Data Mapping Question

[nickpoore]

Hi.

I have a bunch of Data Files in TraqMate format.

I have done the export, and the data files work.

However, my custom mappings do not show up in Dashware.
ie.
A0 is mapped to Throttle
D5 is mapped to Brake.

I have attached the first 20+ lines of my CSV file, so you can see what I'm talking about.

TraqMate have identified the values in the data, but I cannot get Dashware to use them.

I cannot figure out how to modify your TraqMate data input settings.

I found the answer to this.

On the main PROJECT screen...
Go to PROJECT GAUGES and highlight the gauge that you want to alter.
The first button on that toolbar is now EDIT GAUGE INPUT ASSIGNMENTS.

Now, I can map the Throttle to the A0 input, and the Brake to the D5 input.

It was there, it just took some finding.

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

In DashWare 1.1 you can clone our Traqmate Data Profile and setup your own custom mappings. That way you don't have to bring up the Gauge Input Mapper every time you make a new project:
-Go to the "File" menu, choose "Edit Data Profiles...". This will bring up the Data Profile Editor.
-In the drop down list, select "Traqmate" and click the clone button.
-Give your clone a name like "Nick's Traqmate".
-Click the "Open Data File..." button and pick one of your Traqmate CSV files for reference.
-Add two new column mappings (bottom right area).
-->Map "A0" to "Steering, Throttle, Brakes \ Throttle Position"
-->Map "D5" to "Steering, Throttle, Brakes \ Brake Position"
-Click OK to save your changes.

Now when you add a Traqmate data file to a project you can choose your own data profile (we should even choose it for you) and those mappings will be applied automatically.

Thanks,
Rolf

Great update - thanks.

FYI, for some reason, your Traqmate profile is importing the GForce directions incorrectly, I guess I can fix it here too, but figured you might like to know.

Oh, whoops. I'll fix that, thanks for bringing it to our attention!
