11.6 – Graph / Time or Distance
All data is captured using a time reference (Hz) therefore the standard method of analysis uses Time as the X axis
for any graph window. There are however occasions when the Distance axis is more suitable, such as comparisons
over a fixed distance (Lap against L.ap)
The problem of comparing two sets of data against Time are shown on the graph comparison below. Each set of
data covers the same section of track
and start at the same physical point,
the gradual misalignment of data is a
function of the difference in time each
vehicle takes to cover the same
distance, as shown here
Data misalignment
This same piece of data when viewed using Distance completely removes the misalignment because the data is
referenced to a physical position on
the track rather than a time.
Presuming that both pieces of data
cover the same distance there will be
no misalignment. To understand this
process more thoroughly, read section
2.2.
To change between Time & Distance, either open the graph properties window and make the change as detailed in
section 11.4, or press this button on the lower tool bar
