Additional File Functions
By clicking on the small arrow next to the Load All button, a further set of file-loading options is
revealed:
Load Compare File
The Graph screen has the facility to load up to three more files
for comparison. Select one of the „Load Compare File x‟ items
and choose an additional file to examine: the data will be
overlaid in the Graph screen, another data set will be displayed
in the Graph:Data window, and the comparison file‟s path will be
overlaid in the Graph:Map window.
To remove a compare file, click on the „Remove Run‟ icon in the
Toolbar and then select the relevant file to remove.
Append File to Main
DriftBox files can be joined together using the „Append file to
Main‟ option. This is a useful feature if you want to join track
sessions together in order to carry out lap time analysis on a whole day‟s circuit practice, or to view
an entire journey which was punctuated by stops.
Appending a file will join the beginning of the additional file to the end of the main file. If you wish to
append files to the middle of the main file it will be necessary to manipulate the main file first using
the Edit Data functions (see Editing a DriftBox File.)
Note that if you have loaded a comparison file, this will be removed when appending an additional
file to the Main Run.
Open in Notepad
A DriftBox file can be opened in Notepad by selecting the „Open In Notepad‟ option from the „Load
All‟ drop down list. Note that for large files, it may take some time for Notepad to load all of the
lines of data.
This function can also be used to open the other text files on your SD card such as the lap time
results files, Results.txt and Best.txt.
Load Circuit Map
This feature allows you to load a circuit overlay file in addition to your logged DriftBox data, and is
covered in the section „Circuit Overlays‟ on page 69.
