TestLogger products are splitted in to multiple parts, so first you may ask "How to get started?". This arcticle gives you guidance where to start.

Concept

Before going to into details actions, it's good to understand different applications what those are used for.

Remember that TestLogger products are not silver bullet but a tool and requires some effort to get value out from the tools


TestLogger Manager

Manager is the original tool developed by TestLogger and designed for recording run data like lap times, comments, setups etc. This tool will work as the long term data storage and central point for TestLogger services. We would even say that start using just the Manager before doing anything else. To get most out from Collector, it is essential to have good process on documenting runs, setups, conditions in a structured manner.

TestLogger Collector

All data logging hardware goes under name Collector. This includes the main units for logging, sensors, cables, etc.

TestLogger Analyzer

Analyzer is the analytics software mainly designed for Collector users, but nothing prevents to use for sim racing or full scale motorsports. 

TestLogger Connector

Connector is the link between Collector hardware to TestLogger Manager and TestLogger Analyzer. Connector allows to configure the Collector hardware and it also handles data file transfer from Collector. Connector generates data files which are compatible with Analyzer, but it also create runs and store the data file in Manager.
