INTRODUCTION EVO5

What is EVO5?

Which data does it manage?

EVO5 is the evolution of thetraditional datalogger that, all over theyears, has become a standard de factoacquisition system in a huge amountof championships.

The top RGB LED, changing colour andblinking frequency, tells you if EVO5 isperforming a firmUp, if it is in error, if itis recording or not, is using a WiFiconnection or not.

EVO5 has two digital outputs youcan freely configure.

You can use a WiFi connection fortransmitting the data of your test,sending data online and forconfiguring the system.

Yes, MXL used to produce data in .DRKformat. EVO5 offers an improved datamanagement and produces .XRKformat that only Race Studio 3 can read.Nevertheless, the last releases ofRace Studio 2 can detect .XRK files andtransform them into old .DRK formatfiles that are compatible with MXL1and EVO4 files.

Data come from a wide range ofsources, including your vehicle ECU,the internal accelerometers and gyro,the GPS module included in the kit, theanalog/digital inputs, the externalexpansions as well as predefined mathchannels.

Many times you wish to get data notonly from your ECU but also fromother electronic devices you have inyour car.The extra CAN is intended to offer thispossibility.

Why an extra CAN connection?

.XRK, taking advantage of GPStechnology, associates absolutetime and GPS position to each datawith the precision of 1 millisecond.In this way, it is possible to bettercompare different laps and tests.

EVO5 stores data both in its memoryand on an SD card.Download procedure can be easilyperformed via WiFi or placing the SDcard in your PC.

What is the differencebetween the old DRKformat and new .XRK?

What about Race Studio 3?What are the differencesbetween the old .DRKformat and new .XRK?

How do I downloadthe data from myEVO5

What is the LEDintended for?

Is there a digitaloutput ?

Why a WiFi connection?

Are EVO5 data compatiblewith old MXL/EVO4data?

Race Studio 3 is the new software formanaging configuration, data downloadand data analysis for all the future AiM systems.It is going to substitute Race Studio 2,which has accompanied us for almost 15years.Based on a totally new and much moreflexible architecture, it is a work in progress as some features are continuously improved.

We are going to upgrade it very often so,please don't forget to check out website atwww.aim-sportline.com.

The ECU has to be set when configuringyour system with RS3 configuration soft-ware.The steps are explained in the related sec-tion.

CAN ResistorsEVO5 features two 120 Ohm endingresistors on CAN1 and CAN2 Line whosestatus by default is:

n Enabled on CAN1n Disabled on CAN2

5. ECU connection and CAN resistors

The system can acquire data from the ECUof your vehicle. The list of the available ECUprotocols is published on our site:www.aim-sportline.com/download area,ECU connections.This list includes approximately more than1000 different protocols and is constantlyupdated with new protocols.When possible documents explaining howto configure your ECU to ensure compati-bility between the data flow transmittedare available, too.From an hardware point of view, the systemis compatible with all currently availableconnections: CAN, RS232 or K Line.The steps to manage the data coming fromthe ECU are the following:

1. Determine wich hardware connection isavailable for your ECU

2. Read the documentation about your ECUat www.aim-sportline.com and identify thename of the software driver to be specified

3. Using Race Studio 3, configure EVO5 set-ting your ECU driver with the menu shownhere below, that appears when you createa new configuration.

CHAPTER 6 RPM

12 13

EVO5

6. RPM

The system can receive the RPM signal from three different sources:

n From ECUn Through a square wave signal (8 to 50 V)n From the low voltage (from 150 to 400 V) of the coil

6.1 RPM from ECU

To get RPM from the ECU, please configure your device and enable RPM channel. RPM is oneof the many data flowing from your ECU.

6.2 RPM via a 5-50 V square wave signal or coil (150-400 V)

In case your engine is not managed by any ECU, the device can read the signal from the lowvoltage of the coil (whose peak can be from 150 to 400 V) or from a possible square wave (thepeak can be from 5 to 50V). The pin labelled "RPM" reported in appendix “Pinout” receivesthe signal.

The output, labelled “GRAY TACH” gives a5-50V output that can be directly acquiredfrom EVO5. If the output is not available from the ignition system, the system has to be connected to the low voltage of the coil, asshown in the following schematic.

The image shows an example of wiring for the ignition system.

Point 1: Low voltage of the coilPoint 2: Connected to the spark plugPoint 3: Connected to the +12V of the

battery

After connecting the RPM signal, please usethe software Race Studio 3 for enabling theRPM channel.

7.3 Speed read from wheel sensors

EVO5 has four wheel speed inputs, one inthe 37 pins connector and the other threein the 22 pins connector:The digital sensor X02SNVM00 detectsthe presence of a metallic tooth placed ata distance between 0.5 and 2 mm.

Please use the software Race Studio 3 toload the sensor in the system configuration.

Just enter the program configuration paneland, after enabling the desired speed chan-nels, set the wheel circumference and thenumber of pulses for revolution.

7. Speed

The system can receive the speed signalfrom three different sources:

n from the ECUn from the GPS receiver included in the kitn from the wheel sensors (digital channels)

It is therefore possible to receive and storedifferent values of speed at the same time;the more powerful ECUs transmit up to fourwheel speed values.

7.1 Speed read from the ECU

If your ECU sends the value of speed in itsdata stream, it is obviously possible to read,record and show that value. Simply enable it using Race Studio 3 software when setting the channels.

7.2 Speed read from the GPS receiver

The GPS receiver you find in the kit is configured in order to obtain the best performance in term of reactivity and accuracy.

For getting GPS speed you don't need anyconfiguration. Simply connect the GPS08 Module to yoursystem and after a setup period of some seconds the data will be received and automatically recorded.

CHAPTER 8 ANALOG INPUTS

14 15

EVO5

8. Analog inputs

EVO5 has 8 analog inputs, recorded up to1000 times per second each.You can connect:

n 0-5 Volt signalsn Ratiometric potentiometers n Pressure sensorsn Thermo-resistances n K-type thermocouples

Please follow these steps, using the soft-ware Race Studio 3 to set the channels:

n Connect the sensor to the desired inputn Enable the channel in the Channels table n Select the proper sensor type; sensors of

many different types are properly handledn Set the sampling frequencyn Set the unit of measure.

CHAPTER 7 SPEED

16 17

DIGITAL OUTPUT EVO5

You can configure them in order to turnthem on or off depending on the value ofthe analog or digital inputs, ECU values, ex-pansions values, GPS information or mathchannels. To each event you can associate an alarmLED, a message and a digital output.

The system features two digital inputs onthe 22 pins connector.Each of them can give an output of 1 ampat 12 volts.

9. Digital output

Connecting examples

The digital output (Dout) is a LOW-SIDEtype with internal 10 Kohm weak pull-upresistor.Here below are some connecting examples.

You can configure it in order to turn themoff when the condition disappears, whenyou turn EVO5 off, when you push a pushbutton or when the data are downloaded. Please refer to the related section in order to see how to use RaceStudio 3 to manage the Output Signals.

CHAPTER 9

WiFi connectivity is set on AUTO by default. This means that if the vehicle is stopped WiFi is onand goes OFF as the vehicle speed increases. Your system can be configured for WiFi commu-nication in one of two ways.

In WLAN mode there are two layers of security available:

n Network authentication: the network passwordn Device authentication: a unique device password

Using both network and device authentication allows for various security strategies wheremultiple people, PCs and AiM devices are involved. For example a PC on a WLAN may see se-veral AiM devices but can only communicate with AiM devices for which it has the password.

CHAPTER 10 WIFI CONFIGURATION

18 19

EVO5

10. WiFi Configuration

1) As an Access Point (AP)

This is ideal when you have one device and one computer.In this configuration your AiM device creates its own WiFi network, which acts as an AP towhich you can connect your PC.

2) To join an existing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

This is more complex and requires an external AP but is more flexible and powerful. In this wayyou can communicate with more than one PC on the same network.In this configuration both your system and your PC have to join a pre-existing WiFi network,called WLAN, in order to communicate with one another. The network is now created by a net-work device, which is acting as an external AP by permitting the connectivity.

Follow these steps to create an AP, allowingyou to connect your PC to the device viaWiFi.This is the most simple and direct WiFi con-nection method and is ideal when you wishto communicate with only one deviceusing one PC.By default AiM system is configured as anAccess Point and creates a network withouta password completely accessible to everyone.

So, for establishing the WiFi connection:

n Be sure your AiM system has the WiFienabled.

n Read its name in the lower part of theLive Measures page.

n Click the WiFi icon of Race Studio 3 andselect your AiM system.

CHAPTER 10 WIFI CONFIGURATION

20 21

EVO5

10.1 Configuring your device as an AP In a few seconds the communication will be established.

For setting other parameters it is therefore recommended that you create a uniquepassword to secure your device/network immediately. With the use of a password, the communication is secure and encrypted using the WPA2-PSK standard.

WIFI CONFIGURATION

22 23

EVO5

The name of this AP, or SSID, is unique to your device. An example is: "AiM-EVO5-5000999"whereas:

n “AiM” is the prefix for all AiM devices

n “EVO5” is type of system identifier

n “5000999” is a unique serial number for your device assigned at the factory.

To make your device more recognizable you can append a friendly name to the SSID. Thereis a limit of eight characters.

For example if you add the driver's name, Tom Wolf, the resulting network name (SSID) willbe:"AiM-EVO5-5000999-TomWolf".

After having set all the parameters click "Transmit" button. WiFi communicaton only will berestarted with the new parameters.

To connect your EVO5 simply choose your device from the list of available WiFi connections.

If your EVO5 is protected by a password, as recommended, Race Studio 3 will then requirethat password to authenticate. Please note that it is also possible to make the same WiFi connection using the WiFi tools of

your operating system.

CHAPTER 10

24 25

WIFI CONFIGURATION EVO5CHAPTER 10

Once the WiFi authentication with the device has been established, users can interact with thedevice clicking on it.

In this scenario, both your AiM system andthe PC join an existing WiFi network(WLAN).

This scenario is ideal for a race team withmultiple drivers and crewmembers thatcommunicate with one or more AiM devi-ces using the same PC network.

Note again that each AiM system can havea unique password, which is in addition tothe network password, thus adding an ad-ditional layer of privacy and security.

Race Studio 3 will display all devices con-nected to the same network.

Connected devices can be seen under the"Connected Devices" header, just as if theywere connected via USB: simply click onyour device in the left panel under Connec-ted Devices.

10.2 Joining Your AiM system to an existing network

Go to the WiFi configuration tab and set themode to Existing Network. Then, enter thenetwork password and the device pas-sword, should you choose to add one, inthe appropriate fields.

To commit the network settings to your de-vice, click "Restart" button on this same tab.Your device will restart and join the net-work you specified.

Connect your PC to the same network andyou will see your device under ConnectedDevices, just as if connected via USB.

If the AiM device is connected to your PCusing a WLAN, it is possible to have two dif-ferent passwords: the device password andthe network password.

Please note that only passwords followingthe WPA2-PSK code are admitted.

WIFI CONFIGURATION

26 27

EVO5CHAPTER 10

In order to accomplish these tasks, Race Studio 3 has to be used as clarified in the following figure.

As you can see in the picture above, one device called “EVO5 ID 5000999” isswitched from AP mode to WLAN mode.

The network name is “network_1,” and it is not working in open authentication modesince it is protected by a network password.

In order to get the connectivity to the device, the user’s PC also has to be authenticated to the same network, as clarified in the following figure.

Once the user’s PC is authenticated to the same network called “network_1,” it cansee the AiM device previously configured to gain access to the target network.

In the previous picture, two AiM devices are connected to the WLAN network_1.

WIFI CONFIGURATION

EVO5CHAPTER 10

10.3 High performance WLAN setup

This chapter reports a basic description of one WLAN configuration having an AiM devices anda user’s PC on it.AiM suggests the use of a Linksys AS3200 device as the network device in order to provide aWLAN. However, you can use any other network device that has at least both one 3x3 MIMOand one DHCP server.Moreover, in order to maximize the bandwidth, the Internet should not be allowed throughthis WLAN. Hence, the DHCP server has to be configured without both DNS and default gate-way addresses.

A typical example of configuration is shown Below.

As you can see in the picture, the network device configuration parameters are the following:

nWireless network name: network_1It states the network name belonging to the WLAN is "AiM-WLAN". Hence one user's PC needsto be authenticated to this network in order to interact with any AiM device on this network.

nGateway address: 192.168.0.1Primary DNS server: 0.0.0.0Secondary DNS server: 0.0.0.0These settings prevent internet connectivity through this WLAN.

n Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224Enable DHCP server: yesDHCP IP address range: 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.31These settings enable a DHCP server running on this WLAN. It gives IP addresses belonging tothe range 3-31. Hence, 29 network hosts are permitted on this network.

The number of network devices on one WLAN depends on the subnet mask.This guide suggests the use of the following network masks and IP address range:

Subnet mask: IP address range: Number of devices:255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 - 254 254255.255.255.128 192.168.0.1 - 126 126255.255.255.192 192.168.0.1 - 62 62255.255.255.224 192.168.0.1 - 30 30255.255.255.240 192.168.0.1 - 14 14255.255.255.248 192.168.0.1 - 6 6

The bold one is the configuration we suggest (if a greater number of devices is not needed),as it makes it easier and quicker for Race Studio 3 to identify devices on the network.

10.4 About Internet Connectivity

For optimal network speed of your AiM de-vice(s) we recommend not to allow an In-ternet connection on the same networkand to provide WLAN settings that prohibitan Internet connection.

Please know that it is certainly possible toallow internet access on the same networkas your AiM device(s) but doing so can de-grade the performance of AiM device com-munication.

10.5 Working with Mac(™) OS and VirtualizedWindows (™)

Race Studio 3 software runs exclusively onWindows operating systems but, if the OSis virtualized on an Apple Mac OS too.

The main issue in this case is that the hostOS (Mac) shares the WiFi interface with thevirtualized OS (Windows) not as a WiFiinterface but as an Ethernet interface.

Configuring Parallels(™)Choose “Configure…” option in ParallelsMenu.

In the window you’re prompted, selectHardware icon and then choose "Network"option on the left.

In the right part of the window, be sure tochoose "Wi-Fi" in "Type" field.

Then choose the device you want tocommunicate with.

These slightly slower network speeds maybe suitable for your needs.

Also note that it is possible to have a se-cond WiFi connection through an additio-nal hardware (NIC – Network interface cardor WiFi adapter).Such a configuration would provide opti-mal data network speed for your AiM de-vice(s) and simultaneously provide Internet access via the second NIC.
