AstraTech - Data Loggers

[FlyingHaggisRacing]

I've just purchased a classic race car that is fitted with a AstraTech system of some description.

I see...
1 unit in the window (which obviously picks up a lap beacon)
1 metal box (about 6" x 4" x 1")
- that has a serial cable coming out of it.


There is no model number markings on any of the units.

If I post pictures of the units...

a) would anyone be able to identify it ?
b) would anyone have any operating instructions ?
c) would anyone have the software ?


thanks.

Can you post a photo?

Note that you'll need Windows XP or earlier to run the software...although it should run under Vmware player.

Hi

Yes, many thanks for the email.

Here are photos of the 2 units in the car.

Doesn't look anything like the one I had!

The other box looks suspiciously like an early Race Logic traction control box (based on general size, appearance and connectors). There should be wires going to either wheel or ABS module. Also some wires going from this box to injectors. The serial cable coming out of it can be plugged into a PC for config purposes. Software is available on Racelogic's website. IIRC you can plug it into a PC via Hyperterminal.

I know this is a long shot, as the thread is very old now, but does anybody still have any software and documentation for the Astra Tech Race Technology data loggers?

I've been asked to look at one for a friend who is rebuilding a classic racer with one fitted.

The setup comprises the beacon, logger, remote, 2 LCD screens and another small diecast box.
Unfortunately, the only thing at appears to power up is the beacon.
The only numbers I can find, are a partially obscured Type no. ending 72, and a serial no. 1090D6.
No documentation was provided with the car, so I am hoping that somebody on here still has some, or could possibly put me in touch with somebody who could help.

Thanks in Advance,
Andy.

Some years late to the party here, but I have a complete Astratech data logger (with beacon, and I’m fairly sure with DOS software and manual) in my garage. I’m guessing it’s worthless, so I’d be happy to send it to your friend for the cost of postage if he’s still interested. Im away until Jan 15 so can’t actually check the box or send it until then.

If you still have it available, Im interested as I have an (old) Astratech system that I liked using (even on MS-DOS..)

I'll send you a private message.
