Default Race Studio 2 - Analysis - Two laps, diff "tests"?

Question is in the subject line... essentially... how can I overlay two laps, from two different "test" files?

I want to compare a lap from an event I did this past week, against a lap from a session I did last fall, and overlay the two on top of one another in a Measures Graph.

Can I?

Absolutely!

Open both sessions, by default they open to fastest lap (each session), Select the laps you want to compare and select the measures you want to see. Keep it to GPS speed and say, GPS Long G. Then, make sure the scale on the bottom of the graph is distance, not time in seconds.

Thanks!

I think I know what the problem was.

Last year, I had my car configured incorrectly for the CAN setting. One was BOSCH the other was SIEMENS and when I scroll down over the "measures" I now see they're mostly different.

If I just highlight the stuff that's named identically.... voila, I get overlays.

Correct. The software is literal, so if the names are different at all, it won't auto select them. GPS measures are almost always the same name.

Ok one more quick question: Is it possible to do an overlay with the "Theoretical best lap" that shows up under the Split report, against an actual lap?

Nope, but the time compare graph when looking at multiple laps is the same idea.

Nope, it’s too bad.

Can’t do that in MoTeC or VBOX, either.

One of the best features about Traqmate. When you scrolled across the lap, you could see the linked lap number that would tell you WHICH lap the best (which makes up the TBL) lap WAS so you could find it.

Be very careful with AiM’s calculations of TBL. Validate every exceptional lap segment against the best lap. I don’t find it very reliable, and it’s time consuming to discover where, when and why you did something exceptional. But it is a useful measure.

The time compare graph works best comparing lap to another lap, but as you add laps, it gets tough. It would nice if there was an easier way. Especially with linked video...
