DATA ACQUISITION
The data acquisition system works in conjunction with the Power Grid (PN7730) data recorder. It
allows the user to watch input activations as well as the state of any of the outputs and temperature
sensor while going down the track.
When connected to the Power Grid, the Power Module sends the enabled channels over the CAN bus
to be recorded by the Power Grid. The channels will be recorded at a rate of 5 samples per second.
CHANNELS
