The driving line is mismatched to the lap. What to do to fix this.

 

Is this with just a single lap loaded?

 

Yes Russell just a single lap is loaded.

 

And does this happen for every lap? Or just this one particular lap/track?

 

All laps at this track

 

I'd try re-downloading the track edges. This is done in the Track Edge analysis screen (Analysis->Track Edges). Then click on the icon to download the track edge.

 

Version 2021.4.1 of the Z1 Analyzer is available. This version fixes a bug that could cause the Analyzer to crash when opening a lap.

The Z1 Analyzer is the telemetry analysis application you want to be using to find that extra time you are looking for on track. Version 2021.4 of the Z1 Analyzer introduces many new features into the software. These make it easier to use, view telemetry, and most important of all provide more insight into making you a faster driver.

Yep edges all good. Issue still the same. The other issue is because the track loads in the wrong direction all of the Track Walk information is not useable. Turns are wrong direction , elevations backwards, cambers ??

 

Hi All: Just curious if there were any Windows-based commercial/off-the-shelf log analyzers that will read CoreFTPServer logs and generate utilization charts?

I tried Sawmill but it didnt recognize the log format. I just need to generate some high-level reports like number of logins by users per month.

 

We will have a look at this one track map - maybe there is something wrong with it.

As for the flipped track map you should be able to flip it horizontally to get it to be the right orientation.

 

Ride heights are now in shared memory but still not included in telemetry. The channels should be refreshed to include all the available information.

 

Thanks for the heads-up. We will add them in the next version.

 

Version 2021.4.2 of the Z1 Analyzer is now available. This fixes a few bugs found in version 2021.4.1.

v 2021.4.2
* Fixes a bug that could cause the Analyzer to crash when opening or changing laps.
* Fixes a bug that could prevent laps from the server from being downloaded.

 

The next version of the Z1 Analyzer is well underway. Here's a sneak peek at one of the updates - the Histogram creation dialog has been completely updated, making it easier than ever to create histograms. Previews are included so you can see in real time what your histogram will look like.

@Russell Hodgson Which of these is meant to be the default layout? If none how do I re-instate the default layout?

 

Version 2022.2 of the Z1 Analyzer is now available! The Z1 Analyzer analyzes and trains motorsport drivers.

Full list of release notes:
* Redesigned Open Lap dialog to bring it up to the current design standards.

* There is a new option under the Recorded Telemetry settings tab: Reset Filters. This is on by default. When selected the car and driver filters will be cleared when you select a new sim or track in the Open Lap dialog.

* If laps were pre-scanned in the Dashboard, the Analyzer will now ask if you'd like to open them when it starts up. If you choose to open them you will be taken to the Open lap dialog where the laps will be displayed, allowing you to choose which ones you'd like to open. This feature can be turned off by unchecking the 'Check For Pre-Scanned Laps On Startup' option in the Recorded Telemetry settings tab.

* The various edit list dialogs have been updated to the new look and feel.

* The Open Layout and Save Layout dialogs have been tweaked to bring them inline with the updated edit dialogs.

* The Custom Channel Dialog has been updated to the new look and feel.

* The Histogram Dialog has been updated to the new look and feel. It also includes a preview feature, allowing you to see what your histogram will look like as you create it.

* The Scatter Plot Dialog has been updated to the new look and feel. It also includes a preview feature, allowing you to see what your scatter plot will look like as you create it.

* The Custom Trace Dialog has been updated to the new look and feel. It also includes a preview feature, allowing you to see what your trace will look like as you create it.

* The Math Channel Dialog has been updated to the new look and feel. It also includes a preview feature, allowing you to see what your math channel will look like if you display it as a custom trace.

* You can now customize the background color of the rectangle that surrounds the current cursor value in the traces. This is available under the Screen Colors tab, Trace Lines and Text Colors section. Look for the Data Line Background color swatch.

* You can now choose whether or not you want the cursor values to be displayed on the traces next to the data line. You can turn this option on and off under the Recorded Telemetry tab in the settings dialog. It is on by default.

* Derivatives are now supported in Math Channels. You can create a derivative of any data channel by clicking the 'Der' button in the Math Channel dialog. You'll get a formula like 'Derivative([LF Shock Deflection]). This allows you to create velocity channels for sims that do not support them, such as ACC. To display this, or any other Math Channel in a trace you would create a Custom Trace which displayed the Math Channel.

* After using the Edit dialog to open a custom channel, custom trace, math channel, scatter plot or histogram, closing the associated dialog will return you to the previous edit dialog. In prior versions the edit dialog was also closed, meaning you had to re-open the edit dialog to edit additional items.

* Math channels now have an optional units parameter. This is for your reference purposes only, and does not effect how the channel is displayed.

* The Connect To Stream dialog has been updated to bring it up-to-date with the latest look and feel.

* The Print dialog has been updated to being it up-to-date with the latest look and feel. Note printing is only available with a Pro license.

* You can now select the header image to be used when printing. This is done in the Print dialog.

* The consistency analysis has been added as an option in the Print Dialog.

* The Print dialog will now give tell you what is being printed during the print process.

* You can now clear the data line on a trace by clicking on the left side Y-Axis numbers.

* The Lap Scan dialog has been updated to the latest look and feel.

* The Import External Data dialog has been updated to the latest look and feel, and is now resizable.

* The math channel formula displayed in the Math Channel dialog is now color coded. Different colors are used to display the channels, operators, functions and numbers. You can customize these colors in the Screen Colors tab of the settings dialog.

* You can now left click on the track map in the Driving Line Analysis screen to set the current position on the track.

* There are new options in the Control settings tab that let you specify what left mouse clicks and control-left mouse clicks do in the analysis windows when clicking on the track map. By default left clicking on the track map in an analysis screen will display information about the point you clicked on. This information will vary depending on the analysis screen being displayed. The default control-left click action is to move the cursor to the clicked on point.

* There is a new option in the Open Lap dialog - Suggest Laps. This is a button just above the 'Laps From Other Drivers' section. This will search the available laps and display up to 20 laps that are slightly faster that the currently selected main lap. This makes it easier for you to find laps to compare yourself against in order to improve your lap times. Note that the suggested lap function may not always return laps. It will depend on your lap time and the available laps.

* The popup menu which is displayed in the Open Lap dialog with you right-click on the local or server laps table now includes an option to 'Clear All Filters'. This makes it easier to reset any applied filters and view the entire list of laps again.

* Added 4 default math channels. These are derivatives of the shock deflections. This allows you to view shock velocity histograms and traces, for sims that do not provide shock velocity data, like ACC.

* Added 6 default custom traces. These are Brake/Throttle, Derivative shock deflection, and derivative shock deflection for each wheel.

* Added 4 default histograms. These are Derivative Shock Deflections for the 4 corners of the car. These are in addition to the 4 standard shock velocity histograms. The derivative ones are intended for use with sims that only provide shock deflection data, such as ACC.

* The right-click popup menus on the Edit screens for Scatter Plots, Histograms, Math Channels, Custom Traces and Custom Channels have been standardized. They all provide options for creating new items, editing existing items, copying existing items and deleting existing items.

* The right-click popup menu that is displayed on the traces now includes a 'Graph By' submenu. This allows you to choose how the data in the traces is displayed. It can be either by Lap Time, Lap Percent, or Lap Distance. These are the same options as are included in the Display tab of the Settings dialog. This new placement makes it easier to select them. The selected setting is global to all traces.

* The splash screen now shows the progress of opening any laps that were opened in the Analyzer when it was last closed.

* There is a new checkbox at the top of the Open Lap dialog - Sort By Cars First. When selected this sorts the results for both local and server laps by the car name first. This option is also available in the settings dialog and the right click popup menu.

* Search results for the Laps From Other Drivers in the Open Lap Dialog are no longer returned in one large set of results. This is due to the very large number of laps available for each sim and track. By default 250 will be returned at a time. You can adjust this to either 500 or 1,000 by using the right click popup menu on the Laps From Other Drivers section, or in the settings dialog. When you scroll down to the bottom of the results, additional laps will be loaded if available. This makes for a more responsive interface.

* When registering you can now use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-V to paste your order number into the order number text field, assuming you have previously copied it from another location using the standard Windows copy (CTRL-C) command.
