New unit of competency. |
Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to configure a data acquisition system, and analyse and present motor sport data. It involves preparing for the task, analysing data requirements, configuring an electronic system, and retrieving, analysing and presenting data in various forms, including charts, graphs, tables, comparisons and reports. The data may be related to weather, circuit, driver or rider characteristics, system capability, and vehicle design specifications.
It applies to those working in the motor sport industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Identify and confirm data acquisition requirements |
1.1 Team requirements and controlling body rules, category rules and supplementary regulations are used to specify data requirements 1.2 Benchmark specifications for a correctly functioning electronic data acquisition system are accessed and interpreted |
2. Configure electronic data acquisition system |
2.1 Tools and material to support data acquisition process are selected and prepared 2.2 Component rates, ratios and parameters for input sensors are calculated and entered into system math channels 2.3 Sample rates most suited to particular data logging channel are entered 2.4 System operation is checked according to manufacturer specifications and team requirements |
3. Retrieve data |
3.1 Data acquisition system start-up procedure is carried out according to manufacturer procedures 3.2 Data acquisition system is operated according to its designed capacity and purpose, manufacturer specifications and safety requirements 3.3 Retrieved data is verified, where appropriate, using reliable alternative or optional processes according to team requirements 3.4 Data parameter variables and potential for inaccurate results are identified |
4. Analyse data |
4.1 Sources of collected data are compared for consistency 4.2 Data is analysed using mathematical processes 4.3 Trends and patterns in data are analysed, including non-conforming results outside of predicted outcomes 4.4 Possible reasons for trends and patterns are investigated 4.5 Potential vehicle performance enhancement solutions are identified 4.6 Problems with required data or operation of equipment are reported to appropriate persons |
5. Present data |
5.1 End users of statistical data and their preferred format are identified 5.2 Data is represented to meet end user needs 5.3 Recommendations are documented and presented with supporting data |
6. Complete work processes |
6.1 Equipment and support material are cleaned, maintained and prepared ready for further use according to manufacturer procedures and team requirements 6.2 Faults in acquisition systems and components are diagnosed 6.3 Unserviceable equipment and faults are documented and appropriate action is taken according to team procedures |
