driver actions at the current data point. Display gear, steering angle, throttle position, brake pressure & 2 additional channels.

PDA_WIN_DRIVER_INPUTS
Visualise Temperatures & other channel gradients

Create a colour-strip graph to visualise multi-zone tyre temperature data, EGTs and chassis aerodynamic pressure sensors. Easily configure the graph to display from 2 to 64 channels with a user defined colour scale.

PDA_WIN_COLOUR_STRIP_GRAPH
ALSO: Gauges, Status Indications & Events List

Additional types of display items, such as analog style gauges, status indication windows and time-stamped events lists are available for creating insightful custom analysis layouts that help one decipher logged data and generate performance improvements.
