Using rev counter for FATS

Post by hethers » Tue Apr 10, 2007 3:06 pm

How accurate is it? As you'll see below I have estimated my quickest FATS at 3.1 secs with a stage 1 MRC remap. This was done using quicktime and looking at the video's frame times on the computer (accurate to 0.01 secs).

This seems too fast when comparing to the mrc database!

I think you have answered your own question. Unless your stage 1 S4 is massivly faster than all the stage 3+ cars in the MRC database, your method is bad. I know which I think is the case!

Ah RS4. Given the rpms and the times I don't think you can really use the analog rev counter and the frames from a video to time this, it just isn't going to be anywhere close enough.
