Key Features

 

ST8999 Predictive Lap Timing Option
Predictive Lap TimingThe Stack Predictive Lap Time System sets a new standard in real time driver display technology, providing information drivers have only ever previously dreamt of: constantly updated, highly accurate prediction of the next lap time!

This system continuously calculates how long it has taken to get to the current position on the lap and, based on the best previous lap, it already "knows" the driver's best time from this point to complete the lap. The combination of the two times provides the predicted lap time.

 

DataPro Analysis software
DataProDataPro Designer Software (part of the system package) facilitates easy “Drag-and-drop” configuration of all elements of the data acquisition system. Simply select your Driver Display System and Engineering System from the drop down lists provided, and set-up each module to meet your project’s specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

Why do Stack instruments still have analogue displays?

A.

Stack believe that an analogue display is still superior in imparting some data quickly and accurately. The human brain can process information from analog displays far quicker than digital displays. An analogue display can tell you at a glance WHERE a value is, a digital display can only tell you WHAT the value is. This is why they are still used in cars and aircraft, even though the underlying information feed is more often than not digital.

Stack do include digital displays in our intelligent tachometers and in our dash displays where information is simultaneously displayed on a large character LCD readout. In the end, user preference is key.

If you haven't been able to find the information above then we can offer more help here in our FAQ section. If you are having trouble finding a solution then please contact your dealer who will be happy to assist you.
